Any good reason to get out of bed?

Because if you're going to lay around pitying yourself, life is certainly meaningless. If you get up and keep pushing on, you might find some kind of meaning.

 

I have my reasons. They are mine, not yours. Read your own post, there are plenty of reasons in there to get out of bed. Face things you are avoiding. Talking to your relatives about your addiction was awesome and bold. While your relatives may not understand you there is wisdom in their words (be it wisdom you do not see or wisdom they did not intend). In a way they are correct, don't worry about it. Instead, figure out what you are going to do about your life. Does figuring out what we are going to do in our life mean we are not going to worry? No, we will still worry. At the very least we can take to steps to not be lost in a sea of worry.

By the end of our life we'll have experienced many things and made many choices. All of that stuff will have been our life. I can not say with certainty what my life will be like in thirty years, what I can say is it won't be what I imagine today. There are many things in life we can not change. Focus on the things we can. The course of life will tell us what those things are.

The short of it, make some decisions and see where life goes. Make the decisions to find reasons to get out of bed.

 

I live a fulfilling life. I enjoy most of the things I do throughout the day like weightlifing, playing guitar, skateboarding, cooking, seeing my friends and family, working, studying, reading, yoga, meditating.

Your post goes a bit deeper than this though. At some point you have to stop thinking and just start doing. It doesn't really matter if life is meaningless or you're a hypocrite. You are living, you may as well live the best you can. Stop overthinking shit and just get out of bed and do. Do things that you enjoy and that are good for you.

I dealt with these feelings of meaninglessness my whole life, they resurface very frequently. I just tell myself I am thinking too much. I write down a list of thing that I like doing or things that I want to do or areas of my life that I want to work on and stick it on my wall. If I ever feel bored or start thinking too much I just pick one of the things and do it.

 

Bro half your post is you trying to look for reasons as to why you can't be happy. Why don't you instead look for reasons to be happy. Heres a rebuttal:
-walk at the park or a beach
-make new friends
-work out at home or a park
-get your car fixed or get public transport
-sit in a quiet desert instead
-make friends with people with pets or pet someones dog you see on the street
-do it as much as you can

Being happy is a choice. I can only speak of my experience with being depressed but I didn't think I deserved to be happy. Maybe you also think the same way. Once you start to see yourself as someone who deserves to be happy it becomes a lot easier.

 

BRO i have been struggling with the exact same thing! i am depressed --> want to avoid life so sleep all day --> hate myself for it --> vicious cycle. i am suffering from my out of control selfish sex drive that makes me feel worse, my work efficiency is the lowest it ever has been. all this leads to no willpower to get out of bed in the morning, but the solution is to turn to something other than willpower

The other day i downloaded an alarm clock called Alarmy, and have been able to instantly get out of bed at 5:30 am three days in a row so far. You can choose a very loud alarm tone, and choose a task to perform to be able to turn the alarm off in the morning. I set it up so i have to walk to the kitchen and scan the barcode on a jar of instant coffee in order to stop the alarm, no snoozing, just an instant start to the day. Set it up when you are feeling more rational before bed, then your sluggish morning self has no choice to make. It's only been three days but i cannot recommend this app highly enough. motivation is a unicorn, but there are ways to improve depression that are purely practical. the physical and mental health benefits of getting out of bed at the same time of the morning every day are very well documented also.

 

If you can afford it it would definitely be helpful

 

When I notice I don't want to get up, and I have the day off, i.e. nothing planned, I like to put away my phone and whatever objects can busy my mind around my bed. Eventually I get bored and my mind finds something to do. Usually I feel compelled enough to do it, but if not, then fuck it I'll just stay down. My mind will keep coming up with shit, and eventually there's something I will want to do.

My point is, maybe you shouldn't think logically about this. Instead, remove stimulus and listen to your body instead.

 

you'll spend hell good time there after death. so better spend this time in exploring, learning and meeting new people..

 

Not trying to set you up for another addiction or anything - but coffee. And if what you're drinking now is not enough to get you out of bed, you need better coffee. Also, there's this cereal here - it's cruncy on the outside, nougat on the inside. It's my guilty pleasure, costs a fortune, and it gets me out of bed the moment I think about it.

As for meditation - since you asked - it helps by bringing you out of the thinking mind and into the present moment, where thoughts, sensations, and emotions come, but (unlike when one is stuck in the mind) also go. If you're interested in getting started with meditation I'd recommend Headspace (lots of cute animations and very well laid out for a newbie - also, no hindu mantras, which have a way of scaring off some potential newcomers), or Alan Watts Teaches Meditation.

Good luck!
