Seeking mental help - student

Matt from Greenhithe

Hi there,
I’ve been really struggling with University, particularly with motivation and procrastination. I start off the semester doing really well, a top student, having so much will power, and then something changes in my brain after a month or so and I begin to spiral into an irrational state of avoidance of all uni work. Like I’d rather die then touch a text book. I end up doing little to no work at all and ultimately failing things. I’m great at learning things very fast last minute. But this obviously doesn’t work well in university. I really want to finish my degree but close to giving up as it’s taking a massive toll on my health. I’ve believed the idea that “I just need to do it there’s no magic solution” for too long, Ive tried my best and it keeps happening.

If anyone has any idea what’s going on here, or knows who I should speak to about this, please let me know. I’d be happy to pay you for some help.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
