Going to class or school, has to be a choice. Not everyone likes or loves to go to school. When people force themselves to do something they do not want, the interest diminishes. You should never force your self to go some where you do not want to be. Maybe rethinking why you are there and why you are going in the first place may be a better option. Sometimes people go to class because they have expectations, or have the need to. Many people go to class because is the class they love or friends they want to see. What ever that choice is , it has to be a choice made from you and no one else. If you just do not have to go to class, because you are tired and work a lot, that’s another thing. Sometime having a schedule or a time planner may help.

No one should have to force themselves to get to class, you should really try to focus on getting yourself to want to got to class and that way it wont seem as stressful or difficult as it normally would have been. Try convincing yourself to got to class by knowing why you should and also identify what's keeping you from going, and by taking these certain steps slowly by slowly you'll see what had seemed an endless hallway turn into a few steps as you are walking to class knowing you didn't have to force yourself and feel a weight being lifted off your shoulder.

It's completely natural to have this feelings. Can anyone ask that why can't I force myself for playing games or do things which you like a lot? So it's common for you to think about it. When we stress ourselves or force our mind to do something which it doesn't like,you will be more and more frustrated. So the solution to this is to accept that you are going to class for your better education and better life.

Sometimes we are experiencing a day where even walking to the bathroom feels too strenuous. We may not even understand why sometimes. It is not necessarily being 'lazy,' but rather your body's energy feeling as though it has been completed expended by being drained in other ways, such as ones mental health for example. If someone is feeling down, for example, they may feel completely fatigued and unmotivated, which is not something that can quite be forced. This is why we as human beings must engage in self-care activities so that we can recharge and work on our healing.

Sometimes I just can't get out of bed to go to class no matter how important I know it is... However, I sometimes feel like the importance I put on the class makes me more anxious and more likely to not want to go. When I give myself a bit of a break it makes me less scared and less likely to want to avoid it - which ends up making it easier to actually go to class. It is a fine balance between giving yourself a break and also making sure you keep up with your goals. Good luck.

Sometimes, personally school can feel like just another problem to worry about. When I feel that way, I just look for at least one thing thing to look forward to at school, even if it's a bird that just hangs around a particular building. I just look forward to something small and go from there. There is honestly so much going on and this is a very valid question; the fact that you are asking shows that you care. Just remember to be kind to yourself even with questions everything going on right now. You're trying and that's what matters right now.

I can't force myself to go to class because I am overwhelmed. On good days, I can manage to survive the sensory overload, but on less good days, I can't. I do my best and attend most of my classes, but once in a while, I take a day. A wise person told me once "It's better to take a day and rest than to have to take a week/month to heal. I can't force myself to go to class all the time because there are too many people. Is it social anxiety? I doubt. I do have an attention deficit disorder and sensory processing difficulties. I am also autistic, but you wouldn't guess until you have been around me enough. Did you know that fluorescent lights have a sound? That sound mixed with 90 people moving, breathing and shuffling pages, others whispering because they missed what the prof said... So did I by now, because I also have a headache from the bright lights and someone wearing very strong cologne. My heart is pounding in my chest because I have no idea what the prof is saying and I was distracted. i was overwhelmed. I can hear, see, and smell everything BUT I can't focus on the prof. I can't go to class all the time because my nervous system needs to rest... So I rest.

It sounds like you are having a hard time going to class, and you want to, but are unable to build the motivation to get to class. There are a variety of reasons for this, but I'll answer with one of the more common reasons. Assuming that the class is online, it might be that it feels like much less of a commitment to go to class, as you can always catch the recording another time. Additionally, online class isn't as attention grabbing as in-person courses are. The best way to beat that is to write out a schedule of when you will go onto online courses and restrict yourself to a specific area when you are doing that. When you consider how effective it is to sleep in your own bed, that has to do in part by how often you have slept in that bed. You need to build up good habits at your respective workspace to avoid spacing out when going to class and recognize that you are making the steps you need to take for attendance.

It can be difficult to find the motivation to go to class. This is an especially hard situation if it is your first time living away from home and having to attend school. Some people thrive with more structure and the pressure of others helping them to wake up in the morning and get ready for class, and without that, it can be difficult for them to go. Other people feel bored or discouraged in class, and that can work against them wanting to show up for it. Still other people feel that the class is not enough of a challenge, and feel it is a waste of their time to go. There are many reasons someone might find it difficult to force themself to go to class. Evaluating what reasons you identify with most might help you discover why it is so difficult for you.

Sometimes we don't have the mood to do anything. If it is class day we tend to skip class. Anxiety and depression can be two of the few reasons why we skip. We don't want to be forced to go because of what we think the other person will see or say. We often try to hide from the reality when anxiety strikes. And sometimes it's good not to tell others because they may not understand how we go through. They will give opinion from their point of view . Sometimes we can't force ourselves to go to class because we just may not have the energy to do any.
