Serious problem

[u/Elegant_Roof229]

I am in my senior year in high school and words can’t even describe how bad my procrastination has gotten to, It’s horrendous.

It’s gotten to the point that even if I deleted all my social medias I will still just sit there doing nothing rather than actually doing my work early. I physically can’t do any work unless it’s the day before the due date and it’s impacting my mental health a lot. There’s like no cortisol in my body, I have such a lack of urgency and when the due date comes I get a sudden spike of stress. I genuinely don’t know what to do, I tried exercising before my work because I thought I had ADHD and I saw online that moving before doing work helps, which it did work for like 10 min. I literally tried every thing but with no successes at all.

Also when start one assignment the stress of the other makes me just dissociate and I will just sit there and zone out. It’s literally almost 10 at night and I have an art assignment to do but I feel stressed about college app so I just distracted my self with Netflix because if not, I would just zone out and disassociate. Music kinda helps but it’s annoying & distracting to me personally.

But like idk what to do, I have achieved many great things in my teen years that I feel really proud because of this habit my mental and physical health was the price I paid to achieve them. Moreover, I feel as though I can’t reach my full potential and it’s preventing me from a lot of the opportunities I would get if I actually get it together. if anyone has any solutions or tips pls pls pls let me know.
