Is it normal i can't force myself to do work but am not much of a procrastinator?
I just want to clarify that first because that is what people usually jump to. How do I know this?
I don't like to do the dishes, and self-care is very low on my to-do list, but I can manage both. Lately I've made sure to "not break the chain" and I have done so without hesitation for a couple weeks now. In school, however, things haven't been nearly as easy.
I've been an honors student, taken AP classes, etc. For the past three years I've been improving somewhat, but now, in the final stretch before graduation, I've lost any momentum I've gained. I just don't want to work, regardless if I care about the subject or not.
I'm very tired of going through the routine. I feel like I'm trapped in my own house; I hardly ever leave except to go to school. My friends are clearly disinterested in me and I don't think it would be good for my self-esteem to be around them. There isn't much of an incentive to go outside either because anything remotely fun costs money and I am so terrified of wasting money because of how much I will be spending later on during college. It gives me anxiety thinking about all this and I feel like I have no where to go.
I'm tired of people telling me "this is how life is, get used to it" or "be patient, some people would kill to be in your position." It is like people are guilt tripping me and trying to make me feel bad about feeling bad.
There is something wrong with me. Everyone else can get by, "be patient" and "get used to it." I can't.
