I'm a guy, 22 years old. For years I feel like my instincts/subconscious is turning against me, because when I start some new thing I like/love to do, then the next time I would do there's a block, there's fear and anxiety, and mostly the feeling that it is worthless, and another one I can't describe, but it's uncomfortable.
So the result is, that my days are kinda repetitive: all I do is the basic/necessary stuff (sometimes not even all of that though), stuff that I don't like, and addictive behaviors (computer, internet, porn, etc.). The bad thing about this is two things. One is that have no idea how to "capture" it, I don't know what is the source of the problem, so I can't confront it. The second is that it affects my performance. I finished a 5-year-old grammar school (high school) in 7 years (repeating class twice), and I only learned on a few occasions, when was absolutely necessary. I'm afraid that if this carries on than my fate will be that I will die of cold on a park bench. So in sum the problem is that I have very low willpower; I feel like a puppet and my feral, (self)destuctive instincts pulling the strings. |

The first and most obvious question is, have you seen a psychiatrist or a therapist. They may be able to help you sort through your issues. Talking things out with a professional can help you focus on the important issues and help you with your self destructive instincts. Hopefully, they can help you get more motivation, as well.

Maybe trying some anxiety relief techniques can help with the fear of doing the things you love.
