I worked for years at a great job where I had no problem tackling problems and work...but it seems like since I've been back taking care of mom I feel overwhelmed and can't seem to get going on projects...seems like everything is overwhelming.
I have always worked best under pressure, ie., (papers finished the night before in college, , I have a strong work ethic, ) but this is nuts. Things in my personal life are left undone...I have 25 boxes of clothes to sort thru, boxes of pictures to arrange, etc...if it HAS to be done for some reason (bills paid on time) I can manage it, but larger projects have gone undone for months...and it's certainly like I don't have the time.
I think I read this was a symptom of some disorder...maybe it's just part of the isolation depression. It's kind of like feeling so overwhelmed that I can't start in on a project. If I can't get it all done NOW, I don't even start. I'm kind of rambling but I have to figure out a way to get past this. Google "how to motivate" I guess.
Thanks for listening. Any ideas would be appreciated.
