That Dude With That
Oh...God, believe me. You are not alone on that department. When I was a Senior in high school, it was the worst year of them all. The first year I branched out for friends (and a date), waning interests in Physics and AB Calculus, denial of not getting the college suite deal, and thanks to this little distraction whisking away my thoughts to develop my series project, I could barely handle myself. In fact, a lot of my suicidal thoughts throughout my life came at me in full force, and one event almost had me committed to an institution. I barely survived through graduation, and even then, my parents came and blamed my ass on my poor grades once it was all over. (You could've just grounded me like I told you to, Jerkasses!) Even so, ever since I've started community college, my life has been getting better. Still lonely as hell, but not actually like hell.
If you are still in High School, don't make the same mistake I did. Just take a break from the extra cool stuff and get back to basics. Sure, help out a couple friends who still like to write, but keep it on the down low and focus on what needs to be done. If you can, try to have study sessions, just give the guys a little nudge when you need to budget time. Most importantly, stay content with yourself, and know in the grand scheme (if there is one), this will all pay off.
Best of luck.
Aw puck, Darkwing's on a killing spree again, we guillotin'in again.
I've had this problem for a while, and it now seems to be coming to the forefront, and most egregiously affecting my writing.
Do I want to write? Yes, but only in highly concentrated spurts. And when I finish, I lose all motivation entirely... I didn't used to be like this; when I wrote, I would finish it. Now, I just get inexplicably sad when I try to do that.
Of late, my health has been. Rapidly and somewhat drastically deteriorating, and I've had some old wounds pretty much torn open. I just feel like a burden, really. And I can't stop putting myself down, writing or otherwise. My depression seems to be worsening with the large amount of stress I'm under, especially in school.
How can I get my motivation back up, and not feel so damn...morose? I'm alwo having a hard time coming to terms with some of my physical issues, that make a lot of daily tasks difficult. I do not want to sink into self-pity.
