Sooo Depressed, know any tricks?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know any good tricks to talk yourself out of bed when you've sunk

into a deep depression? It's the whole: It's January in MN and freezing cold. 

The days are too short. 

My sister just had surgery and then blood clots so she has to be watched very

carefully.  My chronic pain, of course, although it has not been out of control

bad.

My miracle dog that I got back after surgery in time for Christmas ended up

getting a huge infection and had to be euthanized on the 28th. 

I do have a history of depression in January but I just do not want to be in bed

until February 15th waiting for the daylight to come around.  Any hints would

help.
