::(:I don't know what to do or who to turn to. I made my first D at the university I'm at in Fall 2010 and this past semester a D and a F... I don't feel motivated to do anything. Work anything... I haven't left my home in weeks. Not on my own anyway. I just feel like I can't. And I don't even want to.... I feel nothing. No want. Nothing. What's wrong with me? Does anyone have advice?

It's hard to feel no motivation to get yourself out there, just think of something what could boost ur motivation up, something you would actually enjoy. Go for a simple walk and figure out what you want.
Think about it, I know this might sound even too hard to try, but it's worth a try. I also have moments that I feel like doing nothing, It s*cks. But there are 3 options:

-Do completely nothing, waste time and feel dissapointed because u ain't motivated.
-Reach some small victories, like going for a walk, go cycling, reading a book, doing some work, or just anything you'd like to achieve.
-Do A lot, and feel totally different , you're in another position ;)

but still.. You did post this thread because you want to do something about it right, I know motivation is hard to increase, but where there's a will, there's a way
Good luck!

hey latte,
i quit college, and stayed at home for 3 years. I started to miss it, and thought of missing a job in the future and being unable to work for money, those days just spending time at home being bored :/ I felt sad and frustrated because I want more to achieve ::eek::. I know it is noteworthy because u are at home in the safety zone and have a lot of free time, but i just wanted to say that i started to miss the life of having a positive outlook on goals and having a day routine.


I will start college again soon, and I can't wait to begin.
Why are you considering to leave college? Because u can't handle it cuz of SA ? I left college because I was always extremely anxious at the school yard and was afraid of going everyday. Or is it manageable for you? :) just curious.

nice username btw, Latte Machiatto =D

Thanks for the advice. But...this is way different. In the past, I was able to take the steps you've listed in your post but now, I just can't. I did a lot of good things this semester but still felt wore down as the semester came to an end. Now I feel nothing... No push. Nothing. I don't know what I can do to fix it. I need to fix it. I need to work for a living. I need to graduate. Why can't I just do it like all the other normal people?

I feel the same. I'm in the same boat. 23. Still making bad grades here and there b/c of loss of motivation... I'm smart-or think I'm smart- and feel that I should be able to handle this.

Retake the classes, do your homework outside.. this helps me sometimes. I can barely do anything productive inside. I think since you already made bad grades your motivation went down but try to ignore them and keep going. When you make better grades it will make you happier, i'm sure you can do it.
