Anybody else spends all day long lying in bed ?

[calssilva]

My depression makes me feel without motivation, so I can't get out of my bed...sometimes, not even to eat something. Is there anybody in similar situation ? How can I overcome because I need energy at least to execute my ctb

 

[Deathbydemo]

Yep. I barely ever get out of bed anymore. Little to nothing outside of my bed interests me. You are not alone.

 

[Mentalmick]

More or less, yes.

 

[Trisolaris]

Yep, that's exactly me.

 

[demuic]

Most of the time. I don't like sleeping so much but I'm not even missing anything.

 

[UseItOrLoseIt]

Depends on how much benzos or tramadol I have at my disposal. Otherwise, my insomnia makes it torturous.

 

[Neo288]

Yes this goes in fairly regular phases for me, when I feel the funk coming on I dump a bunch of supplies in my room (usually just bottles of water and a loaf of bread) and lay there and end up falling asleep from the exhaustion of self hatred. Usually sleeping for about 18 - 20 hours a day for 3 or 4 days, emerging only to use the bathroom when I have to.

Once that passes I spend the next day or 2 feeling absolute pure lethargy from what I assume is dehydration and then return to my normal baseline for about 2 weeks and repeat this. I'm trying not to enter this phase again now.

Thinking of you

 

[Mentalmick]

18 - 20 hours a day

Fuck me, I don't sleep that much in 4 days.

 

[voyager]

Yes, sleeping or lying around in bed is about the only thing that still gives me some sense of comfort. In my dreams life is still normal at times. Still have sleep disorders, but it's by far not as bad as last year. As for lack of energy, I just edge myself slowly towards my goal, doing one thing after another and not all at once. If I need a day off I take it, and don't beat myself up about it.

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

Yes, most of the time I'm laying in bed or sleeping

 

[luten]

only sleep at night, i don't like beds much, think it has to do with my childhood, spending so much time in bed after surgeries. I like comfortable couches, to sit on. With my last operation, i refused to lay in bed before the surgery, I walked to theater. Also when i go to drs rooms, i refuse to lay down, they must do their evaluation with me in upright or sitting position.

 

[Lost Magic]

I have a laptop bed/table and a very comfortable incline cushion so I am practically bed bound by choice haha. Sometimes I can sleep for days. When I am awake: I love music, games, internet chat and movies. I still don't want to be here, though, but I am going to make myself as comfortable as possible while I am still here.

 

[Last chance]

Yep,I hate it and it makes me feel so much worse but I just cant stop doing it.

 

[Vicepuma]

I know the feeling. All day in bed. I'm awake though. Most of the time, I'm on my cellphone... just looking at random youtube videos or browsing random websites. Just to pass time. I don't even know what's the point, but at least time passes. Feels like I'm delaying the inevitable, but eh.

 

[Bat 17]

I used to always get out of bed around 6am feeling fine. Now I'm on a cocktail of psychiatric medications getting up is a constant battle, although I'm still usually up by 8/9 on the days I don't work

 

[LifeQuitter2018]

Yep, that's me. My sleep schedule is fucked too. Usually stay up all the night and sleep in the morning + afternoon.
I study mostly in the evening.

 

[calssilva]

Oh my....so many people in the same situation...I'm so sorry because for me it should exists only two states: to work for ctb or to live a worthy life. It seems to me that most people here are in the middle of this two states

 

[bad luck]

I have recently had trazadone added. I can drink 4 coffees a day that I will continue to sleep the same. I'm practically a zombie. I still have agoraphobia at times and uncontrollable crying spells. I could control them before. I just want to sleep and not wake up

Does the trazodone make you sleepy?

 

[bad luck]

Does the trazodone make you sleepy?

Yes, paroxetine 60 mg in the morning and 150 mg of trazodone in the evening and a zolpidem. I think it is to get rid of the diazepam that, basically, I do not take except if I have to go somewhere

 

[Bergamot]

well yes thanks to my girlfriend who ruins my life every day, even at Easter she does everything to hurt me or not to calculate me, like ruining someone's holidays.

 

[Fragile]

Yes, almost all day.

It's mostly because my body sucks, but depression sure plays a big part in it too.

 

[disfiguredone]

Yesterday was the first day I spent the entire day in bed. I was crying most of the day (I have a growing deformity and the days where I can see it has gotten worse are hell) and I became so anxious and exhausted that I took 2 klonopin, and was completely out of it. It was a beautiful day, 70 degrees and I just looked out the window, with no will to move or eat. I'm sorry for all of us who are in this boat.

Practically my routine

 

[BandAddict]

It comes in waves. Some days make an effort to stay out of bed, I might clean of something, or just sit around. But I spend a lot of time in bed. Especially when I feel my mood shifting, I go to my room to lay down and hopefully fall asleep. In bed now, I don't know when I can bring myself to leave again today. It's Easter and I can't even not be a pieve5of fucking shit for one day.

No

 

[loopylou]

I have two moods. Sit in bed all day doing absolutely nothing but surviving.
Or manically doing everything and not stop. Don't really have an inbetween

I spend all day in bed as well. It's the safest place for me to be. Everything else has become frightening and stressful. The only thing I want to do, like you, is CTB. As you said, this requires energy which is why I am putting it off until tomorrow or the next day or the next day.

 

[LittleJem]

Often. I'm less bedridden since Prozac - was bedridden for two years b4 that with depression. The only things that got me out of bed before Prozac were Tramadol and Modafinil. Not together. Tramadol can give more energy and can help depression..
