Hi! I recently have noticed that I wasn't doing my beloved passion as much as i did before, even though i continiue day dreaming about what i can do with it. Its not that i don't like doing it anymore, no no, Just that i started to see it as a career path, which made me lose all enjoyment to it. I still really want to do it, but i can't get myself to commit to it whatsoever. Its the same with other things in my life, no matter how much i wanna do my hw/hobby/etc I just can't do it, i can start but immidiately feel overwhelmed or lost without a passion. I plan on going to a school phycologist, but unsure if that will help

it's understandable for hobbies to shift from fun to unpleasant when you start viewing them as something profitable instead of just something that makes you happy.
do you think there's anything you can do to repair that relationship with your hobby? maybe step away from it for a week or a month or two. only focus on doing things with it that you enjoy, rather than working to improve so it's profitable.
about the other life things, like homework- stuff is gonna suck. nobody wants to do responsibilities like homework, but you have to get it over with sometime. try and find out ways to help yourself focus, and if you're struggling to get motivation, know that you're doing this for your future self. you're making things easier for yourself when you get older. it seems like a small ordeal now, but it could make all the difference to do one more math problem.

maybe you're right, i recently notices these "focus practice exercises", they might help me focus more on assignments that i have to do

Maybe it might be best to keep it as a hobby if doing it as a career makes u less passionate abt it?
