Damp, cold, aging walls. Unidentifiable echoes. Feeling like youβre being swallowed by a worm. An urban cave, I guess. One near my house has train tracks β I love the tame thrill of having a locomotive run over me.

if you truly think that society is going to collapse - look to anarchists for inspiration. Learn about time banks. Try to set up community gardens. If society does collapse the only way to survive is organizing with your neighbors and friends. You will survive. Taking small steps towards a healthy local community not only will give you peace of mind but it will brighten everyone's lives just a little bit.
Also don't give up. Attend protests. Boycott. Remember fear is the only tool they have to control you. Turn that fear into rage.
Nobody knows if society is going to collapse. But I know for a fact that if we move forward without fear we will continue to hear the birds sing, fall in love, and dance and play. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

I relate to every word you put down. What helps me is realizing that I cannot be extrinsically motivated. A bad grade or loss of points means nothing to me and has never motivated me. Motivation has to come from within - and sometimes that means I have to gaslight myself into being motivated. If I have an essay I don't want to work on I will stare into space and repeat to myself:
"I am compelled to work on my essay for 5 minutes"
Within a few minutes of looking like an insane person I will cave and get to work. But it gets even better, because the hardest part is always getting the ball rolling. Once I get 5 minutes in adding another 5 minutes on top of that is much easier, and once I've worked for 10 minutes, whats another 10 minutes? before I know it I'll have been working for an hour and it will feel amazing. This isn't a surefire way to get productive, but if you have adhd it's great to make a list of strategies for yourself to use in the future.
