Never put effort in

[EssentialAspiration]

Right. I'm clever and all that. Maths and English basic skills are unquestionably on point. If I put enough effort into my school work I'd be walking out with B's and A's no doubt. But I don't. Never revise, never do homework. Can't even be arsed putting effort into subjects I enjoy. I don't know why I'm posting this because I'm the only person who can change my attitude towards work. But basically I am scared as fuck, because I can't imagine anything worse than still living in this shit town 10 years or so down the line. So I need to put effort into my work and do well in school to go to a good college and get good a-levels, get a decent job and get myself a nice place to live in a nice town somewhere and have a family or something like that. But instead I'm gonna wind up some dead beat with a shit job and a shit house with no money and a shit life because I don't try at anything. I'm a fucking loser and it's my own fault and rather than doing something about it I'm moaning on a forum wallowing in self-pity. Fucked it all.

It's good that you realize the attitude you need. Now, use that attitude. Right now, you have a dark attitude and no motivation. However, if you gather some strength and power through now, life will be easier later on. It may seem easy now to just not try to get good grades, but later on life will bring more difficult challenges.

motivation is half of the battle, sometimes more. it is easier to get the right motivation and attitude now than it is later

Honestly, it may sound weird and potentially very wrong but the things you are saying sound like a symptom of depression. Before I was diagnosed I had no interest in anything and I literally thought it was because I was just a lazy fucker.

I've thought about that but I'm in no way willing to go down that road, therapy, medication, my family thinking I'm some sort of not right? (no offense) I'm not putting myself through that. I'll find a way out of this eventually, hopefully it won't be too late.
