Long story short, I entered 11th grade late (in October) in these 3 months from Oct to Dec I should have finished almost everything, but I got demotivated (due to family reasons, + health reasons) so much that I just procrastinated and did nothing, now my final grades are taking place from the last week of Feb (with a unit test from Jan 15th, but that doesn't matter so much).
I NEED to pass all my exams (failing in upto 1 subjects is allowed) but I have absolutely zero motivation to do it. I already have a shit mental health from joining so late and procrastinating these 3 months, plus when I go to my school I see that everyone else is so far ahead that I just even worse. And my parents don't help in this regard either, they have almost never helped in this regard, and when they did it was for a very limited time. I was only motivated to study, get good grades and do something with my life ,for my grandma but it's been 5 years since she died and I feel that my life has gone downhill from that point onwards. I have no one to talk to, or confide my feelings in, my parents can't do this I know it from experience.
Any ideas on how to remedy this? I feel like one part of my body wants to do nothing and fail to spite my parents, but the other one wants to try at the least, but I have no future goals or aspirations, I don't even care about myself, I only used to care about my grandma and now she's gone and I don't why these feelings are coming back. But is there anyway to motivate myself?
