this is one of the most frustrating things i recently finally sat down to do something and it was much easier than i expected i look back at how many times i put it off then was wallowing in self pity because i hadnt done the thing yet it was a real eye opener i try to prioritize by doing the easiest or presumed easiest tasks first and then save the rest but sometimes i dont get to the more overwhelming stuff and the cycle just continues i know i have so much potential so it kills me sometimes  my best friend is the only person who gives me the kick in the ass i need but only because they tell me how talented i am while at the same time roasting me about how much i dont do somehow the mix of the two helps motivate me to do shit  what you said about being a mind prisoner describes it perfectly i sometimes get the paralysis when im too overwhelmed and then the fatigue kicks in its so hard to break out of that when that happens ill go for a walk or to a park or something to pull me out of my head
