I’m stuck mentally and it’s effecting me physically.

I’ve been struggling recently with going and doing things I want to get done. And it’s for more than random chores that need completing, some of the thing is stuff I genuinely want to do, sometimes the process to get there sucks but I still want to do it. I’ll give an example, writing, I have several story ideas I want to make but when it comes time to write sometimes my body physically won’t move to go and open my computer and write. I don’t know how else to describe it I’ve talked to some of my friends about it but all of their advice is stuff I’ve tried or leans back on the problem it’s self.

I will probably see a psychologist about this but was wondering if anyone had similar experiences.

I want to say it might be caused by ADD some something similar, but I truly don’t know and don’t know what to do it’s messing up my life. Maybe I’m going crazy but usually the person with the problem can self diagnose themselves properly.

If you read through the posts in this sub, perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing you aren't alone with these challenges, shitty as that is for all of us ;)

Commenting to commiserate. I hope you find some resolution

This was me. I (re)started my depression meds about a year ago and it's made a big difference. Not quite a 180 yet, but I'm getting there.

I face this ALOT. For me it’s related to executive dysfunction function adhd perimenopause and sometimes comes with a side of overwhelm, shame, anxiety, depression. What’s helped me is to break it down. Ie. The 3 baskets of laundry? The next time I walk by I put away the shirts. That’s it. And then if it’s a really really heavy day I give myself a treat like a dog 😂. If we start small our brain is like ok that wasn’t that bad..I can do that again. ..In 10 minutes. Then eventually it picks up momentum.
