Hey Scott,
Like many of the previous posters, your symptoms sound a lot like mine. I could win a gold medal for procrastination. Right now I am about 12 months behind in the bookkeeping for my business. I keep putting it off, because I know that once I start I won't be able to stop. I too find that I just can't pace myself. The whole process of straightening out my desk, organizing the bank statements, etc., etc., just overwhelms me so I put it off again. Every week I decide to start on the following Monday, and when Monday rolls around I find an excuse to stay home. Here it is Wednesday and I have been telling myself everyday that I will go to work today and get things done. Ha! We'll see....
My brain is full of thoughts all day, mostly unimportant trivia. I even wake up in the middle of the night, and my brain is still running 100 mph. To fall back to sleep, I have to come downstairs and watch CNN till I fall asleep on the couch. For some reason if I listen to the non-stop dialogue, my brain is distracted and I can relax.My favorite thing is to take a nap every day (while listening to CNN). This is also my downfall. I goof off on the computer all morning, take my nap, and when I wake up the day is gone w/ nothing accomplished.
I love my med cocktail - celexa, desipramine, adderal, and trazodone. I feel better physically, my migraines are reduced to 2 or 3 per month, I not only get up each day but I get dressed in real clothes (instead of sweats) and put on makeup. The next step is to take care of business. I guess that too will come...
Anyway, you are not alone. We are in pretty good company.
Blessings and luck to you,
Carly
