  • No problem! Always eager to share some stuff I’ve learned from my decades of coping without understanding, lol. Now I have the context I needed and it’s still a struggle.

    Another thing I will say is if you have a partner and you haven’t already done so, read them in on it. My wife and I have helped each other immensely when it comes to keeping these types of behaviors in check.

    Good luck, comrade!


  • I definitely experience this. It’s like decision paralysis except with anticipation.

    One thing that has helped me is working backwards from the time I know I have to be somewhere. Doing this allows my to game out how much time I actually need to get ready and get there, once I understand that timeline, it makes it way more clear how much time I really have.

    It doesn’t always work because I still struggle with the time management a little, but it does more often than not relieve some of the anxiety I feel during the lead up.

    However, no matter what I do, I always end up arriving to the obligation way earlier than I need to, lol.
