Hello!

You are now at an important stage of your life. Your body and psyche, through apathy, lack of energy and motivation, are trying to tell you about something important. Your task is to understand what exactly.

I suggest one of the possible options.

You often do not what you want, but what others want from you. For some reason, you are forced to meet other people’s expectations. Perhaps you live by the principle “I need to”, not “I want to”. You are forced to suppress your interests and desires, and this takes a lot of energy. This explains the apathy and weakness.

How to get out of this situation? Ask yourself a question more often: “What do I want?” Start to satisfy even small desires of yours. In addition, you need to learn to build boundaries in relationships with close people and be able to say “no”. It’s your life and you don’t have to meet other people’s expectations.

I can relate to this. I was diagnosed with bipolar a couple years ago, never knew I had it when I was in school. One day I would have “it” where everything was easy and just flowed. The next day I would spend laying in bed completely listless. I’m not saying you have bipolar, but whatever is going on is probably similar. The best thing you can do for yourself at this time is to get accommodations for extended deadlines (not sure what level schooling you’re in). When you have “it” (because “it” will come back) you won’t need them. But when you’re down, you’ll be so glad you did something for yourself. Don’t lose hope. Every bad day is temporary. Take the time to be at peace with where you are today, and then try again tomorrow. Most importantly forgive yourself—over and over—and then move on.

I completely get it, with such disturbances around it's difficult to focus again and get yourself together, I get your parents concern too, I mean all they want is you to focus on studies and not waste your time with wrong people, they can be suffocating at times but try to understand things from their pov, parents want nothing but the best for you, and they’ve been through life more than you so of course they’ve more experience , listen to them but also make em understand that you also need to live life according to yourself, you need to learn some things your way, communicate,make them understand 🫂🤍

I understand what you are going through, communication can help a lot, express what you want what you want from life do not suffer and settle with the suppression, and try talking in a sensible and polite way, I mean give them logic and reasons and they’ll let you have your chances at life trust me, I guess they just want the best for you and whatever seems like a trouble they want to remove it, of course you’re young and what they identify is useless and unsafe can be fun for you, make them understand
