Hole In The Ceiling

I have some water damage appearing on the ceiling in the living room.  I think it is from the shower in the master bath. I tried repairing this without cutting a hole in the ceiling without success.

I am dreading cutting a hole in the ceiling and dealing with the issue. I have been thinking about it for a few days now.  I am sure I can do the work.  I have some kind of action paralysis that keeps me from moving forward. This paralysis keeps me from other projects also.

What causes this analysis paralysis?  I think there are multiple factors-laziness, lack of confidence, depression.  I don't like things messed up.  I am sure having a big hole in the ceiling is not going to make me happy.

    1. I am insured, but it nothing is covered under $500. This repair will cost about $100 in materials and $0 in my labor. My aggravation doesn't cost anything either.

  2. You will stare at it constantly, toss and turn your way though a bad night's sleep. Make sure you do something more than tape a piece of plastic over it.

  3. I can understand that. I tend to dwell on things that need to get done so that I cannot relax until I do them. I hope you're able to get it fixed relatively easily.

  4. The problem is never as bad as the worry either.
