Study habits

Hi everyone I started going back to school a little over a year ago. In the beginning I was studying all the time and putting a lot of extra time and work into it so that I could make good grades,now it seems I don't even really care if I pass or not I have finals this week and i don't even want to study for them I figure why should I, I am a failure at everything anyways why try does anyone else feel this way or is it just me.

dont worry, you are not alone when you feel this way! so many people feel the same and all for different reasons. i hope being a member here will help out alot and make you realise you are not a failure.

You are not alone. Somehow, we all have to keep on going....The negative self-talk (I am a failure) does not help, but trust me, i understand that it is a struggle.

thanks believe me when i say it has not been easy my finals are tonight and still have not studied

I appreciate the thought and I hope that you are right and that some how i will realize that i am not a failure and I hope that I may find some peace of mind soon also just really depressed.

Good luck on your finals! Hope it goes well. You are not a failure, no matter what happens with these classes.

Lots of students lose motivation sometime during their programs of study. That does not make you a failure. You are in school (yay for you), in a program you applied for (yay for you), and you finished a year (yay for you). You are strong enough to get through this no matter how this one day of testing goes.

Hi Miserable Me,

You certainly are not a failure. Depression makes everything hard. Does your school have a place to turn for emotional counselling? The most important thing is to take care of yourself. The rest can always come later, believe me. If you need to put things on hold, that is OK. It is important to reach out and ask for help...
