How do you keep yourself motivated to continue your studies?

I'm battling depression and sometimes it's just... too much. I end up procrastinating and getting frustrating then become more depressed. It's my last year in uni but I'm afraid I won't make it.

You've made it so far, the finish line is in sight, so you know you can make it..

Depression is another challenge, sometime the meds you take can fog you up leading to difficulties in studying and procrastination. You should chat with your doc and see if there is anything else than can be recommended (dose, type etc)

You need a confidence boost, to believe in yourself and get both these challenges under control..

@Majorlatency: that's the problem. My parents won't let me see my psychiatrist.😞

@emera: Not being funny, but what's stopping you making a call or appointment on your own, it's your health unless there's something else you're not mentioning...

@Majorlatency: A trip to my psychiatrist is a bit expensive here and our health insurance doesn't cover it. My parents are very religious. They believe I'll be fine if they 'rebuke' the 'evil spirit' that cause my illness and I just read the bible 😐
