One if the things that is a HUGE pet peeve of having depression and anxiety for me is PROCRASTINATION…..I always tell myself it’s OK to put it off….tomorrow is another day. But when I do all I am essentially doing is creating loads more anxiety because NO FAIL I put the PRO in PROcrastination!!! No matter how much time of deadlines or adhering to a time schedule I am ALWAYS LATE….OR ALWAYS DOING THINGS LAST MINUTE. This creates more angst and frustration as well as anxiety which then depresses me because I end up beating myself up because I had every intention of NOT WAITING TIL THE ABSOLUTE LAST MINUTE….BUT NEVER FAILS somehow I find myself there every time???? It’s awful…not to mention always being at a constant battle with yourself when depression wants you down and anxiety wants you to get shit done…it keeps you at odds with yourself constantly. Working to try and convince myself of the same thing…”who is it bothering that the house isn’t spotless, dishes aren’t done, laundry isn’t folded, etc!?” I have to remind myself who it really bothering that my house looks messy….etc….I yearn for control so badly that it triggers some or all of the above mentioned and a lot coincide together.
