Struggling with College Assignments and Burnout

Not feeling joy in things is a big part of depression. Maybe speak to a doctor about it if you would like. What helps me get started when overwhelmed is talking through what I have to do with someone else. Like maybe you could tell them you are overwhelmed and you want to tell them what chapters you have to read. That helps me get interested in what the chapter is and then it’s easier to do it. Also maybe make a checklist or some type of reward for when you finish one. And if you have an online textbook, see if you can have it read aloud to you and you can watch it. That is a lot easier than having to motivate yourself to keep reading.

I've been there, usually when I'm getting burnt out like that I look for something new, new movies new activities. Obviously money plays into everything but I would recommend trying something just midly out of your comfort zone, maybe a new instrument or different art style if you're into art. I know that alot of us on the spectrum like our creature comforts and movies can be one of those I would recommend stepping slightly out of what you're used to in the movie area. That being said it's also perfectly acceptable to just relax a day, even if it bugs you to be doing nothing forcing yourself to do nothing will make you feel more motivated to do what you enjoy
