I gave myself a "mental health day" yesterday but told myself that I need to get something done today.

There are several significant things that need to get done and my survival depends on it, but I have been stuck in "analysis paralysis" and the damned anxiety just reared its ugly head.

What do I do? How can I step out of this loop and move toward?

Do you have anything that could help distract you from your anxious thoughts? Today I drank coffee and listened to all my downloaded music on shuffle. This seemed to help as I cleaned my room. Most days the anxious thoughts, procrastination, and using phone etc. as distraction, win through.

Thanks for the response.

I texted a friend for motivation and he convinced me to get off my arse and handle a task that has been causing me stress for weeks. While it's still stressful, at least I did something.
