Why do I feel like I'm stuck?
Hi, this is my first post on something like this. And honestly I could just use a bit of motivation or kindness. Lately I've just been feeling like I'm stuck in one place, running on a treadmill. I'm currently in school, and I consider myself an okay student, but lately I've only been passing with C's. I'm trying really hard, but I don't seem to go anywhere. Are you still think that if you put in a lot of effort, you would get a good result. But obviously that is not the case.
I'm also just finding myself wanting someone to tell me they're proud of me. College is rough, I feel kind of lost.
Not only that but when I'm alone, I don't seem to feel like a human being. I know that sounds strange, but it's the only way I can really describe it. I just kind of sit there. On the couch, I don't want to watch tv, I don't want to draw, I just sit there and fret over all the things I need to do. Deadlines, maintenance, work. And it makes me wonder what am I doing this all for? I'm 23, I should be seeing my friends. I should be out and about. But I'm not, I stay home, I isolate myself, and that's all I seem to want to do. Anybody know what's wrong? Or have any advice?
@jintinsley you are not alone. When I was your age there was a lot of uncertainty and thinking thinking thinking which way to go. It is not easy.

I find that setting little goals for myself really helps me. I make a list of some things that need to be done and pick something I think I can handle.
