Hello everyone, I am a 23yo Senior in electrical engineering hoping to find the light at the end of the tunnel…I will try to make this as short as i can, for the past 6-8 months i have been through some difficulties in my life that have really impacted me and mostly my education in a very negative way. What seemed to be relatively easy classes and concepts for me to grasp, are now almost impossible to follow and understand, what mostly affects me is the lack of motivation. I did very good in college for the most part during my first 4 years, but now i am really struggling with my classes. I have tried very hard to find the motivation and desire to understand my field that i once had but its simply impossible. I feel extreme lack of intrest, although i care about and wish to accomplish my career. I am in a very difficult spot where i only need a few classes to finish my degree, but seems so far away, at the same time its hard for me to even get out of bed, how could i finish my few classes? I don’t want to confront my parents with this issue because i feel very bad to give them that burden,
and that would really make me feel even worse. How can i fix this mess and land back on my tracks in order to make my final push for graduation?
Get to your campus health center for a mental health evaluation, there may be some treatment options that could help. Go work with your advisor for a plan for getting the degree done. Take it step by step, systematically. Talk to your parents. Their support could be of benefit.
