Procrastination is ruining my life

Procrastination is ruining every aspect of my life. I have a great job, I know exactly what I need to do, I am qualified and capable of doing it, but I just can’t force myself to start tasks. I have sat sobbing at my PC screen mentally yelling at myself to do something and I can’t

I end up working until 2/3am just to try and get a days worth of work done. 20 hours in front of my laptop to eak out 5 hours of work. It’s having massive implications on my marriage, my abilities as a parent, and my mental health

I feel like I’ve read every productivity “hack”. Pomodorro - I get distracted or get lost in a thought for an hour. Breaking down tasks - I struggle to start writing the list. Deadlines - not an incentive until they get very painful

I’m so full of shame and guilt. My workplace isn’t aware (I hope) and I get by with the evening work and working my days off. Catch ups and work updates cause me anxiety attacks it’s gotten so bad.

I just don’t know what to do anymore. This has followed me in every job I’ve had. Please, is there a resource or a book that anyone has found to help them initiate and stay on track of a task? There must be something else out there I’ve missed
