wanna sit this one out with me? im supposed to study but im getting quite frustrated over nothing
Sorry you're having a bad time, comrade. Would it help to have someone mom you for a bit? If so, let's talk about what you need to get done today and what we can do to make that happen. If that isn't helpful at the moment, no probs. :heart-sickle:
it's 22.30 right now. i need to get done doing this latin homework which is a bit demanding but hoenstly i dont know if the teacher is even gonna call me to see if i know it.
i also really need to get started on my art history homework which has friday morning as a deadline, and i shouldve started yesterday. i feel no drive to work right now and im feeling a bit sad.
im trying to text my friend but he's a bit unresponsive and i hope it isnt my fault.
OK, first question: Have you been staring blankly at your homework and feel like you're not making progress? Or trying not to look at it at all and doing things to distract yourself instead?
the book is open here but i just dont wanna do it, im just browsing rn, but i still need my pc open to do it, i have to write stuff down as a file
OK, gotcha. It can definitely be hard to focus when you have to keep using your computer and the internet is right. there. with all its distractions. I know it takes a little longer, but one thing that helps me sometimes when I'm having trouble focusing/feeling motivated is to go away from my computer and write stuff down on paper first, then transfer it to the computer. Alternately, it might be good to step away from homework altogether for a few minutes, just to reset. Can you talk a 10 minute walk around your block? Just going outside and moving briskly can be a good "start over" moment, just to get things going.
that is probably good, although i think it's slightly illegal getting outside at 11 pm for no reason rn here. maybe im just gonna lay in bed for a bit
one thing that has been appening is when i leave my room i have to pass around my brother and kinda stop next to him to see what he's up to on his pc (usually playing minecraft or doing homework with friends) and he always treats me like shit, like "wtf do you want, get away, im with friends" like im some lame monster he doesnt want around ugh. this is a stupid thing but it's really not made my day better.
Can I suggest doing something active in your room, rather than laying down? Unless you feel like you're too tired to focus--there's no point in staying up late if your brain is fried and your body needs to sleep. But if you're inclined to lay down because you're feeling sad (and I've been there, believe me), not because you're tired, movement can be a better option. Do some jumping jacks/push ups/crunches/whatever just to get your blood pumping a bit. Then tell yourself, "I have accomplished something that I didn't really want to do. I didn't feel like doing these dumb exercises, but now I'm feeling kinda energized. I can do other things I don't want to do, like my homework." Like, I know this sounds cheesy, but it's how I talk to myself when I'm feeling down, and it works for me--not always, but often at least.
im sorry i really really dont wanna do these things... and im nto really phisically tired, just mentally tired and bored
That's why I'd say laying down isn't a good idea, unless you're physically tired. You probably won't sleep, you'll just think about stuff that makes you feel bad. If you're at a standstill with homework, try doing something else productive that will give you a bit of a feeling of accomplishment, so you can ride it. Is there something else constructive that you can do in your room? Laundry you need to fold, etc?
The trick is to sit right down to the homework and start in on it, without browsing anything else, just as soon as you get back from your walk.
