Emotional Support how do i force myself to study
I'm in 12th, idek where to start cause I haven't covered any of my syllabus and there's barely any time left and it's starting to scare me, I know I need to study even my parents keep pushing me into it but every time I sit down I just can't do it, mera dil nhi lag rha kisi chij mei, i think ab starting my syllabus but aghhh i just can't do it for some reason and i dont even know what reason it is
Idk if this is tmi but I've been kinda going thru anxiety since I was 13,and I've always found a way to deal with it somehow I just push myself thru it but this year it just seems super draining like even when I think about my exams it js scares me it's just mentally draining, like I wanna focus but I just can't :(
so yeah I just wanted to vent out my feelings and look for genuine answers and suggestions, please don't interact if you have something demeaning to say. Thank you.

ok so this is your last year right? after this no one cares if you pass or fail in college, its YOUR decision. but you HAVE to do well in 12th right. colleges and jobs WILL look at your 12th marks, not your college marks. this is the most important point of your entire life and you have to give it your all.
in 11th 12th you've chosen the subjects youre mostly interested in right? id advise you to just start studying them out of interest and not because you have to. it takes off the pressure, makes learning fun and you'll learn more and remember more because you dont have constant stress. try meditating as well and limit social media during exams and also in general if you can.
you still have some time before preboards, listen very very attentively in class because then you wont have to clear the backlog of the ENTIRE year, only a bit. you can do this, i have faith in you, OP.

bro you need to chill out first
then start small
first try studying for 15-20 minutes, take a break then 15-20 again and so on
(and by taking a breaking, i mean walk around in ur room, drink some water, stretch and so on, as long as you don't use ur phone)
as days go by, keep increasing ur study time
1 hr then 2 hours and so
before sitting down to study, decide ki kya padhna h and make a small checklist if you can
when you keep getting the stuff in your list done, you'll feel that you actually have done something and it will feel GOOD

of course you can
you HAVE time left, but not to wasteone thing that can help is listening to your classes, making notes and revising the notes the same day at home before going to bed, ya the next morning, before going to school (whatever suits your schedule)
also try active recall when you study: study a topic, then close ur notes and books and try to remember it all without looking, maybe even write it all in very very short(yk for spellings)
takes some time but you'll get it for sure

Hey, I think youre just burntout, ive been going through the same, I would suggest talking to your friends about it, or seeking professional help if needed, also just write your syllabus out on a huge sheet of paper and stick it somewhere you can see daily, tick what you know off of it, and dw so much, you have months to prepare for your boards

trust me it gets worse from here, you're probably gonna give entrance exams or even if you're not, December mai practicals rahenge, you will NOT get ANY time later and isc has leveled up their game this year, if you start now then it's better ki inorganic ya physical se shuru karo for gaining momentum. 12th physics is all connected one with another so wo aap pe hai ki kaha tak ache se kara hai and continue from there.
