give yourself a reason to get up every morning! do something you actively enjoy, whether that be a walk, a good cup of coffee or tea, journaling, drawing, stretching, listening to your favorite song, watching your favorite show, morning chat with a friend, doing your makeup (if you like it) etc!

^^yes! All of this! And don't feel guilty about doing something indulgent or repetitive. For example,, if ur thing is getting a good coffee or eating an "unhealthy' snack it's ok! The goal is to get up and start your day however you can! It doesn't need to be especially creative or anything else

feeling low
I think I’m going through the hardest depression right now. I’ve never felt so compelled to just stop getting up and stop living. I know it’s hard to hear, I just really feel bad. Right now I even feel like an attention seeker. I just wanted to know, are there any tips to raise me from this hole im in? Has anyone else felt like this an pulled themselves out?

OCD in the morning
Each night I go to bed determined to stop compulsions and start beating this disorder. Then I wake up and it smacks me in the face first thing and I’m doing a compulsion before I know it. I told my therapist that I would try to handle it like we do in session, but I’ve already failed. It seems like I can’t bring ERP into my “real” life.
