Procrastination, kind of desperate

[europe83]

Tldr: Major problem with procrastinating, growing really desperate, any suggestions?

Hello, I have been (sort of) diagnosed with adhd a few years back and taking ritalin (20mg retard - is that the correct way to say it in English? It's released over a longer period of time) but it's really affecting me right now. At least, I think, I'm pretty sure it's the adhd (or maybe rather add in my case).

I need to work on a project from home and for the life of me I just can't get myself to start! I am really growing desperate because of it. I know I could do it, if it I just started, I know exactly what to do, but I just can't get to work. I could get into really serious trouble if I don't start soon! I feel really blocked. I've done practically zero work the last five days. I tried contacting therapists where I live, but no appointments until next week, by which time it really might be too late. Any thoughts or suggestions? I would really appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Focusmate is a great site for accountability. I don't use it all the time but it helps me when really stu k...I also tried setting a timer for 5 minutes of work, 5 minutes of rest....you can do anything for 5 minutes....and starting is hardest

Thank you so much! I just had my first session on focusmate and I just had 50 productive minutes after 4 or 5 days of procrastinating. It is really appreciated.
