My biggest challenge right now is university. I'm not learning as much as I want to and its just crushing. I think anxiety is a big factor in this, making it harder to study, pay attention in class, and leading to terrible procrastination. I was in therapy from my first year until my second year started (currently going into my third year), and while I think it helped me understand myself I still procrastinate badly and get anxiety around school. I'm confident that my procrastination is an avoidance behavior in response to negative feelings, but being aware of that hasn't really helped. I feel like medication is the next step.

Most specifically, I'm curious if anyone has found that meds made it easier to manage procrastination (it makes sense to me that they would do so by mitigating the negative feelings). I'd also love to hear what peoples' experiences were with medication in regards to school, especially post-secondary.

Procrastination feels so intense and inescapable to me, and school seems like such a broad and complex issue, that I'm worried meds won't make a difference and it all comes down to whether or not I can do the work (and currently, it seems like I can't). I'd really appreciate hearing some peoples' experiences with this stuff.
