Not sure if this is anxiety, depression, reverse ADHD but need some guidance from you guys.
As background I’m male in my 30s and I have a few stresses in my life, big mortgage, young child, another on the way, not performing well at work and worrying about my finances.
My question is, does anyone have a crippling inability to do anything without it being at the absolute last minute? At work, at home and in your social life? I know I need to do something, I know what is required, I know that it’s not that hard but I just can’t do it. I’ll have a simple phone call to make at work, but I’ll do anything to avoid it and put it off. I’ll defer everything to “tomorrow” and eventually say to myself it’s too late now I just won’t bother.
All I do all day is cycle through facebook, news.com, other sites, check my phone etc. I do anything but do what is required of me. Is this depression? Anxiety etc? I don’t feel sad though, just worn out.
Its really affecting my work, as my job is a professional sales based role. All the things I should be doing to improve I just don’t do. Not performing well stresses me, but I just don’t do the things I know I need to do to improve, which would reduce my stress... I need my job to pay my bills, the potential to lose my job also stresses me lol... I would go to a doctor about this but I’ll put that off too.
