When I am working, I am working. When I am in relaxing, I am relaxing. I am finding it difficult to structure my time to be less black and white. Is this healthy?? Am I the only one who feels this way? In what ways do you motivate yourself to practice self-discipline?

Hm-m-m-m... I'm not sure I really understand the concern here. If you're working, you're working, & if you're relaxing you're relaxing. It seems to me that would be a good thing. Too many people "take their work home with them", so to speak, by which I mean they ruminate over things that happened at work to the point where they can't really relax.
 So if you're saying you're able to focus on work while you're at work, but when you relax you're able to fully relax, that seems as though it would be a lot of peoples' dreams.  Beyond that, I'm afraid I don't know a lot about self-discipline. I just know what I have to do... & I do it...

Thank you for responding to my post. I guess what I was trying to say that when I am working (like employed) I find it much easier to manage my time. Now that my work(employment) is limited, I am having difficulty practicing self-discipline. I think I may have SAD, along with a few other undiagnosed problems. For me, a diagnosis is not at important at the process of healing (which is nearly impossible without a support system).

I do ruminate sometimes, but that is a healthy side to my OCD. If I did not pursue the thoughts that cause my anxiety, I would never be able to let them go. At least, I think it is healthy. I know I need solace right now, but I am not looking for complete isolation. It doesn't matter. I have overcome worse and more trying times. I wish I could be more productive with both (more the employment/mental heath progress than the relaxation).
