I feel like I need to talk to someone... but I don't know what about.

I need a means to express how I feel. I feel so lazy... like the most lazy person in the world. I don't study, I don't do my homework, and I'm afraid that somebody is going to come to me and say, you are lazy, you are not depressed, be ashamed of yourself for being so lazy and now go be a worthless dole bludger with no friends or family.

The problem is, I can't call back a psychologist... once again.. I am too lazy. I don't really work well with a psychologist because that whole professional relationship thing doesn't work for me.

I would love to just lie in my bed and sleeeeep forever... or maybe hibernate until the end of the hsc and be able to get into the course I want with no worries.

The other dilema I'm having every day, is whether I'm ready to go straight to uni. I'm to lazy to do homework at school where they harass you about it, how the heck am I supposed to deal at uni where everything is self initiated...

Seriously thinking of taking a gap year, but then fear takes over me because what do I do for that year? I'm taken out into an unknown work world.. I'll lose touch with all my school friends because I'm lazy, and I wont be making any new ones coz I'll be at work with a bunch of people much older than me..

Not that I'm very socially active at all, but i'm worried that I'll become a hermit, only leaving the house to work, and then eventually I wont even be bothered to work anymore... then my mum will kick me out for being a jobless moocher...

It's all too stressful... and I definitely know that I can't repeat year 12.. I just can't do that, I cant take another year of school, especially having to go and make new friends... with my social phobia and agoraphobia...

Everyone I know is so caught up in their own affairs.. my friends in their own HSC and stuff... and my mum basically works full time... but we've never been close anyway... my sister is too young to understand... my dad has his own partner and 2 children and business to run.

I know my mind is the thing making the meds not work.. I know I need counselling to make the meds work and such. I do know that, but I just cant deal with it on top of the hsc...

ahhh i'm losing it again!

I suppose you have a choice ... second half of the year... work hard ... try to gain better scores... but the thing I would ask you to challenge is your perception of your self... you think you are lazy... so maybe you will be lazy if you think that... why try when you are just lazy... you need to challenge your thoughts about how you define yourself...

take care

Perhaps see a life coach rather then a psych? Link the appt in with something you like- or book with someone who charges you if you miss an appt... At the end of the day you have to snap out of the lazyness or everything will fall apart. speaking from experiance here!!!!!! it sucks and is so hard so just do it one step at a time. even if its just putting the rubbish out or leaving to fill the car up with petrol (if you are a billionaire that is).

as far as taking a gap year goes- go for it!! I left school at 15 and am still in contact with school friend (I live with one) and working with older people is great!

Nothing

You have this semester to work hard at your HSC and you should try to do some work on it and work out what courses you want to do and speak to the school counsellor about them/your ability to get into them/to do the work and the like. Uni is no easy picnic - know it from experience. Took 9.5 years to do my first degree and that was while I was working and had to drop subjects because of work and repeat subjects because of fails. Gap year/half year sounds like a good option. Perhaps you could get some part time work.

Ring your psychologist and talk to them - they are there to help you get out of this lazyiness that seems to have hit you.

Go Nothing!!!

One thing at a time. All decisions re Uni are hypothetical and can be made later. Your focus has to be the HSC. Please see a Counsellor at your School, they specialise in this very problem and will help you get through.
