I lack motivation to do anything

Post Reply New Topic

I lack motivation to do anything and it has been like this for months.
It started after i dropped out of high school back in May, i turned 18 in September. This year would have been my last year but it seemed like it would have been a waste of time anyways.
Iv'e always been bad at school and have had really bad things happen to me but that would take forever to explain. I thought i would feel better after leaving school and that i would get my GED, learn to drive and follow my dreams of becoming a comedian/youtuber.
But anytime i even THINK about doing anything to reach these goals i start to get really anxious and depressed and end up doing nothing.
My friends and family say that i need to just start doing anything even the smallest thing and then i will start to get back on track.
But the thought of doing anything besides sleeping or messing around on the internet makes me feel like my soul is being crushed.
At this rate i'm going to end up living with my parents forever and do nothing for the rest of my life.
How do i push though and do ANYTHING productive?

Well driving is really fun provided you successfully avoid the police and you're on the internet so getting a GED will be child's play for you. Seems like it would probably be good to do funny stuff for a while without fixating on your audience.
