Help How do you peeps get stuff done in your day to day lives?

All I do is sit inside my room every single day, sleeping or scrolling. Whenever I get even remotely upset, my mind just immediately dissociates to what I mentioned. I could cut myself rn to sort of fight it off, but my arms and legs look hideous as is, and I don't have any matches to burn myself right now either

I can't focus during lectures, on upskilling, or anything for that matter... It's been more than two years like this. I'm not exaggerating, but I literally operate on the level of a 16-17 y/o kid :/

How can I actually get stuff done, consistently at that? Any tips, please…? :')
I don't wanna be dissociated any longer. I don't care if it's something self destructive or unconventional, any suggestions are welcome.

I'm on autopilot most of the time. I get up, I get ready, I go to work and I come home. I function pretty well considering how depressed I am. I guess compartmentalisation - push what's depressing me to the back of my mind. I'm OK as long as I'm around people , it's when I'm alone that I start to spiral and daydream about CTB.

I don't really, sorry I don't have any tips for you. The only thing I manage to do is work out and practice my languages. I'm just so tired all the time and I don't see the point in doing anything anymore ig

I've been partially overcoming this coping mechanism by admitting that whatever I do will not be enjoyable and that pushing through is my only option, otherwise my shit life will continue being shit. I still procrastinate but at least with that mindset I've been able to start doing something.

Also, any productivity is way easier when there is a flow of something positive that replenishes your dopamine levels. Socializing, relaxation, whatever makes you feel better.

I just spend all day trying to study but not actually getting anything done because I keep getting distracted. but then I don't even enjoy what I'm distracted by because I'm anxious about not studying. between that I have short bouts of productivity. I used to use pomodoro timers a lot, maybe that's worth a try? knowing that you'll get to slack off in a certain amount of time (with a visual indicator) could help you stay present until then. if you've found that cutting and burning helps, maybe other strong physical sensations would work similarly. a cold shower perhaps.

me too, timers and alarms seem to help me be the most productive
