I was very interested in reading this article, hoping for clues to work with this problem. Gee, thanks a lot. “Just do it” is the best you can come up with? Obviously you have never been depressed, it is just a smidge more complicated than that.
I agree, but what more do you expect from a Newsday freelance writer? I think the writer was just looking for a quickie article to connect to the tax filing deadline. I don’t think she meant it to be any kind of in-depth examination or suggestion for change for people who grapple with the serious issue of procrastination (especially in conjunction with other mental health issues).
Dr. John,
First and foremost let me say, I love you site and what it
Stands for! I think with the right medicines and support
and hard work of retraining the brain, and living in the
Now, there is a great possibility to recover and lead an
Exceptionally super life! To what degree that is up to you
as only you hold the keys to your future and only you can
Change you! This short article sums up what I think you
Mean, let me know:)
When Others see a Shepard boy GOD, may see a king!
We are just two apples, you and me, but I just happened to fall from the wrong side of the tree! He is a pear they’ll shout, throw him away let’s get him out, TROW HIM OUT OF ENDEN THE LARGEST APPLE SHOUTS! He’s only boy the girls say with a hush. It’s never been done this way they all cried, he’s a pear they said as I wept inside.
Walking out of Eden was the hardest thing to do, as the tears rolled down my face. Now as you can see, I am left with nothing, alone in a big vast space. I am trying so dam hard to make my mark in this world of ours. Has anyone ever been thrown out of Eden? Ever made it before, have they gone on to glory and said give me more?
I am an apple I yelled no different than you, I just happened to fall from the wrong side of the tree, I want back in I say with grin, but my friend, we are both fruits you and me. Please lend a hand. After all we did fall from the same tree! Mike, Mike hear me now, I feel left out on the outside of Eden trying to get back in. You my master hold the key and they say without doubt, when the student is ready, the Teacher shall appear, but how my friend can I move forward when I am looking from the outside in, to the glorious place that you now reside.
I feel as though you have given up on me and I must say, on the outside it sure looks that way, but my friend I say with tears, I have only heard from you twice in a few years, lowly and wretched may I now be, but in the end my friend I shall be the brightest star you ever did see.
Why you may ask and the reason I did, is because you first loved me, when I was but a commoner and you then royalty and the next to be King. Mike I now say thanks for you loving me and please remember that when other see a Shepard boy, God may see a King and In a moment he can touch you and everything will change, when others see a Shepard boy you my friend saw me as a King, for this I am forever grateful!
God Bless,
Arthur Buchanan

I was just reading a study* linking procrastination was due more to shame-proneness. Studies on procrastination are very useful information for educators, especially for grades K-12.
