I did a countdown of the number of days I had left - biggest motivator. I got rid of the expectations of getting As or Bs. Just passing is fine for me. I dropped out of several schools because the bullying, alienation, and reputation going down the toilet became intolerable. It felt like everyone hated me and no one was on my side.
Cool i a similar mindset as you for counting down the days and just "passing". I have heard of schools that people with SA have gone to and there are good ones and bad ones, but most often I think it's pretty normal to be bullied and what not. It sucks. Though for me I just have to go for one month at a time for three years, so one month per year.
Though being 25, I couldn't get into what I wanted to do, which was maybe Technical Support (helping people with their computers over the phone, because I hate programming). And so my "job just to make money" ended up taking me somewhere and it's not completely social so, that's why im in a trade now.
But I basically have no friends, living in a small town near my parents, and have no girlfriend. Having to travel to the bigger city to go to school by myself while leaving my apartment free for a month and paying rent for it, and combined with all this depression, is so freaking difficult it's not even funny. So I'm gonna do what anyone else would do first, I think. And on the other hand, sometimes I just don't know what the hell im doing with myself.
