FREEZE RESPONSE/AVOIDANCE TO STUDY

Hey, I'm 22F from India. I've been struggling with GAD since childhood but it got diagnosed during my late teens after I faced some huge academic setbacks because of it. I have been on ecitalopram 5mg and olanzapine 5mg for the last 2-3 years and I'm honestly doing great. I have a healthy daily routine where I wake up by 4-5am, go to the gym daily and take a healthy diet along with my medication. But the only PROBLEM I'm facing is WITH MY STUDY.I do every possible thing to stay healthy and feel good but the only thing I keep avoiding is studying. Whenever it's time to study I freeze and feel completely lost. Despite having a healthy routine I can't get myself to do the most important thing which is getting the syllabus done. I've tried explaining this study avoidance pattern to my therapist but they don't seem to actually understand what I'm going through. All I know is there's something wrong at the psychological level with me like some sort of study phobia kinda thing .HELP ME PLS!!

Anxiety, depression and insomnia

I'm unable to sleep at night and focus on studies. Thought out a day I feel low energy but sometimes get sudden spikes like jolt of energy on somedays. Most of the time I waste my day and even night overthinking or engaging in random random stuff but honestly if I get intrested I get quite sink in it . Low esteemed plus language issue making it worse(I'm from north east now in Delhi Always find myself juggling multiple hobbies or work like just recently i was learning Russian and japanese language at same time along with a fine-arts online course while my midterms. I live alone also rarely go out (beside shoping or classes) also it's been 8 months or so still haven't made any friends with whom I could roam around. I love clothes but imagine I havent even been to sarojni or cp I keep making plans and when as time come near I just say "it's little early" and saying so and so it just get past too late
