i've been finding it hard to deal with the situation that i have zero motivation for uni. i think this is an adhd thing maybe, but i often feel like i can be extremely excited and motivated for something, but after a while i might lose that and then it doesn't just get hard for me to continue with it but it turns into a chore and it's all consuming and i start hating every second of it and that i have to think about it all the time. i've tried hard to fight through it, but at this point it just feels to me like i absolutely HAVE to take a break if i want it to get better. i need to get some distance from it, until i WANT to do it again.

this is hard because i feel like i'm giving up and like there's no guarantee that i'll feel better after a break. but i've been considering it for a while and now i am pretty sure that after this semester, i'll take a break from uni and find a job, try to do some programming in my free time, whatever i wanna do, so i become more passionate about it again and remember why i wanted to do it - which is because i enjoy programming and want to get into it, not because of academia. i think the worst case is i'll find a job and not want to get back to uni and not get my degree and earn a bit less. but i think that would still be ok?

my only problem about this is that i'm not sure if i'm seeing this objectively but just twisting and turning it the way i want it. but i also kind of need this decision, a finish line in sight, not another year or more ahead in which i have to write my bachelor's thesis. i'm so scared of it, and i cannot do that in my current state where i want to NOT do anything for uni with such a passion. it's not just "eh, i'm too lazy for it right now". it's more like "i don't want to i don't want to please don't make me".
and i just wish i didn't have to finish the semester first.there's so much left to do and i'm so low on energy.

@morae thanks for the support sweetie 💜 *big squishy hug*
yes, that's what i'm thinking/hoping. i've made the experience that i just don't get anything out of things i have to force myself and hate doing, because i just do them somehow and half-assed and i sure as hell won't learn very much that way

@mimtschan *hugs* these are totally valid feelings to have. you shouldn't have to stick with something you're not getting anything but pain out of! if you can take a break and come back to it later, that's awesome. you might find a renewed focus one way or the other.
