How do I stop being a quitter?
Every time I make a decision to do something I always convince myself mentally to back out of it, examples being:
>Attemp no fap
I'm not going to get laid anyway
>Think about buying a new car
Getting a loan, bartering, and paying off the financing sounds like too much work, car would only make me happy for so long
>Need to trim the beard/get a haircut
I don't have a reason to look good for anyone
>Should probably get some excercise
Again probably not getting laid
Not only do I not get anything accomplished, I just feel worse knowing I'm a lazy and/or cowardly piece of shit for giving up or just not even attempting anything

That actually sounds like depression to me. Very few people are so self defeating without being depressed or having a form of mental illness (unless you are just a pro procrastinator, in which case, carry on.)
>How do I stop being a quitter?
Work at it.

I am rather proficient at procrastinating but depression sounds about right
Funny thing though, I've already talked myself out of getting therapy

How though? I've literally no idea how to change an entire mindset, that sounds impossible for someone like me

Well, find a way to talk yourself back into it. Take it from someone who got treatment - it is the one thing worth doing as a depressed person. If treatment works, the change is astounding.

stop being a pussy
There's a revolutionary drug out there for this condition. It's called follow through.
So damn sick of all these posts like this. Come to terms with the fact that to fail once now is to fail everytime. Pick something manageable that's not too long-term and do it. If you can get through that, you build from there. If you can't, KYS.
