How to recover from extreme procrastination?
Sorry this is pretty long but this is the root of all the problems in my life and I'll love you forever and won't forget if you can help me.. I have nobody else to turn to, and my life has been going on the wrong track for years. Please get me on the right one, I want to be there so bad but I just don't know how to
Gosh I've just messed everything up. I'm a high school junior and this should be my year but so far I'm failing 6 out of 8 of my classes, because of procrastination! I've been doing this since 6th grade but every year it just seems to escalate! And this year Im in honors and college classes and im smart enough to do these classes but for some reason I can't do the work! over the summer I was so stupid and put off my summer reading assingment. and then now im still behind and the first marking period ends in 2 weeks.
on friday my coach kicked me off the volleyball team for 3 weeks until I get my grades above failing, and she said I have a week to make up my grades or I won't be able to play the remainder of the season. I still havent told my parents or anybody.. I feel so ashamed but at the same time indifferent.. cause my coach threatened it before so I sort of expected it. Im the only junior on varsity too.. if i started working out earlier in the summer i would be on varsity. theres even sophomores on varsity!
I really want to quit.. I think I have some type of ADD or something but I really don't want medicine. Its gotten to the point where I've stayed home from school twice to do homework, and when I stay home I barely even get anything done. Im afraid to go to school cause of the consequences. Im really afraid cause tomorrow I have 2 big tests and Im not prepared cause I have wasted my entire weekend.
Im too afraid to tell anybody IRL.. its too embarassing. It would really make my parents mad and upset because my sister is depressed so they focus most of the attention on her and dont realize how screwed up my work has become. i dont know why i am doing this when i have such high hopes. when i come home i go on the internet and waste so much time just talking to strangers. it just gives me this high like when coming back from a stressful school day and stuff. but at the same time i feel guilty for doing it.. like right now
im gonna stay up all night to do science homework and make myself throw up after 2nd period so i dont have to deal with the last 3 classes i am bombing and take the big math test another day.. thats what its come down to. im afraid to tell my counselor.. and im just mad that nobody has noticed my problems and really offered me help. and i realize i have to do it myself but ive already dug myself so far in this hole and its so hard to come out. i have so much make up work all the time (i have work from around the beginning of the school year, nearly 7 weeks ago!) and im just so overwhelmed and mad at my self. im just being lazy.. im just being lazy.. how can I rebound from this?
I thought last year was pretty rough with procrastination and this year is even worse. when i work hard im a perfectionist and i get 100%s. sometimes i even have perfect work and i get a lower grade than someone who did mediocre work cause i hand it in late
can you help me in any way???? i dont want to throw my life away from this. i tried looking at quotes but i just have so much make up work.. what is the best way for me to get it done this week, while dealing with school everyday.
thanks so much if you can help cause it will really change my life 100%. my life would be so much better if i didnt procrastinate. id get straight As, i wouldnt be in such a bad mood cause of bad grades all the time, id be able to spend more time making friends, id be able to sleep more (i get a good night of sleep at least once a month), id exercise more, my parents would want to buy me more things, id have time to learn the guitar and pursue my other interests, etc.

hello there,
i didn't know what procrastinate was. I think you should really talk to the doctor, please. Making yourself sick won't help anything and could really make you ill. Please see someone no matter how ashame or embarrased you are you need to have professional advice and help. They can give you mental and physical activities to do to help you, and get you in touch with other people. So please seek help. Remember what life was like before it got really bad, you want to leave a normal life without this problem, teenagers have enough hassle and stress without that.
please get help and tell me what happened.
hope this helped
