Hi everyone. I am currently preparing for university entrances, and I study through online courses, so I am pretty much alone all the time, and my Md makes it real difficult. Actually I am at this point that i can at most maybe pass if i put in real work or I will fail . And at this point its pretty much impossible for me to connect elsewhere in outside. So I was wondering if any of you also face similar problems while studying. Maybe we can connect in small groups in a chat room and help each other by holding each other accountable, we can share our study schedules, motivate, if one feels the urge to Dd then he can talk with others instead, maybe have a chat once in a while. We will have to agree on a particular time etc. Please let me know what you think about this and if any of you would like to give it a try. Any other suggestions. Anything will be very much appreciated.

It's been a long time. I'm having trouble learning again. I had gotten a few incompletes in college the passed spring semester. I need to finish those classes over the summer. I want to concentrate and get some work done. My ability to concentrate has gone beyond just being distracted, it's gotten to the point at which I wait for things to get going "normally" before starting work. But that is just waiting until the distraction begins. Whatever it may be. I think I genuinely want to procrastinate, but also it's because I don't feel comfortable when the distractions come up in the middle of working. Kind of don't want to start when I know the distraction has yet to begin. Another major distraction is that I found this disorder online that I think I have, and I keep looking into it more and more, just waiting for the weekend to tell my friend. I think I really could use some help concentrating. Or even wanting to work. I mean, I want to have done it, I even want to want to do it sometime, but I just don't want to do it now.

Have you looked into the possibility that you might have ADHD or some other condition that affects your ability to concentrate?

Sam, I have. I even got a preliminary diagnosis, but there are several reasons I think it's not the case. The main one being that it started later for me and developed with stressors and major life changes as opposed to just learning. But also, I might be biased against that diagnosis. I've always felt that it wasn't really that. Then again, what I think it is goes way beyond an attention disorder. I believe I have a personality disorder, as I've always felt highly controlled by my wild emotions and seem to have nearly all the other requirements.

Definitely talk to a doctor if you think you might have a personality disorder. Treatment for those goes beyond what our self-help capabilities are. Even if you don't think you have ADHD, you might still want to look into tips that are out there to help people with ADHD to focus, since they're frequently applicable to other issues that cause problems with your ability to focus as well.

I'm not really in a good position right now to get therapy or anything like that, or even see my doctor since Covid 19. I don't feel comfortable talking to him anyway, I just deal with him because he's covered by my insurance, but I always get really bad vibes around him and I can't get the uncomfortable feeling to go away. Any hope for therapy or professional treatment would have to wait until I graduate from college and move away. It's hard to self help, and external help doesn't cut it most of the time. It just gives me a bit of comfort, which makes things a bit easier. I know I'll get through this one way or another, I just know I'll probably also be making things a lot harder for myself and those around me until I do go get some professional help. Despite how awful I feel sometimes, self harm and suicide never seem like a solution to me. Doing any of that for real just seems impossible and unwanted. I'm no threat to anyone, so I know there is no emergency help needed here. It's just really a pain dealing with all this and feeling like it will never get better and knowing that I won't even know if professional help will work until I can get it three years from now when I'm living on my own.

Understandable. We're always here if you want to talk about it.
