i consider myself a creative and open-minded person, i like to write and read poetry and literature, but i can't stand academic subjects. i'm not sure if this hatred developed over time from when i was a child or i just lack the attention to study, but i suck at school. it's a miracle i got this far, i cheat on every test and this year i slipped up and gotta retake a test in august, i feel dumb but i know i'm not stupid. i can't comprehend algebra or anything to do with logic my mind just shuts down whenever i'm met with a problem. i take things slowly, but school never waits for me and i fail to catch up, similarly i never did something i was forced to do, when i had to read hamlet for school i didn't, but i would read it out of enjoyment now. my life is kind of a mess right now and everyone depends on my further education. should i give up or suck it up and endure it? i'm a bit fearful for my future and i know that in this world you can't get anywhere without an academic degree.

tried to take up many hobbies but i quickly gave up on all of them, i still see a therapist from time to time, but our lessons don't help me at all. i'm taking antidepressants but they stopped working a long time ago. maybe i should just ask for a higher dose and try to take up something again.

felt like asking here in hopes of finding someone that can relate to my current situation.

retardation, get off the antidepressants and never see a therapist again
then you can re-evaluate your life and interests clearly, lifting does help as well

i've been thinking about hitting the gym, maybe weights really are the solution to everything?

the story of richard branson really resonated with me, might watch some of his interviews, thanks.

its not the solution to everything at all, but getting rid of the chemicals slowing your cognitive processes would help you follow through on any interest

Sounds like you have developed some horrible habits. Sad to say but you do need to force yourself to learn things even if you dislike them. Most of 90% of what you need to learn to function will be something you do not like. The reason you can't take things slowly is because you are too far behind to catch up normally just by studying. I would recommend taking a break from college or whatevs and taking a remedial program. Of course you could go off the deep end and start grinding to make money without education but its a lot harder and requires agency which someone who struggles completing basic requirements in education is not ready for.
