I'm stuck. I'm in a life-rut. (it's a rant so STFU)

I'm only putting this up because I'm too stressed out to write in a journal. I've been "stuck," meaning not being able to move forward/ progress in anything, for over a month now. If anything I've moved or am moving backwards in I guess i'll call it "progress." I've had bronchitis for over a month and my medicine for it is almost up and no changes/minimal. My results with school are: I had a test in Stats, in which 30% of my grade is weighted to, since I opted out of the HW online. The test didnt go so well, on average i probably received a D-C range. In my botany class, because I have refused to go to class at 9AM every morning and just read the lectures online, I've fallen 6 classes behind. Not only that but I feel I'm missing a ton of content in the actual class. In my consumer economics class I've chosen to give up 5% of my grade because I don't want to write 6 summaries on bullshit current events each week. I got a 76 on the only test we had so far which seemed incredibly easy, and every lecture is the most boring/waste of my life i have ever experienced. I feel i know everything in this class yet Have to go because attendance is mandatory. In my Price theory class, I'm doing OK, recently I've fallen behind and have missed a couple classes but I've gotten a B on the test and have gone to most of the classes. Overall school wise, it just seems like my definition of waste of time. I don't want to be here but am forced to because of financial aid, parents, GF and to get a degree. I personally would like to move back home and focus on other more important things in my life, but I can't. This feeling of trap-ness is DE-motivating me to do anything and making me slightly depressed/in a wrong state of mind. Money wise, I'm not doing that bad, if I need money I have my bank roll there to suffice, and I don't really have bills besides phone. Poker wise: It's a shit show. I'm stuck and don't know where to go. I moved down to the short tables at 25nl, yet I feel like I'll grind for hours for like 5$ an hour. Which is just short of making me insane. I feel like I can't fucking win at anything poker wise except for tournaments. Yet I don;t have time for tournaments with my classes/GF time. That's another thing. If I'm not sleeping or eating or going to class it's assumed that I should hang out with my GF. That cuts SO MUCH time/effort away from school/poker. I can't stand it, especially on the weekends where I want to put in the most hours in for poker. Don't get me wrong my GF is amazing and I'd never want to break it off for something like this, but I feel like she'd be pissed off if I didn't hang out with her because I'm playing/doing something poker related. As a result I've been "running through the cracks" putting in sessions when she's not around. She's going home this weekend which will give me a lot of time for poker but I don't want to keep doing it like this. Another thing is my Car and Xbox broke down (as i've already said). This just adds so much stress. I can't just "go for a drive" when I'm stressed out, or I can't just play halo for entertainment when I want to. And it's just like more things that I have to get/pay for. My last rant is my health. Because I've been sick for so long, I haven't been in the Gym for about a month. This is a HUGE no-no for me. The gym allows me to steam off so much stress and gives me a sense of control. Everything I've worked on in the summer is pretty much for-not now as I've gained weight/lost muscle. Also, I feel like an ass clown when I'm in between classes and have a lot of free time. I tend to just sit around and do nothing/read 2+2 bull shit for hours. See I'd like to actually do something but my mind traces off into "lala land" and I end up playing my roomates Xbox or surfing the web and legit wasting my life. I talked to my doctor and he seriously advised me to look into ADD medicine. I have an appointment scheduled on the 10th which hopefully I can get this figured out. I don't mind taking Med's for something like this, It's something I have always struggled with and as long as I am able to maintain a healthy life style I don't care. I Can't stand all this shit and need some sleep. Pce.
