I can't decide if I want to post or not...

I don't like complaining too much, because nobody likes that, but my brain won't shut up. I would really like to not adult for awhile, please? I know it's okay to have lazy days and they happen to everyone, but that sentiment isn't actually helpful right now because I have shit I've been putting off that I *need* to do, but I'm having a helluva time actually *doing* anything. And I live alone (which I usually like), so I don't have anyone that can help, either by doing things for/with me or providing a push for me to do them myself.

Seriously, I just need a week where I don't have to be the grown-up and do the hard things. I don't even care if it's someone else doing the tasks for me, or just someone else telling me to do them so I don't have to make any decisions. I just need to not have to do *something*.

Ugh. Just... ugh.

I have zero help and all of the sympathy. *support support*

Thank you for the support and sympathy! Sometimes it helps just knowing someone else understands. :)

Wish I could help! just coming off a week of PTO... spent a lot of it adulting at a relaxed pace. Here's to finding the motivation... good tunes, maybe?

*hugs*

Ooo, time off is very nice. So is being able to adult at a speed of your choosing.

I do tend to overlook music but it does help. So perhaps tomorrow I shall throw on some good music and blitz as much of my list before work as possible (dang overtime).

*hugs*

All my sympathy

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who can't get started on stuff that needs done. Hopefully that's helpful in both directions -- it's about all the help I can offer at this distance.

You are definitely not the only one. It does help to know that it's not just me that has this problem; feels less like it's a failing on my part and more like a thing that just happens sometimes.

I got a few things done today, but I regrettably agreed to overtime, so I have no more time to actually accomplish shit today. Which is unfortunate, because I'm pretty sure I'm at the point where I need to disregard any potential meltdowns and just do the stuff anyway, but I need time to do that in and having to work does not help on that front.

Sounds like you may be having decision exhausttion. It's a suck feeling.
I'd suggest maybe writing a to-do list, broken into tiny chunks. Then do one chunk, take a break for a half hour, maybe set an alarm, give yourself rewards for each chunk.
But we can understand the feeling. We adult constantly and it sucks.

That sounnds like a good idea. I did make a list but I just made a nirmal one, didn't break things down. I'm also not great at remembering to take breaks or give myself rewards. Maybe doing those things will help avoid a meltdown. You have my sympathies for having to adult all the time.
Thanks for the advice Hex :D
