Hey, I understand sometimes to stay consistent and only focus on studies can be bit challenging, and I know how the fomo of phone works, it's practically like you can't leave your phone and have a guilt of not studying too. But do not worry, it will take time, but surely you will be able to get consistent

First of all, please know that nothing is “wrong” with you. What you’re experiencing is very common among students today. This is not laziness. Your mind is stressed and overstimulated. When studies start feeling heavy and overwhelming, the brain naturally looks for easy relief. Watching YouTube or scrolling content is your nervous system trying to escape pressure for a while. It gives short-term comfort, but later increases guilt, anxiety, and restlessness. That is how this cycle gets created. Right now, your mind is overloaded. Anxiety plus backlog creates an avoidance response. YouTube is not the real problem. It has become your coping mechanism.

watching motivational video short term me relief deti hai long term me rarely help karti hai becoz motivation bahar se lena cha rhe hai ye andar se aana chayie

Hi.. will need further history regarding the same to advise appropriately. Medicines and therapy can help. Consult online for treatment

Persistent fear of missing out (FOMO), excessive digital consumption, difficulty sustaining attention, and restlessness can significantly interfere with academic performance and mental well-being, especially in young adults. These patterns may be linked to anxiety, poor attentional regulation, and maladaptive coping habits rather than a single diagnosis. A proper assessment is necessary to understand the underlying factors contributing to distraction, panic symptoms, and difficulty maintaining consistency.

First of all,you have to accept one fact that you are afraid of loosing again in one more exam and afraid of getting backlog again so you are searching for creating actual reasons that you can use once you get backlog this time..reasons like “kyu ki maine youtube video dekha tha isiliye mere fir se marks nahi aye” but in this way you will sympathise yourself again n again and it will not at all help you in passing marks because for that you have to read which you r not being able to read..motivational videos will helpful to you when you actually use those tactics in sustaining your focus in studies otherwise they boost your confidence for short period,but actually will not feed any of your engineering exam content..

This isn’t laziness—it’s anxiety + overstimulation. FOMO and backlogs overload the brain, so it escapes to YouTube for short-term relief, which then worsens restlessness and panic. What helps (short & practical): • Study in 20-minute blocks only (no full-day pressure) • Keep YouTube blocked during study time • Start with the easiest topic first • Do daily physical movement + proper sleep • If panic, irritability, or focus issues persist → consult a mental health professional (CBT works very well) You’re not broken—your nervous system is overwhelmed.
