One of the best pieces of advice I got was from a DBSA meeting. They said, sometimes you're just going to have a bad day. You're going to wake up and think, "fuck." And you're not going to want to get out of bed. In fact, even having opened your eyes seems like it was a bad idea.
In that case, don't fight it. Say, this is a bad day. I'm not doing shit. And let it be. Know that it's a bad day, and you can't do anything about it but accept it. That way, anything you accomplish is going to be a bloody miracle. You can use any coping skill you want, but having said, this day sucks, somehow makes it seem a bit more manageable.
