No, I am not suggesting you ask a medical dr. for help.

All I was suggesting was perhaps, like me, you just have to jump in and do what you don't want to do (not procrastinate) to get started THEN figure out why you have this problem.

We all develop unhealthy coping mechanisms during times of stress or when we have a problem. For example, when I had my breakdown I would spend 12-15 hours a day pacing around my apartment trying to catch my breath. Obviously that sounds nuts and it is nuts but at the time it seemed like a perfectly good way (in my skewed mind) to deal with it. I learned to cope with my problem but it was in the most unhealthy fashion one could imagine.

You are reading about procrastination which is a coping mechanism (unhealthy) in dealing with it. Clearly there is an reason why that you don't yet know or fully understand. I get that. I simply was suggesting sometimes when things are *that* bad the only way out is to start (very uncomfortable, scary, horrible feeling) THEN tackle the brass tacks of it all.

My problem was emotional/medical and also spun my Lupus out of control. I am not saying you have a medical problem. I am just saying that I get feeling like you just can't do something and not really sure what to do other than think about it or develop an unhealthy way to deal with it.
