Often, particularly at school, I find myself overwhelmed by everything that I need to do. This causes me to become mentally paralyzed somehow, so that I do not do anything at all. I can spend hours just switching between my email, facebook, and this site without actually posting anything on any of them. I've gotten better at getting myself out of that loop, but even worse is where I will just lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. I have so much that I need to do that I can't handle it all. I do not understand how there are people who are so successful and do so much because it does not seem like I could accomplish the same amount of work in that amount of time.
For example, I have class in 8 minutes, then several hours of homework/meetings tonight, then wake up for class at 8 AM tomorrow. I feel so stupid; I can't understand the stuff that I am supposed to be learning. I would need to spend more time studying it. Basically, I would need to spend absolutely all of my time studying it. My mind often goes blank, and I don't even remember how to speak when that happens. I've had times when I couldn't fill out forms with my basic information like phone number and address because I couldn't remember (due to mind going blank). And I know that I know those things. Does anyone know if this is a condition, or does anyone experience anything similar? What do you think?
