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? __________________ Facing the insanity of the crushing world everyday.

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

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
