I can't get out of bed

[ShoeGurl1973]

I can't seem to get out of bed. I have a job that luckily lets me work from home but going on 4 days staying in bed sad is about all I can take. Once I'm up and dressed I do much better but lately I can't even do that. Anyone have tips on how to pull yourself out of this slump? I wouldn't take my ex back even if he came back so I don't know why I can't just move on. It seems like so much energy to find someone new and I just don't have it in me to do so. I'm 37 and I feel like I"m too old to find anyone and get married at this point, which is pretty ridiculous, but that's how I feel. I don't want to be alone. I miss doing the little things for my ex, like making him dinner and packing his lunches...I dunno if he even misses those things or not. I feel like staying in bed forever in a Xanax coma.

I'm sure many on here can relate to what you're feeling right now. What do you need to do? It's simple......force yourself to get out of the bed and get dressed everyday. The first few days will take a lot of inner strength but you must do this. Give yourself simple daily goals like today I will take a shower and get dressed and reward yourself when you've met your goal. Keep setting those daily goals and increase your activity to include getting work done, getting exercise, meeting for lunch, etc. You're in control of this so time to take control!

Like you i work at home so I make it a point to get my workout clothes ready at night before going to bed. Then I wake up, and go for a run. The days i don't feel like it i just tell myself i'll only go for 5 minutes. Even if it's raining i always end up at least walking for 30 minutes. This really helps.

 

Make dates with friends every single day. Don't talk about your breakup. If you do various activities it helps take your mind off it.

 

People meet and fall in love at any point in their lives. You will find someone else
