I don’t have anything that is pressing-pressing, but there’s definitely stuff I should be doing. Instead I am laying in bed like an invalid. Help
Once upon a time this happened to me when I had classes. I kept saying I’d get up for the next one and never did (in fact I basically stopped going to class for a week).
I really knew I should go and get out of bed but the more I thought about it, the harder it got.
Eventually, I got medicated, and while sometimes my body tries to stop me from taking my meds, it’s easier to overcome that than it is to get out of bed when executive dysfunction hits.
That’s why I keep my pills right next to my bed and typically I take them immediately when my alarm goes off.
I also set out a protein shake next to them every night so I can eat “breakfast” without having to wait for them to kick in.
Probably not the best solution for everyone, but if you want a suggestion, that’s mine.
Also remember that you’re not alone and while some people might not see the struggle, that doesn’t make it any less valid. Be kind to yourself
For real. I wake up an hour before I actually need to in order to do all that, then go back to sleep if possible. I set two alarms per night. 1 for meds, 1 to wake up an hour later. It might sound awful, but I’m just trying to make it through day by day.
There’s this app on F-Droid called WikWok. It basically presents you with random wikipedia articles in a kind of feed like with TikTok.
If I were you, I’d download it and scroll until something that you find interesting appears and then read a bit of it. Then ask yourself a question.
This usually gets me up and pacing, and once I’m pacing I want to fidget with stuff so I go do chores.
May not work for you, but that’s what I got.

I get this sometimes (also foe leaving the house). What you need is a stimulant. Coffee might do it if you can’t get meds.
This was after Vyvanse and coffee 😅 I was very focused on all the NYT games. Just couldn’t convince myself to be productive.
You are not allowed to think what you want to do. Give yourself space and accept what you want to do and you will do it.
This is actually a really good idea.
I highly recommend getting back pain that’ll essentially whip you out of bed after 6 hours of shitty sleep. Works every time!
No, seriously though. Don’t get back pain.
