Hey guys.
I'm starting to feel depressed again and it's my final week of the semester at uni, so I'm drowning in deadlines (actually just one, thank god). I'm here, sitting in front of my notebook trying to finish my stuff, but I just can't focus. I'm lacking of energy and concentration and it isn't laziness because I don't even want to do anything else more pleasurabl, I just want to lay down and stare at the ceiling right now. I'm still "functional" though. Any tips? From white noise to... I don't know? Pretty much anything.I really need some focus and energy because otherwise I'll be crying in a couple of days, when my deadlines approach.  Thanks!

How about a cold shower and a huge bowl of brownies and chocolate chip ice cream?

the only advice I can give is to narrow your scope .... to one specific task ... make yourself do that small thing and hope you can coast off the momentum ... maybe one sentence ...

i'm having the same issues, except I have 5 weeks left of school. I can't seem to motivate myself to get my stuff done I just want to lay down and sleep or curl up and watch tv and not think about anything... I have 3 exams this week and I'm under so much pressure but I'm not prepared at all... It's hard to be struggling, Idk what to do myself.. I hope you can get your stuff done and just think after this week the pressure will (hopefully) be off! Good luck!

I tried to "push harder" and just get things done yesterday and ended up having a breakdown. Ended up binge-eating a whole jar of cookies and candy out of desperation and then cried bc I felt guilty. :/
Tbh, I've already scored a "passable" grade on all the courses I'm taking this semester, but the idea of lowering my overall score OR failing the most important activities won't let me sleep. Anyway, yesterday I ended up calling my boyfriend who convinced me to take a break because nothing good would come from me in that state. So yes, better respect your limits when you just can't get yourself to do stuff.
