I guess over this period I have consolidated a lot of other issues to my addiction. Because in one way or another it all ties into each other and goes hand in hand. My anxiety is still an issue that may not be resolved immediately. I have accepted that. For days, I litteraly had just shut down and not really deal with ANYTHING at all. Including the dishes, laundry, the daily household things that you would normally do were all thrown into the mix. AND THE ANXIETY ONLY GOT WORSE!
So with small little tiny baby steps, I started to tackle one thing at a time. The easiest things that you could normally do quickly, now seemed like an eternity to completly. But the main thing is that it was completed. It finally felt good to get something done, even if it was the simplest thing such as clearing out the sink of dirty dishes. Then on to the next thing, and the next, etc....
My point is that I am able to complete the small task even if it does take a much longer time than in the past, and have somewhat realized that the BIG ones may take a MUCH LONGER TIME TO COMPLETE. But, they WILL EVENTUALLY GET COMPLETED!
I hope and pray that I'll be able to remember this myself the next time an issue arrises and my anxiety starts to increase.

I'm have a similar problem I understanding what you are going through as you do. I tend to put off doing things and now I'm starting to get back slowly and trying to do things again normally but it's still a problem.
