Nee ur feedback

Has anyone experienced not engaging in things and being somewhat paralyzed, and you have all these things you want to do in your head but are very difficult to execute.

If I want to go to the gym I have to think about it A LOT before I end up going. I have always had this problem. I used to think I was lazy then I discovered I have a number of disorders and even though I can understand things better I would like feedback on if you've been through this.

The only thing that works a bit is starting something underwhelming and going form there. Like the breakfast dishes, then on to something else but when it comes to stuff outside my comfort zone, I suck!

Gotcha. I know all about what you are talking about. That has been me, too.

It can be PTSD, but that has more to do with rage directed at people or things. Where anxiety is about being too self concerned about people places or things.

Much of my general anxiety has been dealt with by my ADHD meds. My PTSD is still on going, but can be dealt with by EMDR hypnotherapy, or other techniques.

I would suggest finding a therapist who knows about and can help with ADHD and PTSD. They exist, and I am currently seeing one.

i can pace allll day around the joint, looking at the dishes, thinking about the workout, etc... if your mind goes down a track in one direction it'll project that onto anything that you think of doing and pretty soon nothing excites you positively.

they've told me that i show signs of PTSD, and I do have anxiety & adhd. for me it helps to think of the immediate future (like within the span of a year) and that helps the reward of something like a workout affect me to break that seal and get moving. it's pushing against you and so you push back; but only on one thing, one focused push on one priority. like the gym, school, etc... getting mired in the present, well, that when i start pacing around again and the anxiety builds.

are you able to focus your energy on 1 thing? does your mind constantly throw priorities at you. like if you start doing one thing do you then get anxious that there is that "other thing" that isn't getting done. shortly thereafter you get overwhelmed and overcome with anxiety?

it may help to think of past successes that you've had when paralysis hits. hit the gym with the intent of going in to do 5 sets of all out exertion on one compound movement and then you're outta there. i used to tell myself in my head, every step of the way to the gym, "not going is not an option". over and over and over again. face the paralysis and take it's power away.

the mind can make a 3ft fence seem like a unsurmountable great wall of stone. only one thing, one priority that's there naggin you, focus energy and push through and do just that one thing. that wall gets a little smaller and things seem a little better after that one focused moment on just that one thing. house chores, project at work, gym, cooking, oil change, grocery shopping, bills, etc.... only one thing. not one thing at a time; just do one thing. see how that feels immediately thereafter and reflect on it.
