Lacking all motivation

Published

Hello. I start back for my junior year of my BSN program on Monday. I honestly don't know what to do. I have previously been a very studious, determined, and motivated student. I have a 3.687 GPA and my professors all admire my work ethic, but over the past year, I feel like I've just been slowly falling apart. Especially last semester and this summer, I have been extremely anxious and more recently I just have no motivation to do anything. I don't even want to get up and that is even a struggle. All I want to do is sleep. I had meant to review over the summer, but my materials have been virtually untouched. I am so worried if I can even get through the semester and clinicals mentally. I really want to, but then again, it feels like I'm fighting a losing battle. I guess I could just really use some encouragement or advice.

You aren’t alone. I bet if you brought it up with your fellow students you’d find a dozen others you see everyday feeling the same way. That said, stay ahead of it. When anxiety gets bad it will kick your butt so do something sooner rather than later, even if it is downloading headspace and meditating every day.

Thank you.
