i have so much trouble around doing university assignments and studying for tests. i know i'm not alone in this, but, whenever i go to do anything it's like my mind kinda freezes. i open word to start an assignment and suddenly i can't think of any words. i open my textbook or a provided pdf file for readings and it take dozens of tries to even get started.

i kinda feel this almost overwhelming sense of failure and hopelessness whenever i try to get started.

i don't really know what to do. everyone i've spoken to just says i need to study more, or i need to set aside more time for it, so i dont know maybe i'm just lazy.... maybe i do have a problem. again, i dont know what to do.

i really don't want to fail another semester, i rwally cant fail another one. but i just dont know what to do.

suggestions?
