This may seem like a random question: how are your organizational skills?
I ask because I can relate to your experience.
What I'm finding out for myself in recovery is that my sociability is directly tied to my mental filing cabinet.
When my cabinet is bursting at the seams with to-do items, I feel very disinclined to extend myself socially. All my energy is focused inward and feeling stressed-out from the disorganization.
However, there is hope! My husband gave me a book last Christmas titled, "Getting Things Done" by David Allen.
When I first perused it, my head was still cloudy. Rereading it this time around (almost 3 years clean) is having a profound impact on my mental state and the possibilities for achievement both socially and creatively. I have so many projects in my mental pipeline I need a way to organize, categorize and act on each of them. This book is a key.
Just throwing it out there.
