I've developed a problem around junk food and computer games. I use them to distract myself from unpleasant thoughts. But I'm ruining my life in the process: I've lost all motivation for living.
If I decide to straighten up and do the right thing, I soon become very depressed and anxious. But if continue trying to distract myself, then I don't get done the things I want to do. I'm wasting my life.
The less I deal with my problems, the worse they become, and the harder it is to dig myself out from this hole. This just makes me want to distract myself even MORE.
Any suggestions?
