What do you guys do for motivation during the day when even getting out of bed is a struggle? What helps you get going even when you're so down and depressed it's hard to do anything. I'm so tired of just laying around but can't seem to get myself up and moving. Everyday "normal" things are such a struggle.

What personally help me Miss2k was being more positive and have faith in God ( or something more powerful than you). Keep it consistent and it will change your mindset with time. Thank you

I personally promise myself a coffee every morning

Going to get a latte from a coffee shop or food from a restaurant. Also getting up to take my meds for pain. That helps me get up but sometimes I'll just slink back in bed.

Some people find motivation in promising themselves a treat like a delicious cup of coffee when they get up. Others use music to boost their mood and energy levels. Some find that having to get up to use the restroom can be a starting point to then convince themselves to do other self-care routines. Hydrating and making the bed every day, setting small goals like just sitting up, or doing something before getting out of bed like taking medication can also help. Remembering loved ones and doing things for them can provide motivation as well. Some people also find it helpful to imagine a future version of themselves who is proud that they did something now.
