This is my first time studying psychology in 12th grade and i started reading the first chapter and it felt like most of the thing's are about memorizing ( like intelligence topic)and I'm not sure how should I proceed .I understand ,When you sit down to study not every subject or topic feels interesting. Some topics or ch are just boring, the only thing you can do is get through them because you still want to get into a good college so you'll have to study it and give it ur best because in competitive exams they'll count whole of ur acquired marks and it's a good thing that we are human so we can do that.

I'm preparing for CUET so if you have any study tips, I'd really appreciate them. Especially when it comes to the mindset what mindset should I have while studying psychology and Is it all about memorizing ( based on -I've just read the first chapter ) should I read the book and then make notes and keep revising it till my exam ??

Hey, I'm 17, and I don't know what to do. First of all, I feel like I have a failure mindset. I've been struggling with this for about two years now. It wasn't really an addiction at first I would only do it when I felt very lonely. I never had strong urges, and it was pretty mild. But over the past few months, it's gotten so much worse. It's affecting my life in a really bad way, and I want things to go back to how they were two years ago. I feel like I'm missing out on so many good moments because of it. I've realized there's this negative part of my mind that seems to plant these triggers. It feels like it wants to see me destroy myself. Even when I genuinely don't want to do it, the thoughts keep coming back. (I have ADHD, and I don't take medication, so maybe it's because my brain is constantly looking for stimulation. I don't know.) It's affecting my life, and I don't want this anymore. I already know the pattern: I'll stay clean for a few days, then the urges become so strong that they overpower me, and I end up chatting with random creepy strangers online. I barely have any social interaction during the day. I don't go out much, and I don't have friends, so I spend a lot of time alone. I really want to change this.

As a person with ADHD, how do you deal with the voice in your head that constantly tells you everything is pointless? Whenever I get excited about a goal, a hobby, or trying to improve my future, my mind immediately starts pulling me in the opposite direction. It distracts me with ten different things, tells me none of it is worth the effort, and keeps pushing me back toward old habits because they're comfortable. It's very negative. Almost every time I try to take action on something meaningful, there's this mental resistance telling me to give up and go back to what's familiar, even if I know those habits aren't helping me. I keep reminding myself that if I want to change my reality, I have to change my actions. I can escape reality for a while, but I can't escape the consequences of it. Still, some days that pull toward comfort feels incredibly strong. It gets even worse late at night. When I'm trying to watch something, focus, learn, or work on myself, my mind becomes restless and keeps dragging my attention elsewhere.

I've already made some messy choices bcz of this voice (failed class 11) It's really heavy really heavy I hate to see myself like this I also wanna grow like other people get out this place work on my exam get into a good clg but nothing seems to go good . What helped you???
