Hey! Checking in here after quite a few months now. The past few months have been good because my sister was living with me and the company did me good. But she recently went back to college and I'm living alone again. Things have started getting hard again emotionally and mentally. I have a lot of deadlines coming up next month, and I iust feel so overwhelmed right now. Moody, distracted, anxious, not able to focus on what I'm supposed to be doing. I waste my days procrastinating and then feel so guilty at the end of each day. I dont kw whom to speak to, so just looking for some kind and motivational words here...

I find making a plan really helps. The more detailed the better. It's helps me from being distracted. Don't be too hard on yourself.

I have made a timetable and everything! But I find it so difficult to stick to it. Its like my brain and body aren't coordinating with each other to do what its supposed to do lol. And when Im unable to stick to schedule, I find myself getting depressed and feeling useless.

Can I ask what you do instead of what you have planned?.

I use Instagram or Netflix instead! Im not addicted to it or anything...I use it cautiously...like an escape mechanism when I'm not able to concentrate on work. It makes me feel a little better for that moment, but at the end of the day I feel pathetic.

I'm guilty of Netflix. Maybe unplug the TV and only plug it in when you've done what you needed to do. Instagram is a lot harder as its on your phone, I suppose Netflix is too but you can delete the app. You might feel pathetic but your not. I've been in the same position. You've recognised that you need to work on yourself instead of denying it like a lot of people do.

Hi there! Thank you for checking on me ❤ Each day is a struggle on its own, but I'm trying to keep myself positive and motivated through it 😊 I'm working on myself, and the procrastination...one day at a time. Also keeping the anxiety and self loathing in check. Trying to get in more discipline.
