I think what Give Love said is very helpful and hopefully is for your situation.

My personality is the hero type. I live (working on making that lived) for my work and professional life. I am very good at planning for financial things far in the future and I have so many lists about different aspects of my life that many times they are on every paper. These are the very things that I am working on right now, so I don't know how much advice that I have to give. All I can say is that so far by understanding where my problems stem from, talking about it, seeking help, is helping me to make progress. Obviously you have been seeking help and are coming to realize how it effects your life and I do believe that you are taking the first steps in solving those aspects.

However, my follow through for personal and self-rewarding experiences, are very few. I love reading and it is something that I'm passionate about. More than half of my favorite books that I've begun I have never finished. It's sad really. I tell the few friends that I have that I will hang out with them a week from now and often do not follow through. These are the very things that I am addressing and working on right now, so I don't know if I have much advice for you. Hoping it helps you to know that you are not alone in these feelings. What I have found is that by acknowledging and understanding the problem, by talking about it, has helped me so far. Obviously you have acknowledged the problems and are talking about it, so I think you are making the necessary steps in recovery.
