"...but i can do what i can do right!" Welcome to my world, dot!! You can call it OCD or perfectionism, but for me, if I can't do something exactly a certain way (which takes forever), I don't do it at all. Which means I don't get much done. Some professionals think I have ADD, like Brent said, but one recent psychologist thinks depression and anxiety (caused by perfectionism) are what's interfering with my concentration and motivation. It's a tough call.
I totally understand what you're going through. In fact, I think I've got it even worse right now. I'm doing well if I brush my teeth every other day! I've been considering what's known as partial hospitalization where I'd go for groups and to see the doctor for about half the day. I've even thought about checking in full inpatient. Yes, I'm pretty far gone, y'all.
It sounds to me also like you might need to go back on meds. And, yes, Nyquil is a big no-no for those in recovery. A nice cup of Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea is good, though. Maybe I should go have some myself...hmmmm.
Love you,
Eddie
