Hello, you are not alone. I'm new to the forum. I'm not an expert but I have been diagnosed with PTSD and avoidance is part of what I struggle with. Avoidance is a result of the anxiety I feel. When I don't have to force myself to go to work, I don't even ... can't even get out of bed. I avoid having friends because I don't want people to know the real me; the broken me. So I lie in the dark. I feel safer in my room. I'm exhausted just fixing myself a sandwich, or after something as simple as feeding my cats.

I do this at the office all day! When ever I have a moment to myself, all I can think of is the things that I want to do "as soon as I get home". Some are chores, some are actually fun things to do, like hobbies. Then, when I get home--nothing. I sit down on the couch and just veg till bedtime. Maybe some dinner, but before I know it, it's morning again and time to start over.

I'm guilty of that too!
