How can I focus on my studies?

[qpsns]

I want to forget depression and focus on my studies, but I don't know how.

For a start, if you are on social media, cut them out. Social media does nothing good to a person.

set small realistic goals, get a good study group, schedule your time and take care of your body and mind

I actually don't know the answer and I want it too. Depression makes me really contemplative and passive. Everything you set your eyes upon is covered with this slime of whatsthepointism.

I feel like I want to pass the rest of my days tending my garden, eating, walking in the woods, taking care of my dog and pacing.

@qpsns most important thing is to actually be interested in what you're studying. Not every class will be interesting, but those in your major should be. If not, probably better to reevaluate what you're going to school for to make sure you don't waste your time and money.

If you haven't tried them already, I'd really recommend getting on an antidepressant. Trouble focusing and lack of motivation is a huge symptom of depression that can really, actually be helped chemically. I promise, if you find the right one you'll notice a huge improvement! The curtain will lift a little at a time. <3

Maybe try nootropics and see if they help for focusing? I've tried them in the past and they really helped me.

Nootropics always help me out.
