When your brain sees “a task” and your body feels “a threat,” it makes total sense that you can’t just start.

I know that I need more time than I normally do to prepare to focus/tackle tasks, but I don't know how to adjust my reality (I need to get things done!) with my other reality (I can't do as much as I used to)."
