Don't Know What's Going On With Me?!

How about, start making the list, and if you start to get that panicky feeling... stop. How does tha...

I did it! Well, it's not totally done but I write down all the basic tasks and then sent it to 2 siblings, asking them to help me break it down into smaller goals.

You did awesome! I'm so glad you were able to get your list made AND contact your therapist, and I think asking for help breaking the list down is a great idea. Knowing when to ask for help and what kind of help to ask for is a great coping skill.

Shaking is okay. Let yourself shake as much as you need to. I might take that as a sign that you've done enough for a while, though.

What helps me sometimes is the right kind of music in my mp3 player and picking ONE task and just doing it (music helps organize me...it's like a distraction from my thoughts but it also helps me move). Or sometimes I set an alarm for 10-15 minutes and just do anything...whatever I see around me that needs doing...and just do stuff for 10-15 minutes. The alarm helps give me structure. When it beeps I do whatever I want again, distractions etc. Sometimes I actually get caught up in taking care of things (cleaning the kitchen, whatever) and just finish, even if the alarm goes off. But just getting started is the hard part.

Yes, this exactly.
