I don't think it is really abstract. I understand the stuff I need to learn. I just can't get to actually reading it..

Do you have previous knowledge of the material?

if so, you don't have to read the entire passage assigned. You just have to read what you don't know.

If there's a test at the end of the chapter, give yourself the test. If you answer them correctly without reading, then you might not have to read it. You know it already.

Maybe you could just skim over things. If the professor calls on you, just ask him the passage he/she is referring to.

It doesn't really work like that. I just read the books and understand the knowledge and can pass the try-out tests (but only after reading).
I just can't get myself to actually start something.
Just closed the curtains and wanted to do a very small thing but it already gave me a higher hartbeat and feeling out of control. I've been watching tv the whole day now and can't wait for this day to be over. But on the other hand, a new day will start then..

Maybe you just need some sleep. Tomorrow is a another day.

I had gone through similar things when I went to university. I had to develop some strategies. I ended up doing rather well, despite some stress.

You managed to do well, kraftiekortie? Hmm...Maybe university might work for me as well. I'm good at strategy [I don't play Fire Emblem for nothing!] I think as long as I didn't have to actually live there, I might do alright. I wonder if an online one would work...

My best friend did the dishes for me last night and he had to go to bed early and so did I. He also had to wake up quite early.. and so did I. I have the feeling I might be able to handle today. :)
For all those years these things come and go. Very sudden. I still don't understand how I can be super depressed at one moment and actually feeling okay the next moment. I hope my therapist can help me to balance this more and more so I don't go up and down to much all the time. It is so tiring and sometimes I'm even impressed and surprised by myself about this.

Just know that you have talent (I wish I had your talent!)

You've already accomplished much. You will probably accomplish more.

Kuraudo:

Online might be good for you. But going to class and meeting people is also good.

You'll succeed at university if you follow all syllabi and don't allow yourself to get behind.
