Sorry for another post, but I've got a lot that I want to talk about and I thought it would be easier breaking it up into smaller posts than one huge one.
I feel like I am stuck in a bubble, cut off from the rest of the world. I get so caught up in all my thoughts I become distant. I spent the whole day just thinking about what I am doing, and what I am doing wrong with my life. I never did anything with the day, it was over before I realized. This is happening with my entire life. I think about everything but never do anything. I always tell myself that things will get better and I will wait for the time to come, but it never gets better. The only time I ever act is when the deadline is closing in. I always rush at the end to do things. The problem with this, there is no deadline to make friends or ask a girl out. So I never do it. I always push it off for tomorrow. All of this overthinking and negative thinking just drains me. I wake up tired and just drag my feet through the day. It kinda feels like after you had a good cry and you’re physically and emotionally tired. I feel like that all day. Everything seems so hopeless and pointless. I don’t enjoy anything that I do. I always find something I did wrong, or could have done better. I just want to have fun and not worry about everything. |

So would it be accurate then to say that you procrastinate doing everything even the fun things?
What helps me is to make a list of short term goals, a list of long term goals and a daily to do list.

It sounds like symptoms of depression to me. Obsessive thinking, self-criticism, lack of energy and motivation, detachment from the world. Are you in therapy or considering a psychiatric evaluation? It would be good to talk to a professional.

I guess you could call it procrastination, I just have zero motivation and drive to do anything, even something as little as take a shower. (dont worry I still get around to it eventually)
I don't have a shrink, but I do want to talk to my doctor about this, but I'm not sure if I will be able to do it. And the thing about these symptoms, is that I have been dealing with them nearly all my life. Recently they have been a little more hardcore ( for example my sleeping pattern has changed), but even when I was in 6th grade I can remember these feelings. For a long time I just thought that this was who I am, but one year I came out of it and I realized how horrible my life had been. Now I am trying to put the pieces back together and be happy again. |

I often feel I am being dragged through life rather than dragging my feet through life.
One of my biggest enemies in life has my lack of drive. |

i agree. think it's classic clinical depression, imho. i'd definitely bring this up with your doc to get a referral to see a therapist. the T can make a professional diagnosis, examining your symptoms. i'd print out from here what you posted twice. it will help you when you see your doc.

Not loving deadlines is part of some people's personalities. Some people just like making extra sure before they make a final choice
