Beyond the therapy suggestion, which I stand
behind too, I'll throw in my two cents from
personal experience--I think that
indecisiveness is often a kind of OCD
that serves to "mask" or "hide" an underlying
depressive state. Some of my most serious
bouts with depression were preluded by periods
of major indeciveness during which I probably
would have denied that anything was wrong
at all; I was just trying to "decide"
something! Therapy is the kind of thing that
can help one be more a bit more insightful
about where such indecisiveness comes from
and what it might be "covering up", as it were.
Best,
JD
