I’ve been attempting to track this for myself. I notice if I lounge in bed too much, maybe about 15 min or longer, my capacity to transition from my bed to any activity dramatically decreases. I can stay in bed dissociating on media for hours. If I don’t have to go to work.

However upon waking up, I’m physically tired and sometimes overwhelmed with grief, it’s challenging to leave the bed. I don’t recall many of my dreams and some dreams I do remember and often leave me with a longing/ missing feeling, feels like grief in my chest or I remember dreams that were scary.

Do folks experience this, how are people getting out of bed?

Things I’ve tried- immediately forcing myself out of bed, lovingly talking to my inner kids and reminding them if they feel scared, that our apartment is a safe place and reminding them we will have a yummy breakfast (my inner kids get anxious we won’t have bfast which was a common occurance in my youth) and I’ve tried slowly warming up my body, wiggling my toes, feet, legs etc.
