Thanks guys. This new strategy has really worked for me. By not focusing on my responsibilities and not trying to motivate myself to do them all, I actually reduced my anxiety, stress, and avoided the incipient depression that crops up when I have to do things. This resulted in my being MORE responsible yesterday than I've been in the last month at least. Proof of theory, it works! It's very simple, if you are reasonably disciplined then the only thing holding you back is your emotional state. So instead of trying to fight through it, which only makes it worse and cripples you, work on avoiding those emotional states and getting out of them when they pop up. Right now I am dealing with fluctuating feelings so by not adding to my base-line negative feelings there are actually large periods of time during the day where I feel good enough to take care of things.
