I am very unmotivated to do my studying and it is just causing me a lot of stress.

In recent weeks, I have became quite fatigued and umotivated to do anything. As someone who constantly thinks about work, this is making me anxious and even panicky. I feel like part of me gave up on myself, thinking that I would be horrible in what I do, no matter how hard I try, while the other part is screaming at me in my head about how lazy I am being. I really don't know how to motivate myself and with my best friend, who is also my long-distance partner, offline for a couple of days, I am not coping well. Anyone who has some advice?

Well I have been in the same condition, I procrastinated as much as I can and I was trying to runaway from all the responsibilities (I resign from my job and didn’t continue my study) but that’s not good. I get more stressed and blamed myself even the condition itself. I realize it’s not healthy, and what I’ve been doing is wrong. So I tried to do my best for what I was doing that time. And fortunately I got opportunity to continue my study, and the job I’m doing now is kinda fine, I mean it’s a job. Just take a breath first, idk my story maybe won’t help you, but I hope all the best for you :)

@andeuromeda Thanks. I hope you will get better soon

You're probably just burned out. Intense focus for long periods of time tends to do that. Take a break; focus on maintenance for a while. You will bounce back

@Eternity I've been burned out before and this is a much milder case but all the same frustrating. DO you have any advice?

@Colourflame I just gave you advice. Take a break.

Have you been tested for cv19?
you may have a mild dose... Fatigue is one of the symptoms

@ozgirl512 Yes, Hong Kong has free testing for all citizens. And COVID-19's most prominent symptom isn't fatigue.

@Colourflame one of is not the same as most prominent ...

@ozgirl512 yes but personally, I do not think it is a related topic.
