What you can do right now, is establish a better timely routine for yourself. It may be a bit difficult to establish at first, but as you get the hang of it, it would make you feel a lot better. Healthy and timely meals, regular sleep schedule and physical activity/exercise of your preference(I recommend Yoga, as it is efficient and easy to do at home) are related to a better mental health. So I would recommend you do that. Apart from this, I recommend that you take professional help from a Counselling Psychologist or a Clinical Psychologist.
Next Steps
I can see you have mentioned that you "don't work hard", "can't solve problems". How you view yourself, affects how you are. CBT would help in restructuring your thoughts, which could help build a better view of self resulting in better response/behaviour. Stage fear or anxiety is something that needs professional help. Do take professional help.

Hi,
You seeking for help tells you want are looking for help, which is great!
I wonder what type of office work you do and as you me mentioned you Can do office work, so work is not an issue currently as I may understand. Then coming to your emotional and behavioral distress, it could be because of multiple reasons and a in person assessment could help you identify reasons behind it.
Until you get to see a Mental Health Clinician,

Hi,
When we are walking with baggage, we tend to lose the meaning of the current path.
There are many view points of this situations. One might have labelled self from past experiences. One might be stuck in one particular situation in past. Or one is not getting what was thought of. Or more.
Most important is your view point. What are your barriers? What is your stuck point? Most importantly focusing on how can you overcome and over power these emotions. Mind needs to think but in which direction is your choice.
Sessions are required to help you understand the loop and to break free. Also, Being solution focused, yes can be difficult but is possible.

Hi
It looks like to me that you are troubled by the habit of procrastination. However, you have mentioned that you can do office work timely. It seems that you are having difficulty in attaching meaning to other things because of which it is leading to procrastination, escapism and worry.
The other issue that you have mentioned is about stage fear which too may be a cause of different reasons.
Next Steps
Since, there are multiple issues being faced for quite some time, I would suggest you to consult me for further therapeutic interventions. By using a combination of therapies, your issues can be resolved.
