overview for nothx

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!

How to get over "wait mode"? in c/[email protected]

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.

I’m a lazy follower who never figured out who I was, so I just followed the path of least resistance. As a result, I don’t like myself very much and cope with sarcasm and wit.
