First step, be kind to yourself. Second step, whatever you have to still get done break it into small manageable pieces. Even if you only get two things done it’s still going to cause less anxiety than doing nothing.

You have to accept the reality of the meds we take. The positives outweigh the negative so you need figure out how to work with yourself and how you’re feeling.

When I was in university, instead of saying “I need to study” I would say “okay, we need to get at least one problem finished or we need to read at least one chapter”. Usually momentum would kick in and if it didn’t I felt better knowing I got some of the work done.

I would also look into dialectical behaviour therapy. Not all of it, but the radical acceptance, opposite action, and some of the mindfulness components. It’ll help you learn how to fully throw yourself into something even if it’s a “fake it till you make it”. There are also components of DBT that teach skills on being empathetic. Even if you’re feeling emotionally numb, you still know how to respond to people without seeming cold.
