Advice on getting things done? #ChronicDepression #Anxiety #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #Depression #tired
Anyone else have problems getting things done around the house? I have time, I’m feeling ok today, weather is good, but when I try to start something, I have overwhelming anxiety, dizziness, tiredness, shortness of breath, etc. Then I feel like I have to lay down for awhile. It’s stuff I want to do (like garden) but also with stuff that needs to get done to have a successful work week (like laundry).
And then I think- am I trying to do too much? I have no concept of what’s normal activity. I went out this morning, ran errands, and got my hair cut. I played with the dog for awhile. Would normal people be tired after that?
I just know my house is a wreck and never gets any better. I managed to put some fly paper up, clean the litter box, and go through old papers yesterday. Also, I cleaned the dog poop from the yard and weed whacked yesterday.
I just don’t know… I’m seeing a sleep specialist soon. Like maybe I have something physically wrong? Or maybe anxiety and depression and obsessive thoughts make me tired? I just want to be normal. Not even normal- I want my house to be in a condition where I can invite people over! Just the basics. BTW- I live alone with a dog and 2 cats, so no family to clean up after. I’m a 39 year old woman. I do work full time. Anyway, can anyone shed light on what’s going on or have anything to help? Thanks
