Withdraw from the class or negotiate an incomplete. Try again next semester. You can’t force it sometimes. Pick one or two classes in the semester that you think you can grind it out in (and even here just aim for a C+). If you can’t do this for any of them, just withdraw from everything.
Then stare at the wall. I’m serious. Wake up every day and stare at the wall until you are so bored you want to open a textbook. Then register for only 1 class next semester and slowly ramp back up to 5 classes over the next two semesters. If you find you are able to stare at a wall and still feel nothing (you feel comfortable with the consequences of doing nothing, even failing), then you are in some crazy dangerous territory. I’ve seen this happen to myself and people close to me. It’s not as simple as the task/goal being beyond you. It’s some other insanity. I’ve seen really smart people unable to bring themselves to do basic stuff on a regular basis due to some kind of hang up. You need a cold shower, ice thrown at you, something, someone needs to shake you violently basically.
Alternatively, lie to a shrink and get an Adderral script.
