I’m a student veteran (25) and I’m currently finishing up my CC and transferring to Cal state school next semester. 

I feel like I can’t find any real motivation to try in school with the exception being when I have to give the bare minimum. Honestly I’ve always been like that in school, minus little bursts of consistency, I’m terrible at keeping up with my studies. I have a hard time cause I have ADHD (diagnosed but not treated). But with everything online I’m only really required to put forth minimum effort to still get A’s or B’s. Plus it only takes up so much time out of my week.

Where I’m feeling stuck is that I often find myself feeling unfulfilled and bored while with where I am I’m life.

I have 2 dogs and I take them on 3 fairly long walks throughout the day, I try to read, keep up with my hobbies, and exercise at least everyday. I have a girlfriend and she’s amazing but she works a lot so that leaves more time alone. Which is good because I’m an introvert but also difficult because I’m lonely. Still, we make sure to go on dates a couple times a month and shoot for once a week. 

I moved to California just before covid so I don’t have any real friends here (not that I’m great at maintaining or cultivating that kind of relationship). My family is about an hour away and all work 12’s so they aren’t really around. 

I’ve thought about taking up a part time job but I just don’t want to do meaningless work instead because without it I’m doing better than ever financially right now, thankfully.
Also thought about volunteer work, still mulling that over. But just having a hard time finding something I can do and enjoy. 

I don’t know, I guess I just know I’m headed in the right direction but feels like I’m
Not doing enough even though there isn’t much more I can do right now. I was wondering how you get yourself through when the doubt inevitably creeps in. A lot of times I’ll just smoke some weed and try to keep busy but I get so down on myself.
