I haven't been going to class or going to the Y or going outside at all. I don't step outside unless I have an appointment.
I'm going to go to class today. I hope I can do it. I am very behind.
I've been obsessed with Internet marketing, thinking it will be the key to my success in life. It isn't going all that well. I've only earned about $7 in total and I don't even know if I will actually get the money.
A few days ago someone called me a spammer on Twitter because I tweet out 2 ads a day. I cried a lot.
I'm OK again.
Pdoc wants me to get a part-time job, she thinks my life is too comfortable. She's decreasing my meds to give me more anxiety. I seem to have a lot of apathy.
I really want a part-time job on top of the one class. I need to make some money for the Babble trip.
I feel better when I am being a productive member of society.

Hi Deneb,
I so sorry to hear school is going badly. I know it can be frustrating when your heart isn't really in it and there's no motivation.
Can I suggest you meet with your professor asap. Explain that you want to learn and pass the course but things are a bit stressful now. Ask for some additional insight from him/her on the subject matter.
Basically, spend some time with the professor and really show what made you originally interested. This could help him/her feel less inclined to think you are just slacking.I wish I knew what the key for success was. But I don't think there is only one key. I think there are many various things people must do to be successful. Maybe Donald Trump would have better advice on that.
I wonder if the internet marketing can be a hobby for right now? And as a hobby should not take up that much of your life. How about setting a date for yourself and if you've not seen results you are comfortable with, then you will scale it back to a hobby and try to apply that focus to class, if possible?
Is there any way to use the marketing in your school work. Maybe a comparison or analysis? (sorry, I don't remember what the class was exactly)Do you think you are too comfortable? Extra income is good and if you would feel good doing a part-time job then I definitely encourage it. Maybe you can do work at school? or tutor?

Thanks Verloren
I can't say that things have been stressful lately because they haven't. I'm not stressed out. I think that's the problem, I need more stress. I just don't seem to have any motivation for school.
I think a part-time job would be good. I definitely need the money.
Deneb
