When I'm in a dark place and my skills don't work, I typically force myself to lay in bed and fall asleep. It keeps me from doing anything drastic and harmful to myself. It used to work like a charm. I would wake up feeling like my brain hard reset, and I could go about my day normally until my next intense emotion. 

For the past few months, I've been in a pretty consistent downward spiral with very few occurrences of euphoria. To put it simply, "sleeping it off" is not working, and I end up spending too much time in bed wanting to die. So, those that struggle with intense depressive episodes, do you have any tips or tricks for getting out of bed in the morning?
