Do you really look forward to getting out of bed each day

I never look forward to getting out of bed. I have depression too, and I find it so hard. Especially lately. I wish it was always dark so I could just sleep forever curled up in a ball with the covers over my head. That would be just perfect. But the reality is that I have to work, and I have to force myself to move, no matter how hard it is, and I have to act happy so that none of the customers notice how bad I feel. I have to go and have a cry every now and then in the back room, but otherwise I feel I am coping the best I can. But I am definately knowing how you feel... I really do understand. Hugs to you my friend!

on the weekends sometimes I do, depending if we have plans or not. During the week its hard, because I try to get up early and exercise first, plus my job is really boring so I don't really want to get here! I suffered from mild depression a few years back so can relate to what you're saying, I hope you're working on it though and start to feel better soon :)

I know what you're going through..sorry to hear it.

I have been through rough times years ago when I would not want to get out of bed, but my children needed to be looked after so that was my main concern at the time, but if they were not there at the time, I don't know what would have happened. NEVER want to experience that again. Depression is the pits!

I've been feeling a little depressed lately myself and have to force myself out of bed in the morning.Not having a job and the financial crap is starting to get me down.I just try to remember all the things I'm grateful for and it keeps me going.It helps that I have great friends such as you to help me through my rough patch! Hugs my friend

yes of course! i do not want to stay in bed for the whole day!

I don't sleep well at night, so morning always comes too soon for me.

I am looking forward to get out everyday. Actually not looking forward, I can't wait to get out of bed once my eyes are open. It's a brand new day and good things will come (that's what I tell myself). You should really learn to relax yourself. Read something funny in myLot to brighten your day. Be positve and do silly things to make yourself smile and laugh.

No. There are days that I wish that I don't really need to wake up. And I really do stay in bed and not report for work and stuff. But then I look back, I think that I'm being very irresponsible about many things.. and I need to grow up in my own feelings. Everyone wants to be happy.. some people just don't know how. :-)

I dont suffer from depression (unless its situational) but I would much prefer to be in bed with the children quiet than up and yelling at them to get going for the day.

Not lately; I have a mild-moderate case of depression. I take a 2-hour nap everyday, as well.

Not now but it did happen a bit when the ex-wife and I first separated ..... but everyone kept saying I had to keep going for the children ...... they were what did keep my going for a long time ...... then I met my partner one weekend when at a mates' place for his birthday party. Only once since then when I had an accident in the truck ..... and got the sack for it because the company I worked for didn't like it ....... if they had decent schedules and hadn't forced everyone to do long hours it would never have happened ...... they cannot do that now with the new laws for truckies.

music man, it can help you through!
