Almost funny story

Since I was a child, I’ve had trouble doing tasks on my own, I used to feel anxiety, I would get mentally stuck, and I had a need to escape… as an adult, I still procrastinate until the last moment. And as a child, without a diagnosis, I didn’t know why. The thing is, I’ve never been very welcome in situations that required self-discipline. Understanding things was a breeze for me, but my dragon would appear when it came to homework. The funny part has been going to therapists seeking help, spending hours trying to make them understand my problem, and everyone coming to the conclusion that the best thing was to assign me tasks to do at home alone… :((
