> I am very avoidant.... if there is anything that I don't want to do, anything which I will find broring, anything which will cause anxiety etc.... I will not do it. I will put it off, I will procrastinate... it will never get done... ever...Ed, that's an interesting complexity of two different issues. One would be avoidance of everyday tasks that have to get done (sooner or later), which could be explained by ADD or depressive stuff. A lack of interest thing.. or inability to focus thing/followthrough issue. The other is avoidance of anxiety-provoking situations. I've got a mix of both a lot of times.. no interest or motivation and worry that I won't get something *perfect* (I'll botch it up). SSRi's have helped in the past by making me not *care* whether I botch something up or not and "thaws" my thinking allowing it to flow and multi-task, but they tend to make me buzzy and over-activated. I'd say probably the best combo I've tried was Effexor+Adderall .. gabapentin+dexedrine worked pretty good too.
