I have real trouble with my priorities these days, the cleaning has to come first or I can't even think straight. Anybody with me? Help??

For actions, including cleaning, that become things you "have" to do, it's usually a method of anxiety reduction. I can understand the mindset - cleaning was always what happened whenever I took my ADHD medication and it was always what I did to procrastinate in college. I feel like I suddenly can't concentrate and start cleaning so I can have minimal distractions for my task. I'd agree that you should start a new thread. You'd surely get more help there.
