Observing my own neuroses.

Sometimes, when I am doing my work, I feel this low-level panic every time I look at it. It's not that there's a great deal to be done, or even that it is particularly difficult or particularly urgent. But I open the document and my heart starts to race and I want to cry or scream or throw things. Though I can force myself through it, it does not appreciably lessen the tension to be actively working on it, unlike normal procrastination. It feels like fight or flight, but it's just a Word document and an email window. I have no idea why this happens.
