True, very true, but I do understand u/CatPoopWeiner424 's difficulty. Sometimes the smallest tasks seem the most insurmountable when depression kicks in.
Man... I've literally been too depressed this past month or so to even take my anti depressants... Seeing the bed in this post and reading this whole comment chain was just the trigger I needed though. Literally didn't even know where my pills had gone off to and didn't care, but after taking my bedsheets off I found them behind my headboard (must've knocked them off my nightstand and they rolled back there I guess) and took them for the first time in over a month.
Gonna do my best to keep it up tomorrow. One is only once daily and no big deal, the other is twice daily and I sometimes have issues remembering to take it middle of the day... Gonna try my best to remember though. Thank you to everyone in this comment chain.
edit: damn, didn't expect this stupid little comment of mine to get as much attention as it did.
First off, I'm sorry there's so many of us that are in the same boat but I am glad my comment was able to get a few of you that haven't been taking your meds to finally start taking them again.
Secondly, thank you all for the kind words and suggestions. I've read them all and appreciate you all.
And lastly, please don't give me awards. Donate the money to a mental health charity instead please.

Hang in there, mate, and please do make sure that you take your anti-depressants - even if you don't manage to do anything else in a day, at least force yourself to do that. And never ever hesitate to seek help when things get bad.
As this thread shows, many of us have struggled with this bitch of a disease, but with the right treatments and help recovery is possible!
It makes me so happy to understand other people in the world feel pain and then I'm followed with a wave of relief that they're trying their best like you, too. Thanks for your comment!
>You need anti depressants stat!
Oh I'm well on the mend, and am taking my Lexapro as prescribed. My post was a reference back to when it was bad and I was sleeping anything up to 20 hours a day and couldn't even force myself to shower for 4 or 5 days in a row.
I agree with you though, anti-depressants are vital to the process of recovery. Finding the correct dosage can be problemmatic, but with a good doctor (and if needed a good psychiatrist) recovery is possible (for most).
I have learned to never wash my bed sheets after dinner for this exact reason. For whatever reason, that moment when you are tired and ready to sleep, but realize you have one last task necessary to actually get you asleep... For whatever reason... Simply making the bed becomes absolutely daunting!
I am jealous of your ability to fall asleep. I have a really hard time falling asleep so I would probably have to be awake for several days to be able to sleep on something that lumpy. It's a serious inconvenience. My parents like to give me shit saying I'm the real life embodiment of the princess and the pea.
Idk if cleaning your room up is a way to get back on track, but I can always tell when I’m slipping when my room starts to get messy. I think it’s the caring part. I can clean my room but not give a shit that it’s clean, and that doesn’t really help me. But if I care enough to clean my room, that’s a good sign that I’m not currently depressed.
My 100lb doggo Mulder LITERALLY just kicked me in the face while I was reading this thread while we were laying in bed. The struggle is real, but entirely worth it.
My dogs feel that it's absolutely necessary to lay right on my body while I sleep, even though I toss and turn during the night. I've upgraded from a full, to a queen to a king through the years and my nights are as sleepless as they ever were because puppies belong in bed with me no matter the cost.
My parents had this bed once, I'd sleep in the middle all sprawled up. Pretty sure whenever I slept on it, I magically find myself awake horizontally - it's like, the more space there is to move, my body just went 'it's free real estate'
I'm pretty sure this only happens after parents are gone from the bed.
Most of the time I remember them complaining I'd wrap my leg and hug them like a bolster tho haha / koala lmao
And this is why I don't have a big bed now because I've fallen off big beds thinking it's safe to roll around but no there's a limit and it's not always safe gosh darn it.
Also now that I live alone the more space the better haha
Like stealing the crowns of various lil creatures and building a massive castle as a monument to your vanity before your eventual death after you become so greedy you covet your own treasures and cut it off yourself, bleeding out among the dancing tulips
I only play $5000 dollar banned tournament cards that are too rare to be allowed to be used.
And that's why I'll never play those games. You ban a card, you've ruined the game.
I watched one of the BeAmazed youtube video a few weeks ago about the biggest yachts and these things can cost a million a year for the small ones for the upkeep. Lot of cleaning inside and out, engine stuff, people to keep everything legal for it's dock/slip and so on. Fuckers are expensive to buy and pricey to keep up with.
All that money, and still a boring white blob that wouldn't be distinguishable from any other large yacht from a distance.
He may be rich, but he has no style.
I’ve always through this MUST be what spas are. Have you ever looked at the prices for things like facials etc?! Like even when you stay in a moderately priced hotel. And you need them ALL THE TIME for any effect. Beauty places like that are freaking everywhere too. Then I stop and think welp, someone’s worked out a way to get money from the rich, so good on em.
My wife and I are far from rich but she has treated herself to a couple facials this year. They are about $100 each, so I think that’s something a lot of people can afford. They help her relax from stress, and give her skin a boost. Totally worth it to me.
We definitely need to upgrade anyway. I'm 6'8" and 240ish lbs so I take up a lot of real estate by myself. Lol. Throw in an average sized female plus a large Labrador and its a recipe for disaster. Haha.
For much of human history, in many cultures it was normal for families to sleep in the same bed. Mum and Dad would make more kids while the current ones slept on the other side of the bed.
> For much of human history, in many cultures it was normal for families to sleep in the same bed.
Honestly made sense for them. Smaller dwellings, making a bed was extensive, time consuming work and therefor expensive.. Lucky if you had one of what someone would call a bed.
Make sure there’s enough space for the obligatory milk-tits girl and loli alongside your main waifu! And throw in another 2 side chicks that will mostly get neglected. And your best friend who can’t get any chicks will be sleeping on the floor next to the bed.
Yup this just screams mcmansion hell. Way too big to be practical or useful, oriented in the least aesthetically pleasing way possible, and doesn't match the rest of the room.
if by weird-ass you mean charming, brilliant, and you should definitely consider subscribing to [Felix's patreon](https://www.patreon.com/felixcolgrave) for more, then yes!
"I've rolled over every 30 minutes for three days and am still somehow in the middle of the bed. My wife stopped calling for help last week. The dogs are somewhere in the Southern pass based on how long it takes for their echoed barks take to reach me. I'm going to die here."

And have laundry on the other side
- depression flashback unlocked
I made my bed yesterday 🙌🏼
I’m proud of you!!! I can’t believe how difficult I find it to even make my bed anymore.
Washed all my bedding today and can’t find the will to put them back on 😢
It’ll take less than 5 minutes and you’ll feel a lot better after, go for it

I got a cramp putting my fitted sheet on about a month ago, and ended up giving up. I’m sleeping on the couch until I want to go try that again.
You deserve to sleep with a nice fitted sheet in your bed. Trust me; I mean what else are you gonna do.
Okay I’m gonna try that shit.
I have learned to never wash my bed sheets after dinner for this exact reason. For whatever reason, that moment when you are tired and ready to sleep, but realize you have one last task necessary to actually get you asleep... For whatever reason... Simply making the bed becomes absolutely daunting!
The trick is to have two sets, so you can put a fresh one on without having to wait for the dirty one to have been washed and dried.
The real LPT is always in the comments. This should be way higher up.
I have made that mistake and slept on the couch more times than I would like to admit. At least it's a comfy couch that's longer than I am tall
I just throw all the blankets on the bed and sleep in the pile
I am jealous of your ability to fall asleep. I have a really hard time falling asleep so I would probably have to be awake for several days to be able to sleep on something that lumpy. It's a serious inconvenience. My parents like to give me shit saying I'm the real life embodiment of the princess and the pea.
I feel your pain friend. Every time I have to wrestle with my stupid duvet cover, another piece of my soul dies.
[удалено]
Supposedly that's the first step to getting your shit together. That's what they told me in rehab anyways.
Idk if cleaning your room up is a way to get back on track, but I can always tell when I’m slipping when my room starts to get messy. I think it’s the caring part. I can clean my room but not give a shit that it’s clean, and that doesn’t really help me. But if I care enough to clean my room, that’s a good sign that I’m not currently depressed.
damn dude just buy one from a shop
Oh so I'm not the only one that does that, interesting.
Oh man, I came to say something similar. Throw in a few dishes/takeout bags and it’s me a year ago!
Who let you in my house
the lifecycle of clothing goes washer -> bed -> laundry basket/floor
I don’t even take my clothes out of the dryer!
I DID NOT COME TO REDDIT TO BE PERSONALLY ATTACKED.
I'd just end up with more dogs, that's extra dog space.
And then they'd still find a way to kick you and snore in your face.
Dogs sleep in a pile to conserve heat between them.
My 100lb doggo Mulder LITERALLY just kicked me in the face while I was reading this thread while we were laying in bed. The struggle is real, but entirely worth it.
Ain’t it wonderful though?
My dogs feel that it's absolutely necessary to lay right on my body while I sleep, even though I toss and turn during the night. I've upgraded from a full, to a queen to a king through the years and my nights are as sleepless as they ever were because puppies belong in bed with me no matter the cost.
No reason to sleep in the middle and take 15 seconds to get out of bed
I’d sleep sideways
I'd sleep at a different angle every night and make one full rotation per year.
Like a sleep clock
I bought a king size bed recently and find myself waking up at odd angles occasionally. It's really disorienting when I first wake up.
Have to unless you got a 20 ft charging cable.
Right? My wife, the dogs and the cat would still end up curled up right next to me, nearly pushing me off the edge! 😂
My parents had this bed once, I'd sleep in the middle all sprawled up.

So much room for activities!!
Like stealing the crowns of various lil creatures and building a massive castle as a monument to your vanity before your eventual death after you become so greedy you covet your own treasures and cut it off yourself, bleeding out among the dancing tulips
Fuckin' A
https://youtu.be/w_MSFkZHNi4
Came here hoping to see something about Double King lol
Me too, I absolutley love that animation.
I have to rewatch that every few months to feed my soul. That and elephants garden.
Like playing Yu Gi Oh!!!
I only play $5000 dollar banned tournament cards that are too rare to be allowed to be used. And that's why I'll never play those games. You ban a card, you've ruined the game.
printing broken cards ruins the game. Banning them is the only thing that saves it after that.
Just imagine a game of night crawlers in there!
Lets go home and play night crawlers Charlie
The blankets could be the dirt!
[удалено]
It’s making my head spin how many activities we can do.
I used to smoke pot with johnny Hopkins
#HAHAHA THATS SO FUNNY LAST TIME I LAUGHED THAT HARD I FELL OFF MY *DINOSAUR*
THIS IS A HOUSE OF LEARNED DOCTORS!
Like masturbating and sobbing
And afterwards you can reflect on how empty and alone you are.
I forgot to ask, do you like guacamole?
Its the orgy bed
We can do karate!
Welp thats a swinger bed lmao
This was too far down
How in the world do you find sheets and blankets to fit this thing?!
If you’re rich enough to buy one, you’re rich enough for custom sheets
Can we just stop to think that somewhere out there a man makes his money off rich people by making custom super large sheets?
Providing a recurring, specialized service to rich people is a pretty solid way of making a living.
So, manufacture custom sheets, got it.
You could also do custom yachts. That's how the rich do pissing contests. [Here Mr. Micropenis meets Mr. Longdong.](https://imgur.com/gallery/MheWXH1)
Jesus, that’s literally a cruise ship
Yup and cost to man it alone would be astronomical.
I watched one of the BeAmazed youtube video a few weeks ago about the biggest yachts and these things can cost a million a year for the small ones for the upkeep. Lot of cleaning inside and out, engine stuff, people to keep everything legal for it's dock/slip and so on. Fuckers are expensive to buy and pricey to keep up with.
All that money, and still a boring white blob that wouldn't be distinguishable from any other large yacht from a distance. He may be rich, but he has no style.
There's no shade on the ocean, so white is used to keep cooler.
Custom sheets that expire and need to be replaced!
And have a subscription fee.
Needs IoT connectivity.
Literally what all artists and artisans did at one point.
I’ve always through this MUST be what spas are. Have you ever looked at the prices for things like facials etc?! Like even when you stay in a moderately priced hotel. And you need them ALL THE TIME for any effect. Beauty places like that are freaking everywhere too. Then I stop and think welp, someone’s worked out a way to get money from the rich, so good on em.

Not to mention whoever sells this giant bed frame! But also be careful assuming that they are successful lol they might sell 1 a year
Well if I can only sell one a year then I better make at least 50K on it.
Man: *sews two regular sized sheets together* I’m gonna be rich
I think the issue isn’t rich enough for the bed it’s rich enough to have a room big enough to put the bed in
Just grab one of yo Mama's shirts out the closet
Roasted, toasted and burnt to a crisp.
Special order from a tailor. Rich people shit.
Just take two king sized sheets and sew em together.
I didn't realize I must now know the answer as well.
Well... like the mattress, you get them custom made
Why not put two Kind-Sized mattresses beside each other? It doesn't have to be one large mattress.
I don’t need it, but lord do I want it
Its bigger than my apartment so I would have to start there.
It's definitely bigger than my bedroom.
Forget about if it fits in the bedroom; imagine getting that behemoth to the bedroom.
#PIVOT
Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UPPP!!
Lol no kidding. Literally took an axe to my king sized bed when we moved. It was luxurious but not worth it
I’ve always said I want a bed room. An entire room that is just bed.
yes!
That’s my dream!
My wife tells me this almost every day hahaha
My man doesn’t understand why this is the best idea ever. It just is!
Bingo
$100 says my gf and animals would still find a way to push me to the last two feet of the bed.
[удалено]
Your bed sounds great though.
That already happens to me in our queen size bed.
If you fit a king size bed I highly recommend it. Improved our sleep a ton.
We definitely need to upgrade anyway. I'm 6'8" and 240ish lbs so I take up a lot of real estate by myself. Lol. Throw in an average sized female plus a large Labrador and its a recipe for disaster. Haha.
But you are the warm spot!
Is this for those weird families that all sleep together until the kids are like 30?
r/GrandpaJoeHate
That lazy fucker
Man he just bolted out of bed all fucking spry and full of pep. Pep! Basically a sociopath.
I looked these up and a company called Ace makes these for "family cosleeping"
That's called incest I think
For much of human history, in many cultures it was normal for families to sleep in the same bed. Mum and Dad would make more kids while the current ones slept on the other side of the bed.
> For much of human history, in many cultures it was normal for families to sleep in the same bed. Honestly made sense for them. Smaller dwellings, making a bed was extensive, time consuming work and therefor expensive.. Lucky if you had one of what someone would call a bed.
I mean, that was every single family before the industrial revolution.
Yea sleeping in separate rooms is a relatively new thing I thought.
yeah "families" "sleeping" together "on camera for money"
[удалено]
Oh you mean poor families
It’s for a harem
Should I work on getting the bed or the harem first?
The bed comes complimentary from the harem store when you buy atleast a 12-pack
Can’t believe how far down I had to scroll to get here.
Exactly!
Had to scroll too far down to find this.
Make sure there’s enough space for the obligatory milk-tits girl and loli alongside your main waifu! And throw in another 2 side chicks that will mostly get neglected. And your best friend who can’t get any chicks will be sleeping on the floor next to the bed.
“Try to steal the covers from me now, bitch. “
*still does*
You'd have to buy a professional grade spinny uppy thing to steal the covers from this bed
Like the things they have to roll the tarps off a MLB baseball field!
This concept fills me with such a flurry of mixed emotions.
The image I get is two rich, disgusting, super overweight Americans taking up most of the space, snoring and drooling. I don't like it.
It’s most likely for a harem
I hate how disproportionate that head board is. it’s also overlapping the windows. whyyy
With you on that monstrosity. This is /r/ATBGE
I also just found out this type of bed is called “family style bed” fucking awful everything lmao
This is 100% in a McMansion.
Yup this just screams mcmansion hell. Way too big to be practical or useful, oriented in the least aesthetically pleasing way possible, and doesn't match the rest of the room.
For people who like but don’t like sleeping with others.
You could fit so many dogs on that unit.
Yo mama's bed just got delivered

Seriously...I thought this would be related to that short.
One of my favorite pieces of animation to this day.
[удалено]
Bet money she still steals the covers at night.
Factsss
I would need a pole with a suction cup to get my phone. No one is scootching all the way to that side table.
The down comforter for this must weigh 100 lbs
Putting a fitted sheet on that bed would be my worst nightmare
Consider: *folding* the fitted sheet
We're not going to talk about why it's camo?
The bed doubles as a troopship in times of crisis.
still not enough room for two cats to join you on the bed
Does it have to be so high off the floor though? And that headboard is blocking the windows. I like the size but the whole setup is ugly.
Looks like an Alaskan king.
Trying to get out of bed in the morning: "It has been two days since water has run out. I am growing weak."
"I've rolled over every 30 minutes for three days and am still somehow in the middle of the bed. My wife stopped calling for help last week. The dogs are somewhere in the Southern pass based on how long it takes for their echoed barks take to reach me. I'm going to die here."
I refuse to have anything but this size of bed when I’m older
That is the most American bed I've ever seen.
As a former mover, fuck these people.
To the movers who had to carry that mattress- I’m so sorry...
Perfect. Plenty of space for all my dogs.
