Hey there;

procrastination is a lot like depression...anger turned inward. I think the reason you are avoiding one form of work is because you are using all your enegy (unconsciously) trying to supress something that causes/ed you so much more dread. So I'm gonna be thinking it goes back to your parents...lol, the crap gets crazy...like unconsciously avoiding lets say a paper, because the paper is something you dealt with as a kid and you might not even remember...all kinds of recreations like that. If you're gonna take a break anyway, while your playin games, I donno, sit back and think about everything that's going on in your life....you may not even feel angry, maybe you would rationalize that others are going through worse? Well, to that I would venture to say yeah other people may have it much worse blah blah blah, but pain is pain, and if your angry, then you've been hurt...you have a right to vent that. I think until you get what REALLY on your mind out (does not have to be recent, for sure!) then you may struggle with motivation to jump through expectation hoops. You rationalize that you deserve a videogame break because somewhere in your past your parents did not give you that break (from fighting, from schoolwork, from whatever happen in your situation) and so it makes sense that you would still want/deserve that for yourself in current life. Unforchantly, just like your parents screwed you in that scenerio-so will life....if you hold it in it means past due stuff and consequesnces.

That's my theory lol, you need to go on quite a few healthy rants my friend! (Sometimes not fun at all, but it does help in the long run).

Take care,
