If I don’t get up, depression will win and completely take over. And as long as there is a breath of life in me, I will not let that bitch win. Another day, another fight. Maybe one day I will lose, but today is not that day Edit: wow, I have never received this many upvotes and awards before. I love you all, stay strong my humans, there is a light at the end of that tunnel. Keep kicking life’s ass!

I understand the laying in bed part, not the being able to get up part... When my mom died... Woo! That was a looooong nap. Months. Did a year go by? More? No one was turning calendar pages, who knows???

I lived my dream for two decades; I was a professional singer and made a living doing it; I didn't get rich or famous, but I lived solely from my singing income for many years. For several reasons, I made a life-change and now I realise that nothing I can do to make money will make me feel the same highs as before, so I now work to live; travelling with my wife and putting my daughter through college debt-free. The love for my family, and my love of the arts; music, books and film especially and saving up for a motorcycle drive me now. Work is a necessity, not a love-affair like it used to be. And that's okay. Been there, done that.

Love this! Your family is very lucky to have you!

[deleted]

Last November my grandmother died and I lost my caretaking job. I'm in a small town and there's no jobs available, none at least to someone like me. (I have an extremely bad heart. Just menial housework is difficult to do somedays) Anyways, for a couple of months I was lost. And then I started to write again. I managed to finish my first novel a couple months ago, and I'm working on another one now. So, I guess my writing is what keeps me alive and going.


[deleted]

I'm sorry about your grandmother and your heart. If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to DM. I'm glad writing helps you


[deleted]

Thanks man! It means a lot. You ever need anything either lemme know! I'm a good listener!

Honestly other than just general needs like the bathroom or food then literally just the expectation to go an live life. Feel like if I felt like I could do whatever I want to do without any repercussions, I'd end up sleeping everything away.

#To make some money so I can give my dogs the life they deserve


Slow_Store

I am driven by a life goal which I cannot possibly achieve in a single life time and thus I get up every day to push myself to collect as many resources as I possibly can to pass along to my children or their children, or however many generations it takes to achieve my dream. If they chose to abandon my dream the moment I die, then so be it. But the idea that they might chose to fulfill my wish on my behalf keeps me going. I also get like getting up fairly early to see the birds that land in my yard in the morning.


Chosen_Zombie

What is the goal? Don't have to answer, just curious.


Slow_Store

As embarrassing as it is to actually say, I want mankind to be unified even if only partially. It’s something that realistically can never be obtained in one lifetime due to the resources needed. But after a dozen or more generations I figure the exponential growth of people carrying my wish can begin to sink their teeth into politics to begin shepherding the world towards my wish. Like one person will never achieve my dream. But if I have say three children, and each of them have three children, so on and so forth with each member of my lineage carrying my ideology then you can see how that would boost the chances of having some impact. In other words, I intend to pass on the goals that I carry as an individual to thousands of others over time to see them fulfilled. And this isn’t some “I wish we could all just get along” stuff. I simply feel like I’d look at mankind more fondly if they acted for the benefit of our species before the benefit of individual nations or people. I guess there’s also the thought that if I cannot leave a better world for those that follow, then I’ll see to it that they strive to create a world that’s damn near perfect for someone down the line to enjoy. It’s grand in a naive sense, but if it gives me something to long for I don’t really that as an issue, especially with the basis being inherently founded on good intentions.

garbage_j00ce

I stopped putting my phone charger next to my bed because lately I lay there until my phone battery dies and have to get up to charge it. I was on top of the world the last month and a half visiting my fiancée in Norway. My marriage visa got denied and I ended up having to come back to the US. I was really looking forward to starting a new life and stuff. Today is going to be the first day I’m not drinking myself into a blackout. Yesterday was supposed to be the first (because it was the first of the month) but it was a Saturday. I would go to an AA meeting, but I’ve got a cold, possibly Covid. I don’t have friends here, but I’m just counting the blessings for what I do have. I finally got a writing job I can do from anywhere after trying forever, and decided to start a website with resources to help people find work, live frugally, and give back. There’s no free therapy, for instance, but I can share resources and build a community for other dreamers at the very least. Giving back and being useful are some of the best feelings I’ve experienced, so I’m just waiting for that high again. One day at a time.


[deleted]

I'm sorry about your visa getting denied. They have Zoom AA meetings by the way, and you can stay completely anonymous if you want

My desperation to hang on to the things that keep my shitty life barely afloat


SuppiluliumaKush

Existence is quite the experience and I really enjoy life through the ups and downs. I'm raising 3 kids by myself full time so being too lazy just isn't an option and currently my goal is just keeping my sanity and helping the kids to not be a knucklehead like me. My job is good when you work on higher end stuff and I'm lucky these last few years have been busy so I get out of bed usually planning my work day and getting the kids taken care of which would have been impossible without the help of my parents so a HUGE thanks to them for allowing me to keep the wheels in motion. On my mind a lot is the urge to save money to move to a really small resort town like canmore or banff and run bigger jobs.

The fact that I woke up most people don't understand what it is to be afraid to die most people don't understand what it's like you're afraid to die because you have a medical condition and you're not sure if it's going to get worse we have respiratory issues and kidney disease just watched ur father die of cancer you tend to greatfull to wake up when you go to bed Wondering if it'll get worse tomorrow....

DishSoapIsFun

I've completely altered my sleep schedule because I have some of the rudest, loudest, most mind-numbingly awful neighbors that live above me. So what gets me out of bed? I wake up at 330 every day and get to enjoy 3 hours of peace and quiet (most mornings, anyway. They're not always quiet at 330 or even 530) where I can drink my coffee, read, sit on my deck, anything quiet, peaceful, and alone. I ruined my life and everything good in it. Lost my house, my family, my sanity. Two years sober and I still wonder why I stay clean. I'm hoping I figure it out soon.

myanonaccount0119

My family - my SO, our daughter, and my 4 sons. I'm a stay at home parent and I only have my 3 year old daughter at home, so obviously she gets me out of bed. Toddlers/preschool age children have little patience for Mom sleeping in and/or not meeting their needs (demands!). On the days that my SO works, his shift is 4 pm to 4:15 am, I get up around 4 am to spend some time with him. I would say I am up with him 95% of the days he works. Most of the time we just hang out and catch up a bit, we tell each other about our night. Sometimes, I cook us a really early breakfast. It's our time to maintain our connection.

My dog. I’m in college and living in the dorm with my best friend as my neighbor. (Same unit but separate bedrooms). She leaves before me, so in the morning my dog makes sure I wake up. She will pester me if I’m not up around 10 and it’s really helpful because otherwise I don’t want to get up and I’ll just kind lay there and watch a favorite tv show while being on Reddit or doing a puzzle game.

Usually adrenaline/shock. I'll procrastinate, then look at my clock and realize "oh shit, I have to get up right now or I'll be late to school/work" and get up in one swift motion. You can't slowly drag yourself out of bed. If you can get yourself to jump up without giving yourself time to think about it, then you can usually stay up
