Do I have Burnout? (lemmy.world)

I really just need to talk about this to someone. I'm in college and I've always loved to learn, but now I don't feel motivated do my school work or to study, but at the same time, when a test roles around and I don't know how to answer the questions I get stressed and care about trying to do well. I've also always beaten myself over the head about having good grades, my parents never had to push me to do good in school. I'm just so stressed about it, the semester is ending soon, and I'm scared I'm gonna fail 2 classes which will be then first time I've ever failed a class.

Burnout, stress, depression, overwhelmed, any number of things could be going on.

Talk to your professors and an advisor, see what resources they have for you.

But also understand this says NOTHING bad about you, and in fact recognizing you are struggling and need help is a good sign.
