The two things that have helped me most with getting out of bed were getting smart bulbs for my room and avoiding algorithmic/infinite scroll stuff on my phone in the morning. I know, I know, IoT stuff sucks (I have mine blocked from the internet, and if you're comfortable fiddling with self-hosted stuff you can avoid that stuff entirely), but having those lights come on gradually in the morning has meant that I both wake up easier (i.e. not super groggy out of a deep sleep) and then stay up because the lights are on full blast when my alarm goes off. The algorithmic thing is also important. The best thing is honestly just to not look at your phone and jump out of bed immediately (sometimes I will literally count down from 10 and then launch myself), but I've found that if I just check my YouTube sub feed and watch a quick video or two, it doesn't get me locked into bed in the same way that scrolling through Twitter or even Hexbear does. There's a finite amount of content, and I will never intentionally start watching a 1 hour video before I get out of bed whereas I might unthinkingly start scrolling through a feed and lose an hour in the blink of an eye.

Of course, you may face different obstacles that make these less viable or relevant, but those two things have made a huge difference for me, so I thought I'd share.

I 100% relate to this! It's so frustrating...when you're doing okay, you both intellectually and emotionally understand that doing some of these more unpleasant or challenging tasks will make you feel better afterwards. But when you're feeling down, your brain tricks you into thinking that you're just tooooo depressed to do anything, which can lead to things piling up, resulting in a vicious cycle of anxiety inducement. And yet, if you can ignore that voice and just start doing something, anything, it can really help to pull you out of that rut, and as you say, even if it doesn't, you'll at least feel better than if you were rotting in bed.
