I'm supposed to be finishing up my degree in grad school, but I've royally pissed off one of my advisors because I didn't get any paperwork done. I honestly didn't know I was supposed to do it yet: I was waiting for someone to tell me what I was supposed to do next, because I'm too stupid to figure it out on my own.

I know this means I should get cracking on the paperwork, but it always seems like the worse my situation gets, the less I want to work on getting out of it. I just get so tired of failing again and again and again that I just want to give up. I'm so tired of failing and struggling and getting scolded and feeling like an unworthy person, and it seems like the only thing I can do about it is quit trying.

How the hell am I supposed to motivate myself to actually do something productive and stop being a failure?
