for me: the sheer fact that i've got work or school. but days i have neither, i get up for the occasional cigarette or a couple bites to eat, and climb back in. after five or six drinking is acceptable here, so i get up to drink for a few hours and then go back to bed. once in a GREAT while i actually have something worth getting up for... this weekend i think i'm gonna go down to SIU to party it up, but thats about it...

so what gets everyone else's ass outta bed in the morning? what do you find to look forward to?

i used to think about beautiful days, just being outside, my dog, my friends, whatever... but lately i'm just so damn alone that none of that seems worth it. the dog'll always climb on in with me...

how do i kick this cause i hate this feeling?

Hey, I am the first to admit that being free from any real need to get up in the morning is fine, but then it gets REALLY old when as you said. I think, for me, having a schedule of some sort makes a big difference. It's being accountable to yourself in the long haul and that's the trick of it!

Hmm...when I start to lose the motivation behind what used to get me up in the morning I look for change.

Right now what gets me up in the morning is a project I'm working on during Interior Design and reading all the amendments to the constitution during APS(i'm a nerd, I am aware of that -_-)

well seems as I have 9 yes 9 dogs in my house..I have to get up and get them all out to potty and then get them all fed..I then know that I have to get up and get my house clean for my husband who is hard at work.....I have a life I have to live...some days i do not want to but I know I have to..

deleted_user 10/16/2007

honestly? because i'm hungry...lol...but when i can i definitely do climb back into bed.i love to eat...and other things (like school work) need to be done and i like to get it one as quickly as possible. and sometimes...my tv shows..it distracts me from being miserable

I get up to let my dog out, have my coffee i look forward to, feed the cats, then take a nap 4 hours later LOL

what wakes me up in the morning? The cat jumping on me to get up and put food in their bowl! lol

What gets me up in the morning when I have time off from work is the mere fact that I need to run my errands such as grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning the house, paying the bills, etc... On the days that all my errands are taken care of, I guess I just stay in bed. I catch up on episodes of my favorite shows that I did not have time to watch during the week & I love to reach out to all my friends here on DS.

lately, the only reason i have to get out of bed is to go to the bathroom. and then i simply cannot fall asleep again after that.

deleted_user 10/16/2007

Exactly Gerard- sometimes the physical fact that I gotta get up and pee wakes me up too! lol
It is a shame those functions can not wait until actually are ready to wake up. ha, ha

Usually a dog poking me with her nose, followed by her "worm dance"lying on her back on the bed, all four feet in the air, and WIGGLE!!!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
