It’s been three weeks of peak anxiety. From having family drama to falling behind on my school responsibilities bc my PC stopped working properly and I lost three different partial projects in two different occasions and had to redo them. 

This whole week we had it off, but I just couldn’t get myself to work… I sat down and basically stared at the screen bc my brain stopped cooperating. Even if I took breaks, my brain would torture me bc I was wasting time. 

Last year I got hospitalized bc my anxiety got to high I had my back contractured and couldn’t move my arm. It was nervous tension on my shoulder and neck. I have to be careful with that, but with everything piling up I’ve been ignoring the pains. But if I attend them, I get even more behind. 

How do you force yourself to work despite your brain playing against you?
