Often I end up closing the list and immediately turning to self-soothing. And because there’s no way to know in advance if a task on the list will give me anxiety, this often results in my list being not just unusable but unreadable, preventing me from doing or even remembering the non-anxiety tasks on the same list.

    I love PDA! I kiss my wife any and everywhere. I don’t need a reminder for that.

      love your enthusiasm for your wife ☺️ but they probably meant pathological demand avoidance (PDA)

        I genuinely thought they meant a personal digital assistant to keep track of todos and stuff
