problems
Hi firstly I'm not saying in any way that I have any learning difficulties nor am I assuming so but I need opinions/ help
basically I got quite good gcses 9s,8s,7s but recently I did terribly in my a levels (cce) and I was supposed ti study medicine sonow I'm doing biomed and I'm thinking of doing a law conversion
but honestly all throughout my life I didn't have any motivation to study even though my living situation should give me sooo muchmotivation and during my gcses I did minimal revision last minute and even my sats I didn't do anything at all. I've always struggledto focus and no matter what I can't stick to a routine or timetable. during my year 12 mock retakes I managed to go through pastpapers and I ended up being predicted aab. all throughout a levels even though I had all the folders and binders and everything Iliterally had a pile of sheets and notebooks from school that I used but ended up under my desk and was never used again. In mylessons even though I'm not doing anything else and trying to focus I never took in any knowledge and even when I am actuallyhaving conversations to people I will literally start day dreaming and won't be able to focus even when I'm trying to will myself to
as for actual studying in a levels during year 13 mocks I got cdd and then after that I had a study mentor and he helped me createa timetable ,this was in February, and I dont think even one day I actually adhered to it. I thought I wasn't able to study at homebecause of distractions such as speaking to family or even messing through my desk drawers putting makeup all over my handsand stuf, so I started staying after school until half 5 and I used to be the last one there, and even in the silent study room id findanything excuse to get distracted and when I did focus , as soon as someone started whispering or even leaving the room , id bedistracted again and id spend time doing stupid stuff even when my phone was turned off id be doing stuff like counting the ceilingtiles , or even just turning around and reading through the book shelf
also its really random but one thing I remember from when I was younger is for a whole year any time I would read something , be it a poster ,reading out loud at school, or even reading cereal boxes I had to read it all backwards in my head , idk why I'm evenmentioning this
I'm just wondering if anyone thinks I should speak to my gp about this because I really dont want to go to uni and end up messingup again thanks

What is your motivation? What motivates you?
Maybe it's best to organise a routine
If you feel you have health or a mental health issue, then yes, you can speak to your GP
