Hi,

I am coming here seeking advice. I am 21, studying and am currently doing an internship. But it’s not going well. I am struggling so much with getting disctracted and watching youtube. Even though i often do want to do someting, i often don’t do anything except watch youtube. When i do actually do something it’s often not what i need to do. It’s getting really tiring and i just want to be able to do the shit i want and need to do. I often watch youtube to have some sound, but i can’t turn it off after, it is also often the same with listening to podcasts. Often when i try to improve it only works for about a week and then i fall back into my same habbits. Do many of you struggle with this, and what do you do about it?

    Are you getting treatment? That’s your first step, it can be very difficult to keep on track if you’re flying solo.

        I’m not a doctor, but those meds can’t be safe. Some can last a while, but those are sealed. If yours are in a bottle, they can go bad, absorb moisture, and go stale. That’s what I’ve been told by others.
