It's been a while since I came on here or even posted. Recently I've been having moments of not being able to focus or become suddenly uninterested. The usual stuff to keep me focused hasn't been working(aka: taking a shower, drinking vitamins, stretching, etc). I'm already starting to fall behind in school because of this. It's hard to explain to my teacher without her jumping to the conclusion that I'm just being lazy. I'm in therapy for anxiety already but I haven't been diagnosed with depression. It's even hard for me to draw some days(which is little thinking effort for me) and it's something I want to do for the rest of my life. I want to see if this is just temporary or just a slum I'm in. Thanks

I was in the exact same slump for almost 3 months. It got to the point where I didn't even get out of bed for a week. I had no motivation and my head, which I usually have to fight to slow down, was blank. I started having sporadic headaches and eventually migraines that were probably psychosomatic. I wasn't diagnosed with depression either and don't see a therapist but I can tell you at least that it may be temporary but temporary can be a long time. For me, eventually the headaches stopped, and i regained at least some of my motivation and could think normally again. For me, I couldn't even write and that happens to be what I want to do for the rest of my life. I would also implore you to regulate your eating and sleeping habits because I know irregularity there may have contributed or at least exacerbated my symptoms. I would seek diagnosis and understanding from your therapist before you bring it up to your teachers. Sorry I rambled and i hope you feel better and find focus and motivation soon.
