So procrastination and anticipatory anhedonia?
A commitment to be optimistic is out of my league.
I feel so much better when I do the things I can, certainly.I'll give you an example...
I have to do this whipper snippering.
I have the whipper snipper.
It stopped working once while I was using it.
So, instead of checking it out, I will buy a new one so I don't have to do that, except that I have put that off too.
The new one will cost most of a thousand dollars.
For *some* reason, the thought of having to work out what is wrong with the machine is terrible.
You tell me why.It's like a complete failure of optimism.
I don't feel that bad about it....I have always been a pessimistic and thoughtful person and am OK with that.
But I would feel so much better if I could still be reflective but not bogged down.
