Suffering through severe procrastination....My time is running out and I still procrastinate, I don't understand why I'm doing what I'm doing, someone please help.

​

I have a severe procrastination habit it started about 2-3 years ago when I was 15..

I genuinely can't for the life of me sit down and fucking study man... I really don't know why there are times (very few and rare) when I do start studying and I understand stuff but after 20\~ mins I get bored and say that I will do it later and never return.

I don't understand why, and I just want to quit this shit, and no I don't waste my time because I FORGET the task.. I ACTIVELY procrastinate, ik it's bad and Ik all the reasons I SHOULD JUST START STUDYING but I still can't do it...

In the previous 2-3 years I literally don't want to do anything I just sit in my room staring at the wall meaninglessly it just watching my phone doom scrolling, the only social interaction I get is once in a while with close friends and daily in my coaching for studies and yes I don't watch my phone or be meaningless at that time but other times? I literally cannot focus on anything.

I thought I might have adhd for some reason and decided to test it out by 3-4 doctors over the span of previous 2-3 years and NOPE I don't have adhd, just severe procrastination habit..

And it's only regarding studies, I can play games for hours and do any dopamine stimulating things for hours.

Someone please drop any advice you think might help me....

My 14 year old sister thinks our family is toxic, and also she has social media addiction, we have no idea why? I'm (17F)

​

My 14 year old sister has been ranting about how our family is toxic and wants to move into a hostel to 'live freely.'

The thing is, our parents are genuinely supportive they never pressure us about marks, we get love and support to do what we want In fact I will go as far to say that they prioritize her more than me.

we always get what we need, and they actually listen to us. Me and all my cousins grew up in the same environment and none of us ever felt this way. Even I'm giving JEE right now and I feel zero pressure from them.

She had lots of outbreaks recently because we confronted her about her social media addiction, she scrolls reels until 3-4am every night, sleeps randomly around the house the sofa or the floor even and doesn't let us relocate her and even curses at anyone who tries to, and doesn't really listen to anyone anymore.

We genuinely don't know where this 'toxic family' idea is coming from and we're confused because nothing has changed at home.

My parents are confused because such a thing ha snever happened before and this has been happening since past few months now.

Is this a social media thing? A sleep thing? We don't know how to talk to her without it turning into a bigger fight. Any advice would help. She starts to curse at us and stuff if we even talk to her about her scrolling phone til 3-4 am.. this all began when my mother told her no more social media or phone after 10pm since she believed its not healthy.

(For some context of you have any doubts regarding anything please do ask I want to help my sis? Also I have checked her search history when she was asleep, and all her YouTube scrolls are those of women/men who are living their live freely or toxic Indian families (I did watch these videos but I don't think the resemble our family even slightly) or in luxury without any problems like y'know the rich ones?) We aren't poor ourselves we belong to an upper middle class family..... Although I'm unsure if that is the root cause since she says she wants to live far away from my parents and in a hostel or something where everything is available like what she wants to eat etc without money problems...

Bas ek bar read karlo mein chote mein likh rhi hu.

Meri 11th wasted hai puri, like sach me wasted hai- maine saari classes toh attend ki thi par kabhi kuch bhi solve nahi kiya aur test mein guesswork/thodi cheating se 70-90 ke beech lait thi.

Par ab mujhe seriously padhna hai, like genuinely padhna hai par mujhe nahi bta start hi kaise karu, like oneshots/lecture etc, aur merko sab bol rahe hai ki lecture ke liye time nahi bacha. Par phir log bolte hai ki oneshots se kabhi nahi hoga.

Aur mere offline sir ko jab himmat se btaya ye sab tab woh bole ki terese JEE ab clear nahi hogi.... Tune bohot time waste kar diya hai aur abhi jitna time hai uss mein 11th+12th karna scratch se aur uske sath pyqs+module kar mushkil hai....

Please koi toh guide kardo thoda.
