do you ever get so overwhelmed with things that you want to do or need to do....
that you can't even do anything at all and then nothing gets done?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Yes, I can relate to this. It's very hard to just pick one thing and start it, when ocd is in the way.
Also, what you describe, can be from depression. Make sure you see a psychiatrist if you are having major problems in the areas of concentration, and lack of energy.

I will praise Him in this storm.....
Surrendering All, I can relate also. I get easily overwhelmed and tend to "shut down". I find myself lying on the couch trying to convince myself that "I'm exhausted" or "I have a headache" in order to avoid doing things. I have found that by making a very small list of things to accomplish everyday keeps me from getting too overwhelmed...especially if the list that day involves things that revolve around my OCD, such as cleaning or making phone calls. Have you been diagnosed and put on medications? Just wondering. I'll be praying for you.

Im sorry if i offended you i didnt realise that this was related to OCD thats all. I too have felt like you say. I find that i will start doing the things that i want to in my head (eg clean the kitchen), and plan exactly how i am going to do it, and in the end i wont actually do any of it because im already exhausted from doing it in my head. I dont struggle with this as much anymore because i have recognised that as soon as i think of something that i need to/want to do, i will get up and start doing it before i have a chance to think about it, this works most of the time (sometimes it doesnt though).
Bless you
