Hello,
I feel things sound very intense and stressful at home for you. Plus on top of that, you have school pressures as well, which must be very overwhelming.
It must be so frustrating to know you have the ability to complete your school work yet motivation is a struggle at the moment. I feel for you, and baet clearly can too...I’m glad baet kindly reached out to you.
Just wanted to put it out there and see if anyone has some advice on how to stay motivated.
I’m happy to offer some gentle suggestions for you to consider (only if you feel they might work for you...no pressure).
I was thinking for your overdue assignments, maybe you could consider giving yourself your own “deadline.” E.g. telling yourself you will get it done by tomorrow night (your self imposed “deadline”) and create a rough schedule between now and tomorrow night for what you need to do by breaking the assignment down into smaller, more manageable tasks. Perhaps if you perceive it as a series of smaller tasks, maybe it would feel less daunting...
Also, I’m thinking you might like to visit Headspace online. It’s an organisation that is dedicated to helping young people with mental health issues. They have a wealth of free information and resources for plus I’ve heard another forum user here say they’ve a section for study related issues and advice, which you might find helpful.
There’s no rush or pressure but if you’re feeling up to it, it would be nice to hear how things have been going since your first post.
Caring and compassionate thoughts,
Pepper
