Ohhh, you are not alone!

I have extreme difficulty in getting anything done (laundry, paying bills, going through mail, making phone calls, showering, leaving the house when it's not for work, etc., etc., etc.). Just to go through mail, once it's really piled up, I'll sometimes ask help from a friend: we Face Time and I go through it with her. I can talk about what I'm opening at the time, ask for help if I don't understand something, complain if it's something troublesome. It helps a lot, but I can't always be doing that.

For me, I think it might be anxiety. When I even THINK of having to get anything done, a well of anxiety creeps up on me, until I feel utterly paralyzed. I know I'll feel better if I just do these things, but I don't. And then I feel terrible about myself and feel down. And round and round it goes. I wish I had some good advice. I wish I knew what was going on with me. This has been going on for a couple of years now, but it's getting worse. I wish there were a magic pill, something that could help, but I don't see anything on the horizon. Maybe therapy would help, but right now I can't afford it and I would likely have to miss some work.

Good luck. I think I really know what you're going through!
