Definitely sounds like "paralyzed perfectionism" then - my sister is like this so I recognize it. You should read up on it.
And in order to translate this into the housekeeping stuff, the idea of a 15 minute timer might work for you - instead of trying to do everything perfectly, just race the timer to see what you can get done in 15 minutes then stop. Doing a little, even if imperfectly, is better than doing nothing. My sister has had success with approaches like this - FlyLady works for her.
