How to get motivated for life/school?

[LaureenVO]

Hi, I am a 16 year old girl. Before you judge me based on the question I asked, please read this.

I recently lost my motivation for everything. Even the one thing I enjoy the most, editing. Anyways, I have also lost motivation for school. I mean, if i don't have motivation to make myself some food or take care of myself, then how do people expect me to have motivation for school?

This entire school year I haven't done a single thing about school. I literally can't remember one thing I have learnt this year. And I am not dumb or stupid. I actually am pretty smart if I say myself. That's why I still have okay grades. However school is getting harder and I can't guess everything anymore.

Please give me tips on how to get motivation:

That definitely sounds like you're suffering from depression, I would suggest seeing a therapist is psychologist to get some proper help. But if that's unavailable or something else then may I suggest making lists of what you need to do, it helps to organise your thoughts and make the tasks seem less daunting which can help you with actually doing things. Just take it one step at a time and don't beat yourself up if you can't do something right away, this is a time for taking care of yourself. Good luck

I get that lmao bein depressed. During this year it has been really hard for motivation since we have the choice not to learn or overall it gets overwhelming for us. better start whipping out those apps like Photomath or Brainly lmaoo. But I’d just give urself time to gain motivation but just start by dragging urself simply taking a shower or sleeping ewrly for school cuz that’s also a big factor. When u sleep late and wakeup for school it’s harder to concentrate to do the work and leads to other problems of feeling overwhelmed n shit. Just do the simple self care things u do and don’t be on your phone for a while put your phone or any device away and focus on something else which will lead u to doing more things for yourself

Its hard everyone responds to differnt things maybe buy some books on pstive thinking and self help books constantly remind yourself off whatever goal u have and push for it as no one can make u motivated u have to truly want it

You sound like you’re depressed. If you can I would recommend talking to a therapist to address depressive symptoms. I think that is the underlying problem that when addressed you’ll find your motivation is back

Are your parents toxic? I also had a same experience like you when I was 16-17. My grandmother passed away and i took science stream mindlessly. I didn't took care of myself. Instead of sympathizing with me, my mother always shouted at me, abused me and criticized me, told me that I'm a loser and didn't even let me pursue my career in acting. Then my evil mother manipulated me to take medical degree. I ended up quitting my major.

From your description, it would seem you're depressed.
The best thng would be to talk to a counselor or a therapist about it.
They'll be able to help you better.
