Anna42 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, first - feel free to try my advice and look through links i will provide and tell me if my contribution is good or bad. It is an attempt to help get started right now, so it will be brief at first, i think. It is also a reminder for me. https://solvingprocrastination.com/how-to-stop-procrastinating/ Very good site with insane ammount of techniques and info https://zenhabits.net/focusguide/ Cool blog, cool tips. (Be extremely careful to not procrastinate by reading how to stop procrastination - my vice lol) 1. technique - just get started. Figure out the smallest step and try to do it. There was some study done that suggests that people feel actual pain when thinking about the task they are procrastinating on. It subsides when you start the task. I know, easy to say - but when you feel that pain and say "i will feel like this tommorow" - which you will not, think of it as a flag, as a message to get started. Gets easier with practise. 2. Act as if/Opposite action Opposite action is a DBT skill. When you feel like doing something, do the opposite, but all the way. Imagine that you are a method actor, potraying your best self or anything you find helpful. For example - you want to play games, but decide to act as a studious person to prepare for the exam. Hard skill, can be used to change unwanted emotions also, hope i explained it adequately. Apologies for any mistakes i am new to this site and English is not my first language Edit : realised that this will work only when you feel mostly alright, so when you feel awful - forgive yourself, be gentle and practise self-compassion (talk to yourself as you would with a friend or a loved one) Edited November 20, 2021 by ChessieCat added spacing for easier reading 2018 - july 2019 - Paxil plus atypical AP July 2019 - November 2019 - Velofaxin November 2019 - December 2019 - AP that made me active and productive and then anxious and ahedonic January 2020 - Anafranil + Aripiprazol July 2021 - stopped cold Turkey Late october 2021 till now - Zoloft 100 mg + Aripiprazol 5 mg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
