Lately, school has been so stressful and scary for me and I'm having a very hard time with coping. This week I've had to finish two big assignments (essays, etc.) and I have two more due tomorrow. Even though I have a limited amount of time left and I NEED to go to bed tonight at a resonable time or I'm going to combust, I just can't seem to get myself to do the work.
I've always had this problem and I've always thought it was procrastination, but I am starting to think it's a bit different. With normal, routine assignments -I don't worry so much and if I do put them off, I eventually get around to thema nd when I do it's no big deal. But with things like essays and projects I get so panicky and upset that the mere thought of doing these assignments in itself upsets me, so I don't do them or avoid doing them. All I do is dread the frustration, the fear, the stress, and the lack of sleep that will result from doing them.
The irony of it is that when I do that I have less time and when I do manage to get myself to do them I'm under way more pressure. It's seems so silly, but then it gets in the way SO much!
Does anyone have similar problems? If so, how do you cope or overcome them?
