My Coping Skill (Have my wife kick me off the bed)

When I get depressed, it is hard for me to get out of bed. I feel like my sleep was really deep sleep, and my body kind of feels tired from sleeping too deeply. One thing that I learnt through counseling is that whenever it feels difficult to wake up, I have to force myself to get up. My wife really understand my depression and sometimes she kicks me off the bed when I am having a hard time getting up. It's more like pushing off nicely with her feet. And having that extra push really helps me. I get pushed off the bed, and I have no choice but to stand up. And if I am standing up, I can usually go take a shower or find something to eat to energize my body.

I had many good days that started out from a kick from my wife in the morning. Sometimes that extra push is really helpful.

Isn't it wonderful to have someone who knows you so well and knows what you need.

She sounds awesome.
