I got my exams in a few months however whenever I sit down to do some studying I feel like blowing a hole in my fucking temple. Like I sit down I get the initial basic concepts of a advanced physics topic then as the examples or explanations get even more retarded I dont understand it and I give up as I get feeling of rage and frustration of not just easily knowing the topic and couldnt give less of a shit about it as my head starts to ache. I can barely sit 20 mins before I wanna end it. I wish I could just understand it quick and master exam qs . Its just pissing me off as i am curently 16 and have time to careermax a little ensuring I get top grades in my A-levels (SATs for US-cels) for a top uni place and my ADHDesque brain refuses to accept info into my memory unless I have concrete reasoning backing the specfic segment of info. I dont even know what has happened I remember a few years ago I would literally get the highest in my year/grade comfortably in most core subjects such as maths and sciences despite going to one of the most prestige schools in the UK . Now I am barely above average not enough for places at cambridge , oxford , Harvard ; now I am washed .

Anyone got any tips that could help?
 
I know that feel bro...
I have this trick that I use. You should too.
Whenever I sit down to work on my computer, I give a promise to myself that I WILL NOT OPEN ANY UNNECESSARY TABS UNTIL I'M FINISHED. A promise is a promise, and I cannot lie to myself. If I break this promise then that means I'm weak. I won't respect myself then, and therefore nobody else will either.
Take the PromisePill.

  1. Delete whatever social media you have, or create an account where you only see careermaxxxxed people for motivation and making the shit more salient (high IQ word for prominent) in your brain.
  2. Maybe you for real developed ADHD, get it checked, don't fall for the "JUST HUSTLE BRO", "it's all discipline bro" memes - even though I believe 90% of people use the shit as a cop-out there are also legit cases of ADHD that should be addressed.
  3. Have clear distinction between your work and rest days. When you work, you work hard, when you rest, you don't think about work - NOTHING.
  4. Lower the activation threshold (high IQ word for the minimum motivation/dopamine needed to start and keep working) of studying in your brain. For example, if you leave the lecture having not understand a single word, your brain will force you to keep out of studying a lot stronger than if you grasped the fundamentals in the class and just need to polish now. Or, take private lectures (if your family can support it). The more your perceived effort for something is, the more your brain will try to keep you away from it.
    Understand that your brain runs on survival primarily and working hard burns a lot of calories which is against it.
  5. Make studying bring you status, or friends in school. For example, when I was a nerd, I wasn't regarded as a weirdo because I would help everyone and cheat during the exams - give answers to people etc.
You are young, so I won't give names and "how to get" information on any chemicals, try these and see where it goes.

I will try implementing these despite my brain telling me studying is cope. Like one of my biggest blocks are is that " I am studying just to live a fucking average life." then I get charged with so much negative momentum its so hard to get out off the mindset cos of my success /money quite a few years away if I follow this route. Its all horseshit maybe I would have enough motivation to work if I had enough of a good life in general which is a given if you are chadlite/chad. But we move. I will implement it and hopefully it works.

You can use the average life as a safety net while building some shit on the side. No need to go high-school dropout Iman Gadzhi mode.

Was just watching Iman Gadzhi :lul: just now but my parents are constantly on my case just dissing me so I have no option otherwise its social suicide in my community to go sub-Cambridge also its a good status max within my community but I get your point its just difficult to achieve at the expense of my happiness just constantly feeling like a fucking failure.

U a UKcel? Confused because u mentioned Harvard as well. Anyways, elaborate on the social suicide? As in within your high-school community? Or your parents and family?

I am a Uk cel . I mentioned Harvard as well as its one of the top uni ofc at the level of cambridge and oxford its not a main target cuz obviously I would need to move to the US to go there plus it is so competitive its not feasible to get in especially as a foreign student.
As in mentioning social suicide I meant I come from a highly competitive indian society in which my parents are from where the average kid goes to Cambridge and its not even an over-exaggeration anything less you are looked down upon as scum if you got to any average Uni so basically it would be social suicide in the sense that in social gathering and function I would essentially have zero status if I am not successful and would be looked down upon. Going to a top-uni would only increase my chances of social circle maxxing in that particular sense as well a halo effect from school colleagues as they would probably deduce me as a person of use.

AND OFC I FORGOT THE MAIN FACTOR ARE MY PARENTS , I WOULD PROBABLY GET GASLIGHTED TO THE POINT OF ROPING BY MY PARENTS NOT THAT I ALREADY AM. ITS TOUGH AND OFC MY GENERAL LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES DONT GIVE ME A GREAT BOOST OF MOTIVATION BEING A UPPER MTN MEANS SOCIALLY YOU DONT HAVE A CRAZY POSTIVE FEEDBACK LOOP AND ARE THUS DISTRACTED IN OTHER SHIT LIKE LOOKSMAXXING GYMAXXING DEPRESSION FROM SUB-PAR LOOKS . MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE NO REASON TO LIVE AND FEEL LIKE ENDING IT MOST OF THE TIME.
