Doesn’t it hurt sometimes?

I’ve been there. Last year I was struggling with staying on top of studies so I gave myself some time off which felt very nice. But resuming things really felt like I was constantly crashing but couldn’t figure out why or how. Ended up just leaving the course altogether but the feeling of relief went away when I no longer had my deadlines and targets. I couldn’t enjoy the things I was procrastinating with, tried new things and I still couldn’t enjoy the experience as I kept getting frustrated thinking I was wasting my time. Started 2 jobs and a few courses and now I’m back to where I started. This time I have a bit more control over the anxiety so hopefully it gets better from here onwards.
