Not been ill like this in a decade. It’s been agonizing. Feels like endurance and suffering are inevitable and relentless.

“I have a serious procrastination problem bordering on ergophobia. When I start working, I become activated. My heart rate increases, I have tension in my head, my mind becomes constricted, making it tough and unpleasant to work and write.
