I am just exhausted.

II don't know why am I writing this. Just checking in with the community or something like that. I have anxiety-related procrastination. Seriously, I freak out even when I am thinking about cooking. Feel pressure right now. I have to work. I am still live with my parent, so I don't have to worry about eviction or food, but I have something that I wish I can work on, and I have to procrastinate on it, and because of that I once again have anxiety, which leads to procrastion, well you know how it works. I also had severe mood changes last days. I feel broke.

P.S. English is my second language so go easy on me.

Your English is just fine!

May I suggest that you either talk out loud or write down the steps you need to do to get to that ‘thing’ you want.

We have a joke. The annual procrastinators club meeting has been rescheduled until further notice. A good giggle can take your mind out of the anxiety state.

You describe my husband perfectly. We wrote things down and he held the paper.

Now he does something he *can* do easily and while he’s up and moving he switches to the thing that needs to be done. Rarely do we write it out anymore but sometimes I hear him talking out his steps/anxiety.

Just one coping technique you might try. Music is another.

Best of luck. I think you can do this.

Yes, music helps, but sometimes it seems like nothing that I do is enough. I have to do some tasks every day, at one particular time and

I can't even start this, because I am not sure I can do this tomorrow and another day and so on. Feels like such a big commitment and I feel like I can't start if I will not be sure that I will not drop it. Anyway, thanks for your advice. I can not answer right away for messages, so any of my answers will be with a delay. Thanks again.
