I know the exact feeling. I am almost sure that I am depressed as of the last 2 months. I have written less than a page of code (last sem in uni) but have the IDEE open in front of me 24/7. Stopped working out, stopped developing my hobbies. For context, I used to be a proper high functioning extrovert and juggled full grad level course-load with good grades through 2017 and 2018. have even landed my dream job starting in July. It is frustrating to see people tell me to just get on with it. I am fully motivated to do the tasks that are piling on, but the absolute sense of mental inertia is something no one understands. I have blocked websites. Avoided "time wasting events" and stayed up at night hoping to do something. But, it has failed literally every time. I am slowly inching towards a solution, and it has to do with making the task more mentally accessible. Instead of working out at the gym, I do pullups on my door frame every-time I stand up from my laptop. I try to walk to the campus whenever needed instead of taking public transport to catch some sun and get some exercise. Instead of going to the gym, I follow the feet of my friend who is also going to the gym, just so I reach there first. (not even lying) Making the task a series of small and achievable smaller tasks seems to have been the best approach so far. It's not perfect, but I am getting there. I am however, sure about what my 'depression' (not diagnosed, so can't be too sure) is based in. My friends have all graduated and I have no peer group left. My relationship with my project guide is purely professional, and I feel like an imposter to ask him questions about simple things when I get stuck. Lastly, I am stuck in the project in a spot where the problem can't be broken down into a series of small steps. I have seen plenty of others stuck in such a situation during their time in grad school. In almost all cases, external support is what works best. A new group of friends you can rely on. A gym buddy who will pull you to the gym. A mentor who is willing to go beyond call of duty to walk you through the block. At this point, I can't wait to graduate and move to the new town, where I have established friends and get a breath of fresh air. Hopefully, that change will be sufficient.
