Need a Little Assistance
Hey y'all. For reference, I'm clinically diagnosed with depression. I'm struggling a lot here recently. My fiancé and I recently moved into a new house and, with her working almost every day and me only working once a week, it's mostly up to me to get the house in order. After a month here, it's almost the exact same. I try so hard (or maybe not? That's the imposter syndrome....) but I can't seem to get it done. I procrastate and tell myself i'm 'planning', I play video games but that just makes me feel worse, and anytime anyone needs anythimg, I get out of the house as soon as possible. I don't know why it's gotten so bad suddenly. I have friends and family whom I can depend on, I have very supportive, loving, and far too patient and understanding fiancé; I, by all standards, should be better off than I am. Yet, here I sit. Idk if I'm just rambling or using this 'reaching out for advice' as another means of procrastination and tricking myself; I just don't know what to do. Thank you in advance for any responses.

Looks like you're having a tough time.. but I'm glad you have people who understand and support you.
Simply, you just need to deal with procrastination right? There are a ton of things to help with that.. Removing distractions, focus on what motivates yourself to work, and count back from 5, and as soon as u get to 0, get up and do the work u have been procrastinating. It works a lot.
Accountability systems like to do list, or holding someone else accountable for ur actions help too
