demotivatedness due to depression and anxiety is so insidious   what sometimes help me tho its a bit of a grasping the last straw kinda thing i daydream its not me doing the dishes its a huge construction bot preparing space ship parts i try to find some little scene i can pull over the situation that has some similarities with what i do while writing the scene improvising stuff based on what i am doing my brain is occupied with generating the story and less capacity goes in to ocd thoughts   there is a different version which i call lightning rodding if i am doing a mental task and need the brainpower taken up by ocding i hold up my right hand and draw random symbols in the air or just do random typing motions it looks weird yeah but no issje when you are alone how it works i think is do you know the strange expressions and twitches anxiety makes you do the moment an intrusive thought comes up and gives me anxiety my mind desperately seeks a physical motion the decreases my anxiety the moment such a thought comes i move my fingers the way my brain feels is necessary its like fidgeting
