I'm struggling to figure out what's going on with me at the moment. I've had a really terrible year - I lost my mother in January and I really haven't dealt with it, I literally can't think about it, it's like shutters come crashing down if I even try. I'm even fuzzy about when I received the news of her death. Compounding that, my wife got pregnant late in 2015 (It was actually the last thing I told my mother before she went into her coma). We live in the Caribbean and around Feb my wife came up in a rash that looked a lot like a Zika rash. We had it checked and it came back as all-clear, but a month later they called and said that it had been Zika after all. We had 5 months of unrelenting worry but luckily the baby seem ok, although the disease is so unstudied our doctor says the long-term effects or the likelihood of problems emerging later are unknown. I've been on and off SSRIs for years, around July I started back on Lexapro as my depression symptoms started coming back. My mood has stabilised, but I'm now faced with almost debilitating procrastination problems. Could I be experiencing some form of PTSD that's manifesting in this procrastination? I've always been somewhat like this, but it's beyond normal now. Even registering for this site took an effort, it's that bad. Any advice or opinions is much appreciated.

I can only suggest you talk to your doctor. Anything that effects your daily routine, life in general, is worthy of bringing up at your doctors office.
