Since I’m being discharged from my in home services with my counselor pretty soon and I’m no longer seeing her I’m having trouble getting out of bed.
Idk if I’m depressed or if I have no motivation anymore.
I need to set up a schedule for myself to follow so I have more of a reason to get up.
I’ve never had to do this before but I need more structure in my life.
Feel free to share if you’re in the same boat. I’d like to know I’m not alone with this.
I need a schedule badly. I sit around too much.
i make schedules all the time. rarely follow them, heres my current schedule its more realistic than my previous ones.
10am wake have coffee
11am walk on treadmill
12pm-3pm eat lunch, get online, listen to radio
3pm yard work/ gardening
4pm workout
5pm eat dinner
6pm shower and shave
7pm home chores
8pm guitar practice
9pm-midnight get online, listen to music.
midnight-10am sleep.
good luck, sticking to it is the hardest part.
I have a few liked activities - listening to the radio, or at least having it in the background, doing Word Seek is challenging to me, meals with other people are nice, and,of course, the chores like emptying the dishwasher and folding laundry. Occasionally, I call a friend just to chat, especially now. And I think about being motivated by my being a Bahai.
I hope you can get some ideas from this. 
I have nothing to put in a schedule but I use my cellphone notepad app and alarms to remember things like taking my pills and my psychiatrist apt.
I’m the same lately, never slept so much in my life, some of the reason is I just don’t care about much anymore.
Even if I plan stuff, like today was going to do accounting and so far did nothing, it is hard when your alone all the time to motivate.
Not sure what I will do but stuff needs to get done soon
I’m alone almost all the time too @Mountainman.
Yeah that’s the problem, alone, no one to answer to, no one to feed off their energy
I am used to doing nothing but hiding out in my room. On Monday, though, my kids start school online, and I’m going to have to be up and monitoring them. So I’m setting a schedule for myself. I just hope I can follow it. I’m giving it a practice run tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Eat breakfast; then exercise.
I got a job.
Broke up the monotony.
Usually I set my alarm for 630 on days I work but now that I work from home I don’t have to. I am always up by 8. I don’t have to drive in to work right now. I just have to go upstairs to my home office.
If you go to bed early no problems getting up in the morning.
That’s not always true. I can go to bed at 8 and not get up till 9 or 9:30. Everyone is different. And some meds make a person sleep more.
I seem to wake up about sunrise. I wish I could sleep longer. I can’t seem to do it.
Have no problems going to bed early. Can still sleep until sunrise.
I agree with @anon4362788. Nature and meds can make a big difference.
Try melatonin, it made me sleep a lot.
It helps me to have certain set things. Once per day I would go to x place. Monday I would grocery shop. Tuesday I would go to a support group at the library. Wednesday I would go to guitar lessons. Thursday I would take Starlet to his mom’s house. Friday I would have a friend over. Weekends were time off.
My schedule is all shot to hell now. I have a kid who wakes up at 9 every day, and I have to do some form of homeschooling with him, but things are so hazy outside that. I feel like I have lost all sense of time. I will spend three days straight in the same pajamas. I really relied on external motivation to do things.
Nature wakes me up every morning when the sun comes up but I sleep 9 to 10 hours a day now on meds. Before I got sick I was good with 5.
The whole time I was in the Marines I would watch David Letterman every night until past midnight and get up at 545 in the morning to go to work. That would kill me today.
I feel myself doing this too to some extent recently. Like not changing my shirt everyday.
Sounds like me. Lately, no matter how late I go to bed, I’m waking up with the sun. I wake up with motivation, sometimes shower then if I’m not too scared. But once I take my meds for the morning, I’m out again for at least four hours. It’s crazy. But yeah, I can get by on only a few hours of sleep.
Routine is my friend. I used to do lists and tick off what i got done but I’m more flexible nowadays. I still try to have meds same time everyday. Eat meals same time etc . It really works well for me.
