Thank you CMAC. Also, dread and anxiety

Thank you CMAC and best wishes to all ... _/\_

I am stressed out about replying to email from my client, because he first emailed me several days ago for an update and I haven't replied yet.  I had hoped and expected to get further along on the project by now, but because I'm so stressed out about making a short reply to this short email, I've been procrastinating and avoiding doing much of anything.

I am grateful for another day and another opportunity to try again. I got on the computer to try to do this (send the message) but now I am tempted to read things or write an extended journal or post about my thoughts and feelings.  The writing may be helpful but I'm not sure if it's the best thing to do right now or not.  That said, even writing about writing or not is still writing about it. haha. 

I could go and do my daily prayer & meditation, which is always helpful and important for me, perhaps the most important thing for me; however I have noticed that some days even doing my prayer & meditation, while it provides spiritual comfort and happiness and clarity, I will still end up not getting done what I need to do afterwards, and still go into procrastination.  So, I thought maybe I would try to at least reply to the message, with the message that I am very sorry for not replying yet, and for not finishing yet, and would try to work on the project today.

Well, one of the two messages I got from my client is asking for a ballpark timeframe for when I will be able to finish the project.  Trying to give completion estimates often and usually fills me with dread and anxiety, because my track record in giving accurate estimates is so dreadful.  Though honestly I could probably have had the project done by now if I wasn't derailed by the dread of giving an estimate on it.  And also derailed by the anxiety about how I am behind on another project that I hoped and promised to have done or at least some progress made on by now.

Sigh.  Thanks to anyone who reads this.
