I couldn’t have said any of this better myself.
> Things I truly care about, or which are exceedingly important are a huge uphill battle just to put any effort at all towards them.
This is the sentence that hit the hardest for me. I’ve been struggling with this since before I can remember and it frustrates me to no end. The worst part to me isn’t even being less productive than I want to be, it’s my brain sometimes not even letting me do things that bring me joy, like spending time with my family or indulging in hobbies. Anything but what I want to be doing is what my brain wants to do.
