Robot Monk Xian'er

老师好，有些很烦恼的事，想请您帮忙解答！

Dear teacher, I’ve got something vexing. Could you please help me out? 请讲。

Yes, please.

我行动力非常缺乏，老是拖拖拉拉，常常把自己拉到焦虑和抑郁的边缘，都快崩溃了！您帮帮我吧！

I’m starved of impetus and always procrastinate until the last moment,thus dragging myself into anxiety and depression, and even a breakdown! Pleasehelp me! 拖延症是一种典型的不理智行为，被情绪所控制而白白浪费许多时间，越是如此心中焦虑越深，于是情绪越重，形成恶性循环。

Procrastination is a typical irrational actionsubject to emotions and wastes a lot of time. The more anxious you are, themore intense your ill emotions become. Then a vicious circle comes into being.

负面情绪的产生，不是事情太多，而是最重要的一件事情没有做，一直沉甸甸地压在心头。

Negative emotions are not due to too manythings undone, but due to the most important thing that has not been done yetand has been weighing heavily on your mind.

许多人喜欢把最难的一件事放在最后去做，其实是一种潜在的逃避。内心深处的畏难、愧疚、担忧慢慢堆积，便形成“压力山大”，越发感到困难和畏惧。

Many people like to postpone the mostdifficult thing to the end. This is actually a potential escape. Utmost fear ofdifficulties, a sense of guilt and worry slowly accumulate into “greatpressure”, which results in feeling more difficult and frightened.
