I always get this feeling to not face my obligations. I don't think I fear them, but maybe I do and I just don't realize it. I just sleep in and hope to never face them. I guess this is a side effect of my depression, which was caused by a lot of different stuff such as being fired, the feeling of the adult world crushing, etc. after I got out of high school (I am 20 years old)
My obligations are doing well in school and applying for jobs. I feel like it's just so hard that I stop and end up sleeping or playing video games. I don't know how to push myself into doing anything to better myself. And I don't want to be a burden my parents anymore.
I have a lot of goals I want to accomplish, but they just seem so far away. How do I boost morale and tell myself to do stuff? How do I get that "push" or "drive" that I so desperately need right now?

Do you see a therapist? There could be other underlying issues. I can't maintain a job for the life of me, it seems. The thought of applying for another job drives me in panic mode. I was told by a physician assistant a few years ago that I could have ADD and/or Bipolar disorder on top of my anxiety/depression. I am never on time for things I constantly procrastinate and avoid things that need to be done(which I'm also doing now) So therapy could be a start to the underlying problems,then the steps to cope and become better.

Good luck!

What are the things you do ( did) well and how you do them well? Perhaps the response is already there
