My biggest problem is on weekends. I sleep until about 7am, I get up, eat breakfast and read a little bit, and go back to bed around 9am. I wake up at 11 or 12, and lay around somemore. After sitting on the couch for the next several hours, I go to bed at 9PM. This is my Saturday and Sunday. I KNOW I'm avoiding things. I also know that if I got some exercise I would have more energy. I've tested the theory and it really works. Laying around just makes me more tired. The problem is its a visious cycle, I'm too tired to exercise so I lay around, I lay around because I'm so tired.
This is just my situation, I don't know if it'll help you any.
You should definitely consider seeing a therapist. I know that's what I need to do, go back to seeing one. Its different from going to a psychologist (at least in my experience.) I can't recommend it enough.
I only stopped because I lost my job. Insurance didn't pay for the last few appointments, so I owe her money. But my psychologist gave me the name of some T's right by my house that will work on a sliding scale basis. Its just a matter of me not procrastinating anymore and making the appointment. There's something about when I walk into my place I suddenly don't want to do anything, and I forget things I'm supposed to do. Its like I enter the 'I refuse to do anything or think of anything stressful world'.
