Since I got sent home from Italy, I have to finish up my classes long distance. I have to take my finals the same time other students do, in early May; someone at a local community college will proctor them for me. I also have several class projects to complete within the next few weeks.
The problem is, that I feel really unmotivated. It's so hard to get things done for school when you don't have to go to class! I've fallen far behind, and I'm not sure how I'll catch up.
I feel like I just can't do it. Every time I sit down to do something, my inner voice starts speaking. "You don't have to do this you know." "You should stop now." "Just give up." "Oh God, make it stop!" (work is painful for me).
It's so hard to keep going when I really don't want to do the work. I tried scheduling four hours worth of work per day (which still isn't enough to get me caught up, but I thought I'd start slowly); I was actually able to stick with it for a week! But now, I can't seem to do it anymore.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I feel like I have to fight so hard just to do basic everyday things; classwork, e-mails, remembering what to do and motivating myself to do them...I hate ADHD.
Thanks
