Try placing things you’ll need throughout the day out of reach from your bed. So if you need to make a phone call, watch TV or use your computer, you will have to leave your bed to do it!

Also try setting an amount of time that you can stay in bed each day and then shorten it as the weeks go on. Don’t just try to stop it all at once as that will surely lead to frustration and might make you want to give up.

If you don’t have a job, it might be time to find one? It’s usually pretty hard to work from your bed. ;)

Good luck!

I think you’re going to need help. Have friends get you up and out of the house, away from the bed!

Take a walk after breakfast. Even if you start out just going to the corner and back. Next day, go one block more. And next day three blocks more.

On the fourth day you might do something just in your own yard, rest if the prior exercise has tired you. But go back to it the next two days, increasing the distance.

Another thing you might want to do is start to care for some plants on the porch, in the box on the window ledge, up on the roof of your apartment building, or in a garden or plot of some sort. Green Guerillas are in some larger cities, and can be reached by web. You can get advice from them.

Get a hobby, or join a club. For example, you might join a knitting circle, or a bowling league, or get out and go play Scrabble, checkers, chess, Monopoly, any number of games. In Memphis’ Midtown, the McDonald’s on Union Ave. near Cooper used to hold Monday night Scrabble games. The one in Hinesville, Liberty County’s Route 196 East has games after school on Tuesdays. I’m not a fan of fast food, but I’ll go there for the o.j. and now the salads.

Read your newspaper for local events, clubs, and other ideas.

I found that the lure of a river, or a cave, can help overcome the inertia. You have to get a little fear factor too: if you continue to be a slug-a-bed, you’ll die sooner. Think about that.

Get involved in a social group. It is the only way. If you are on your own, you can play tricks…

You sound depressed. Get help for that.

Friends, do everything to find and keep them. And yes, as people before me told, involve in some kind of social activity, group, find a job, sign up for some kind of course (language etc.). Considered finding/changing boyfriend?

Here where I live (Bosnia) when you become lazy to go out of bed (or similar) we call our friends out (from bed :D), and then they get us out. Friends usually help.

And hey remember you surely are a great person, worth meeting. You shouldn’t feel less worth than somebody else, we are all equal in Creators eyes. If you want to discuss some topics when you feel the need to here is my MSN koljenovicm [at] hotmail.com

Okay first of all get up!! and out of bed also taking a good shower and then you get all ready and put make up on or w/e u do to make urself pretty, trust me being out or doing things is fun. It’s not good just laying around doing nothing, get up and start being productive in todays busy world!

The more time you spend actually doing something ( even if you don’t want to ) the easier it will be to get out of bed. Sometimes it takes discipline. The biggest thing is to stop talking about wanting to do it or making excuses for putting off actually living your life and start doing something about it.
