I am sooo far behind at work, and I feel hopeless

[DSCH]

I have a lot of trouble with long-term goals, especially at work. I am years behind in certain important documentation, and I tend to get flustered when I try to make progress. Today I am working on a plan to catch up, but while assessing how big the backlog is, I am finding reports that I had marked as complete that are not in the system. This is the sort of thing that paralyzes me. I find all sorts of ways to procrastinate. It feels hopeless. I know about breaking large goals into short ones, but that is not working right now, because the short ones seem to be making the large ones worse!

My immediate question is, without formally becoming a client of a mental health worker, whether I can talk to someone about this, hopefully an ADD therapist but it could just be someone else who has gone through similar problems and found solutions.

Hello, DSCH~

Welcome to the group! You're talking about a problem that I face as well.

An ADHD Coach might be a good option for you- here's a directory from ADDitude Magazine, (which is a great resource in itself)
