Anxiety Support Group

Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Dead weight - cant finish university paper

lucillegem

I feel constrained


I feel terrified


but as much as this hurts, holding on to this is hurting me emotionally.


I think I just have to admit to myself that I cant complete this task, of a paper that the teacher was so kind about giving me a deferal on in june, yet I just cant. I cant help think whats wrong with me? but every night I lay awake, and every morning sitting infront of the computer I cant think, I cant hold on to the dead weight of this paper. And yes, I feel horrible about it. But what can I do now? I feel like im stuck. I guess this is a defeat for me. And I hate to admit it, well worse thing is I get an F. it still hurts.

I know this feeling. Could you put a timer on and work for an hour a day for three days and then turn in whatever you have? You might still fail, but so what? You'll have proven to yourself that you can get somethig on paper, and that's more important than a grade (and I say this as a professor). How long does the paper need to be?

Set small goals for yourself. I have a lot of difficulty reading my college textbooks, because my thoughts begin to wander and I lose focus quite easily. I've learned to read 5 pages at a time, taking small breaks in between. This takes a lot of stress off from myself, and I feel like I can remember more when I space out my reading.

talk to the professor about another extension. talk to student support services about getting an accommodations letter from your therapist that will allow you extended deadlines. take one day at a time. and read pressfield's the war of art. it helps.

Talk to me about this paper. What's the assignment, what do you have to do. Let's get you off the skids. I have pulled these things out of my arse at the 11th hr before and you can too.

So let's break this thing down. What paper, what assignment. What's the question. When's the exam and how many old papers have you got to practice with.

Talk to me.

I agree, there are a lot of tasks that are hard on a student. I can't say there were problems with many subjects, but... Didn't like writing papers and used the website https://phdessay.com/category/research/ that helped me write essays. A large database of free research paper samples. I think, at least with an assistant like that, you can solve your study problems.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
