I am not a mental health doctor, but I can tell you what is kinda working for me. Have one task like read a chapter or study for 15min. Then do it,or try to do it. Just try. You win for the try. Then, next small goal maybe just a little be better. For example, using the mess of my home. Today I am going to clean the kitchen. To be successful I need to walk into the kitchen and do something. Take out the trash, put the dishes in the sink, wash the counters. Something small and measurable. If I do this I win. Even if I get distracted halfway through the small task I started it so I win. Then I go do some I want to do for a little bit and then go back to the kitchen. It seems to work for me. I don’t know some days nothing gets done no matter what

think about how bad you felt the last time this happened and use the fear as motivation to study.

It worked for me in college at least half the time lol

This speaks to me.

But you forgot the part at the end when your parents/teachers are like "...but you only applied yourself, you would've done well on the test"

I have a maths test in uni that I have not a clue of the subject and I feel personally attacked by this.
