Ouch, my brain...
I can't work. Yes, you heard me.
School work. I have a hella load of it to do, and I just can't motivate myself to do it. I get out the paper and the pens and the work and I look at it, form the answers in my head, but then just can't seem to write it down.
I want to work. I need to work. But I can't seem to do it. Also, I'm stressed to hell.
Can I have some solutions for stress? But not "listen to relaxing music" and not "take a long hot bath" because music doesn't relax me, and I don't own a bath.
Also, please if you could give me some ways to motivate myself, in general, but to do school work mostly? Drinking water seems to help a little, but I need a lot of "get up and go" attitude right now. Merci. ^_^

Dear brain freeze,
remember that even the most successful people in life had their road bumps. What kept them going was looking out for the main prize. Find your passion in what you want to do in life and realize that you have to overcome obstacles to get there. That way you'll have your own story to tell.

I know what you're talking about. Main problem is laziness, you just can't be bothered. You can't bring yourself to actually try even though you might really have the potential. All i can say is just do it and getting things done means less stress because you would have less on your mind including unfinished business.

I stared at this screen for 5 minutes. Didn't hear anything.

Motivation tips... well I don't have many. Just think about how your grades are being affected, and think about what you want to do when you become older. Like I either want to teach Algebra or to teach Family and Consumer Sciences, so I have to focus on reaching goals so I can make that possible (that sounds real corny) But seriously the only thing I have for motivation is to REALLY think about the grades you're making, what you want to do, and are you happy? If not then find a quite place and really WORK!! Sorry if that doesn't help, but I hope the stress thing did!

You should go see a doctor or talk to your parents. It seems like you have some form of ADD. the stress is probably caused because of your lack of ability to complete the tasks which you have at hand so i cant understand why 'taking a bath' or 'listening to music' doesnt help. If you have already tried something similar to this maybe you could work on the project with a friend because if you work with someone focused you are less likely to lose track of what you are trying to accomplish.
