i shouldn't be feeling this way and i know other people are going through harder things. But I just feel like a failure and then I get stressed and so I put it off. Then there it is i am a failure again. Does anyone else always feel like they can't do anything and don't even know where to start when it comes to their todos?

Every day. I feel as though everything i do will be bad.

I need to clean my dorm and pack, but i cannot bring myself to do it. I try to make everyone happy, but i worry about what they say behind my back and i feel like everyone is saying something about me.

I expect to fail, but i learned how to manage it. I just breathe and find something positive to focus on. Just remember, you are not a failure and i think you are amazing. And, even though you feel like a failure, just know you are not. If you want to chat, let me know.

Do you have any techniques that help you get things done like schoolwork even when you feel overwhelmed?

Every. Day. I go down the list & skip what I don't think I have the resources or brain power to do yet, then get to the end of the list & nearly panic because that means there's nothing to do. I don't doubt what you're going through is just as hard as what everyone else is. When I've been overwhelmed the only thing I've ever known how to do is pray for help, then do something little like read what I have to do for school, then reward myself for @ least doing that. If there's a movie related to it, I like to watch that on YouTube if I can find it. It gets your mind focused on what's exciting about what you'll learn. If not, you could make yourself a big milkshake or get a candy bar & take a bite every time you answer a problem. To be honest, you're doing amazing because I dropped out of college before figuring out how to handle schoolwork.
