[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm the one who wrote the post at 6:18 and I have symptoms like yours.  I don't have and never have sought a diagnosis, but I do recognize when I'm getting overwhelmed and I try to whittle down my obligations to what truly matters and can handle.  Again, easier said than done.  My guess is that it's a combination of things - attention and executive function issues, coupled with anxiety that "not getting it done" brings on.  The fear/shame that you will let people down and they will think less of you; that you will think less of yourself.  It can be debilitating.  The thing that works for me is just getting over the anxiety and start doing some of this stuff I'm spinning my wheels worrying about.  The end product might not be a masterpiece, but it is far, far better then paralyzing yourself into doing nothing (or not much).  Professional intervention might be a good idea, but at the end of the day we have to figure out for ourselves what to prioritize and how to get things done.  One step at a time...[/quote]
