OCD and procrastination
How do you deal with procrastination? My procrastination has gotten so bad and idk what to do
I have both ADHD and OCD, and procrastination is something I struggle with. Is there a reason why you procrastinate?
I’m way too scared that if i put actual effort and if in the end its actually bad, it’ll reflect that i have failed as an artist. It’s like i know what to exactly to do and how to be better, but i cant even bring myself to hold a pencil or my laptop without being physically in pain or mentally screaming. i have so much shame and guilt inside of me that i can’t talk myself out of it anymore. I personally struggle with depression as well. If you have tips on how you face procrastination please do share, i’ve done everything i could however it has not work for long, I feel like i’m alone on this

You are not alone. And I feel the same way you feel with the shame and guilt. Sometimes that can cloud our brains. I’m personally struggling the same way you are, just with different things.
OCD is like a bully in our brains. It is trying to make you believe you are a failed artist when you are not. We have to reject that and say ‘maybe I am a failure, maybe I’m not’. And accept the possibility.
I also recommend seeing an OCD specialist who can provide you with therapy. Sometimes also seeing a psychiatrist for medication treatment can also be helpful.
