Sounds like you're in a rut and burnt out. If you get to the stage that you're experiencing extreme apathy or dark thoughts then definitely call a help line and get some free counseling. Assuming that you're not depressed but just in a rut here are some things that work for me but your mileage may vary: - go outside. Go for a walk or a hike in nature. - invite friends over and cook them dinner. While youre cooking as them about their lives and how they are going. Be interested in how they really are. Once you do that, communication will start flowing. - block your work up. You could try the Pomodoro technique etc. take blocks of time to relax too. - get some exercise. - ask your parents about what it was like growing up for them. You may get a deeper understanding of why they are restrictive. - get your friend to set you up on a blind date. - write a page of free form stream of conscious every morning for a week. First thing when you get up. At the end of the week read them. Good luck buddy
