Defeated but I need to do things!

2 Replies

One month into my senior year in college. I have not been sleeping well, if at all. Tried drugging myself to sleep with Nyquil and the like. Every assignment feels like a mountain that I just cannot seem to move. I feel lost all the time. Last semester I took 6 classes and got straight As. Busted my butt: read everything, turned everything in, answered all questions. This semester, I'm only taking 4 but I just cannot get myself to do anything. I feel stuck and defeated. Haven't been studying. Barely turned in any homework. There's something wrong with me but I don't know what. The therapist I was seeing just retired and I won't be reassigned for a month.

What have you guys done to get out of a similar rut? I cannot afford to be this complacent.

I am studying English to be a high school teacher. I have been trying to take it day by day, assignment by assignment, but I still can't get a grip on what I'm even doing. Even household chores takes so much out of me. It's like the work never ends.

Finals are at the end of May. I look forward to the goal every day because I love the students that I will be teaching. I just hate being the student. Your end goal doesn't have to be anything specific. Medicine is very admirable regardless of where it takes you. I wish you the best of luck with school! We can lament about our school pains in the meantime.
