Yeah, i'd figure i'd post something here. It's probably going to be more pointless rambling and less asking for advice than i'd like, so i apologize in advance.

In short, my life is not bad but it kind of sucks right now. I suck at studying, or rather, i suck at actually starting to do it. I can't get myself to open a book for the life of me, i get really anxious whenever i try to see where i have to begin or start doing anything so i just procrastinate and do things on the internet, or whatever.

My mood is a constant grey fog, but i can't say i have been genuinely happy in a few years now. I kind of don't care anymore about what i'm studying right now, i guess i haven't come to terms with it yet, but i can't really get out of it now, after three years in uni not doing basically anything. And i don't want to fail. The prospect of having to become the average "work in whatever you get and hope you don't get sick, leave your dreams behind and just do whatever" for the next 50 years doesn't really appeal to me. Plus, i really have low self esteem and have a constant idea of people looking down on me or treating me as a child. I kind of see myself as a child constantly too and i hate that. I'm a balding piece of shit that never got to do anything and i suck at life. Fucking great.

I've been seeing a psychologist for almost 5-6 months now and it has helped for a lot of things but i still can't honestly study for the life of me. I don't know if this is what is usually deemed as ADD or ADHD or whatever, but it kind of feels like it and it's tearing my life apart. Really tempted to get into doing adderall and prescription stimulants bought over the internet to try and fight that. It's kind of my last hope that i can use drugs or something to turn around that shitty personality or whatever of mine into a study machine, finish this fucking college maybe having some fun and talking to people instead of being an isolated unproductive piece of shit, but i am still unsure.

I really have no willpower left. These past 3 years have been a daze with very few little memories retained, the only thing remaining being noticeable aging, lost exams and money, and the regret of not doing anything i wanted in either work or leisure for too much time.

What the fuck am i even supposed to do. Kind of envy americans, they get prescribed whatever and just turn into zombies but at least they somewhat function, and i partially gave up self-care a long time ago. Kind of explains why i don't give a shit about health anymore, haha.

I guess i'd ask if any of you have any similar experiences, and all that. It'd be welcome.

Also i know drugs aren't supposed to be the answer or anything but at this point it's either i start forcefully functioning and get out of my personal rock bottom while still trying to sort out my relatively shallow depression or i just try to sort it out with a malfunctioning brain, fail, and pretty much either become a bum because i really wouldn't give a shit anymore and/or kill myself after that.

Fuck, why the fuck did my parents ever think having a kid was ever a good idea. Didn't even ask me if i wanted to, fucking sonsabitches

by the way, i suck at starting anything period, not just studying. nothing feels good anymore.

video games are not fun to me.

anime is boring

movies are kind of okay i guess

studying is kind of fun but i can't bring myself to do it, it crushes my soul with anxiety

jacking off feels mechanic and i don't even like porn anymore

friends don't give a shit and whenever i open myself up they just shit on whatever i am feeling and just go the "dude you suck at everything you're wrong you should be doing X" where x varies from person to person and it doesn't work since it's just guesswork so they don't have to listen to my whining

so i just browse the internet. not so much imageboards, but just things

oh man, i've really done it

Avoid all drugs, they generally don't help.

Not having a goal might be a cause of your listlessness.

Also you might have low testosterone, from stress, environment or lifestyle.

If you boost that, naturally, you should feel a lot more alive and motivated.

Stop fapping and porning. After a few weeks or months, fap only to your imagination, once a week.

Read about testosterone boosting foods. Make it the principle of your diet in general.

Dark green vegetables every day, well sourced, lean red meat. Oily fish, sardines. Variety of nuts. Some fruit. Natural chicken. Mushrooms.

Exercise every day, research how to do good pushups. Squats. Walk 30 minutes a day at least.

Spend time in the sunlight every day.

Sleep in a very dark room. Sleep enough hours.

Most important, keep a routine. Make all of the above into good habits. They only take a few weeks to start to become automatic. Stick with them.

After some months of core exercise, you can add free weights if you want. Focus on power exercises, not stamina.

Keep yourself busy, set goals, accomplish them.

Earn money, save up, keep finding better jobs and more challenging projects.
