I am having just a bad couple of weeks and I just can’t function. I have a presentation Tuesday and a final Wednesday. I can’t, I just can’t. I don’t know why I haven’t been on top of things but why can’t I just study or do my presentation

Legit same thing happening to me. To get myself just barely functional, I cried it all out and started trying to practice CBT on myself more consciously a couple days ago. It still sucks tho. wonder if i’m just delaying a breakdown until after finals.

What cbt like I vaguely know what it is cuz I did it professionally with kids but not for too long. I ran out of underwear and haven’t done my laundry for 1 and a half to 2 weeks so I just did 4 loads of laundry including my comforter and sheets for a refresh idk if that’s good but I thought to try

Cognitive behavioral therapy. A past therapist of mine taught me it really boils down to this: Thoughts influence/become feelings, & feelings influence/become behavior. The specific mechanism for influencing this chain that I was taught is that after you think a negative thought about yourself, you then force yourself to think a positive thought refuting/denying what the negative one said. Doesn’t matter if you believe the positive one or not.

I know it sounds kinda dumb. But it may help at least tiny bit after a day or 2.
