burnout advice?

No there's not any... And if there is then I'd like to know 2...i am locked in my house and I am so fessed up with this already.... I wanna go to classes but not in masks.... I hate masks too... I couldn't breathe in it... I have to force myself to take each breathe.... And when I came home... I always end up with fatigue and headache....
Bear it cuz we can't help it... And all the best for your exams...

There was this great youtube video that I watched a while ago where this guy explained why he studied 15 hours a day every day. He summed it up to being "drive" which is different than motivation. Because motivation can only get you so far. You can be told by someone that this is what you're aiming for and you can do this and that and that will get you through the first week or so, but it'll never be sustainable. Drive is different where you have a clear goal, and you have to accomplish certain things per day in order to get to your endpoint. You don't want to do things, you just DO things. So the best advice I can give you, is if you don't have a fked up job that gives you unreliable work hours, set aside some time to study for an hour. It's a lot better than nothing, and once it becomes habitual, like brushing your teeth and showering, then it's just another thing that you have to do throughout the day that will better yourself.

dude thst is literally my situation right now, but the thing with me is that I don't feel like sleeping at all, i have been in my room for so lang now with just like 3 hours of sleep in a day. My summer holidays were going on till now but tomorrow my online classes are starting again... Life is just fucked up for me as i have not done any homework up until now and now i am scared for even taking a class tomorrow:(

Here's the video if you're interested, it's pretty inspiring. And also mb it was actually 12 hours a day.

thank you so much for taking the time to write this out, you don’t understand how much that means to me. i guess it will take a long time for studying to become a habit but i will definitely try as hard as i can. again thank you so much i really appreciate this

its a good thing that you speak it out - even if its here. I do understand that you dont want to talk with friends about it
(I have the same struggles) but you have to talk about it! maybe there is a group out there, where you can speak about your feelings, depression... or try to write in a diary. It helps a lot to express your inner thoughts.
Even if it sounds ridiculous, you can do good things with good food. https://cleanplates.com/youtheory/eat-avoid-feeling-burned-out/ Also Sports or physical activity can help with depression. I know its hard to 'move' yourself when you are down but may it could be helpful

maybe try getting your phone out of your room to avoid all distractions so you can sleep better? i know its so hard and difficult but you have to wake up and take your classes. since its the start of the term hopefully you won’t be receiving alot of work so that you can catch up on your old ones. if you’re receiving alot of new assignments, focus on completing those instead of previous work. i have faith in you and i know you can do it!! hopefully this helps :(
im rooting of you!!

thankyou so muck dude I just hope i can just go through tomorrows classes and then start with my work, again thantyou so much for cheering me up :)

this sounds like me-

i messaged you about it you can check if you want tooo

you’re so kind ;( thank you for reading the post and taking time to write out advice for me, it really means alot. i will try making time for physical activities and read the article you recommended. thank you so much this literally made me cry

I understand how you feel completely. I won’t go into detail but the pandemic has also taken a toll on me mentally, physically, and everything—no matter how small, has become a major chore. I understand you! I don’t want to make this about me, just wanted to give you some examples so you know that you’re not alone. I’m also sorry that you had to go to the hospital :( I think that your root problem may not be the school work itself but has been worsened because of school. I’m not a doctor, but I’m speaking from my own experience as well. I’m also a huge procrastinator, so I know how difficult is can get. My advice for you is to break is down. Feeling overwhelmed isn’t going to get you anywhere, and you’ll become less productive with the more stress that accumulates. Prioritize certain work first based on the dates and create a schedule for yourself. I think writing things down helps so much. Keep a list of every single thing you need to do, and I promise you you’re going to feel less inundated with all of the work. When you see everything planned out in front of you, even if it is last minute, you’ll get a better sense of what it is you need to get done. When you finish something, check it off. It pushes you to finish the rest. After each task, give yourself a reward(something you’re looking forward to, like an episode of a tv show, or something to eat, etc). I think you should also remind yourself that this is the final stretch before break. Cut yourself some slack, and don’t be so hard on yourself. I’ll tell you that I regret stressing over things like exams and getting high marks. Yes they’re important, but don’t make them the center of your life, because once you do that, if one of center foundations cracks, the rest of you goes down with it. For exams, if you’re really down to the bone in terms of studying, I recommend using Anki. It’s a spaced repetition flash card program that helps you memorize faster and more efficiently. Its free on pc! I use it for my studying and it’s literally the best thing for just rote memorization. After your exams and everything else is over, push yourself to go outside. When I feel burnt out, just having the sun on my skin energizes me so much. Its not placebo or anything, the sun literally does that haha, but yeah just try to keep yourself calm. I know it’s easier said than done, but doing it this way rather than cramming everything quickly won’t help. Also this one is kind of random, but when you feel a headache coming on, i recommend putting on some Vicks capo run on the temples of your head and under your nose. It’s extremely relaxing and helps calm your body as well as that headache. And remember that the world isn’t ending even if you couldn’t study everything. Do what you can, take care of yourself, because you’re more important than some test, ok? I really hoped this helps you, and remember that you got this! You’ll be surprised what you can do

Also that should be vicks vapo rub, it auto corrected lol

reading this made me ugly cry in the bathroom. it really does amaze me that some random strangers on the internet care more about my mental health than my own family. I genuinely have no words but gratitude towards you, this truly means so much to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all the advice. I cant even put into words how much i needed to hear this. I can barely think coherently because of the tears but thank you thank you thank you. i promise i will try my best to improve. dont forget to take care of yourself too

I’m really glad to know I could help, and you don’t have to thank me at all! Just knowing this reached you is all I need :) I know what it’s like to have a family that doesn’t understand mental health issues or scream at you as a form of “assistance”, but I promised myself I would never be like my mother. In writing that message I hoped to give you the support I didn’t really receive from her. Though I don’t know who you are, I do know that you deserve better, you deserve to be happy, you deserve to feel free and not chained down by things that will ruin the quality of your life. I’ll make sure to take care of myself as well, and make sure to keep that promise :)

i definitely will. if i ever get better one day i will definitely tell you :) thank you soo much
