I will echo the possibility of depression as a culprit, because what you are doing sounds like what I do when I am depressed and anxious; I get caught up in a downward spiral of procrastination.
I too always thought I was a procrastinator before being successfully treated for depression and anxiety. Being put on medication gave me time to restructure myself, my thoughts, my habits, and my life in a positive way. It felt like crawling out of a deep, dark tunnel I didn't even know I was in. I still procrastinate sometimes, but it isn't the paralyzing sort of procrastination I engaged in before. Usually, the things that get procrastinated on, as genuinegirly pointed out, are the things that don't challenge me.
When looking for a therapist, you may want to consider looking for one that specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy. In conjunction with medication, CBT can be very effective in reforming personal habits.
