Lately I have been having trouble focusing, starting just recently in the last few months. I have tasks that I need to get done but I find I'll do anything (like writing this post, scrolling on FB, ect.) to avoid doing it.
My firm offers free therapy sessions that I'm considering using, but it just seems like such a big thing and I can't make myself sign-up even though I think it would be great for me. Any tips on focusing during the week and/or what got you to go to therapy? TIA

I’m on the verge of tears every day and have an ever growing pile of requests from clients that I’ve ignored. I am so tired of the cyclical nature of avoiding everything and realize I’m BURNT OUT. A lot of us are. Seek therapy or alternate options to get you out of this rut (extended PTO, quit if you hate your job, etc) or it will get worse.
