Anyone have tips from getting out of a depressed, alcoholic funk?

I have to do this every so often, so I know logically what I need to do - make a plan of action, set a routine, get some exercise - but this time, for some reason, every time I resolve to do these things which I KNOW will help, there's almost a physical inability to do so. Just idk, a mental block that makes it almost impossible. Then we get into a cycle of self-loathing because WHY NOT HAVE MORE WILLPOWER DAMN YOU to 'well, if I'm a waste of space anyway...' to blahblahblah.

SO. Any possibly unusual words of advice to force me to get out of damn bed and sort my shit out instead of lounging here drinking cheap cider by the bucketful? I'm not even miserable-depressed, just... unmotivated-depressed.

I get like that occasionally (well, not the alcohol, but the "fuck, I should have gotten up and gotten shit done hours ago", or worse "fuck, I should have gone to work hours ago" and still being unable to do a damned thing.)

What's helped me, now that I've realized it, is to a) give myself permission to do fuck all for another hour, but then b) do something small. Like take a shower. Or go get the mail. The "permission" is important, because then the spiral of "oh, fuck, I should do something already. But I can't. But I should." goes away, at least a bit. So then that hour later I find it a lot easier to at least make it to the shower/mailbox/whatever. And once I'm up and at least semi-productive, it gets a lot easier to keep going.

I hope that helps! You can do it!
