I'm very lucky in that I had a friend call me to get my butt out of bed and the house today. Also, the housing program Im in takes people out to dinner every Wednesday. Also, I'm going to the movies on Sunday with the same program. It will be good to get out and meet new people. I'm sure the slump I'm in right now is just Pms but I sure hope it doesn't last long. Any words of encouragment?

Actually considering you just moved into your very own place, the "peace" of being Private is probably keeping you in bed! Everything has been so chaotic for so long. :)

Yes, you will pass through this, and get out. This Is a phase. Enjoy the privacy you now have, and let the "get out and do things" mood come again. It will. Soon.

Sometimes you just have to make yourself get up. I hope it doesn't last long. Hugs

give yourself a motivator, like a fresh cup of coffee or something else. a reward.

Shlay - I definitely have those days where I JUST don't want to get out of the bed or off of the couch. I have had plenty in the past year. Getting a normal amount of sleep AND keeping a behavioral schedule.

I hope you feel better soon.
