Now listen up girlie! Every time I hear you call yourself another name like "stupid" (and you just can not know how much I cringe when I see that posted!) I'm going to post a link to this and other posts in which you do not call yourself such names, and when you honestly take my breath away with your understanding of very complex subject matters. I only wish I was that smart! I understand that sometimes it's hard not to beat yourself up about things but you NEED to realize just how VERY VERY VERY intelligent you are. See above post for reassurance.
Now, it sounds as if you have a problem with motivation. (I too have the same problem) Are you depressed? Or on meds that could be causing this? Or possibly not on meds, which could help? I wish I had an answer for lack of motivation, but alas I too have the same problem. Only instead of beating myself up about it, I charm people into "seeing things my way" or just working my a$$ off at the very last minute. Usually though, I charm people. Can you get some help by someone in the group? Is that possible? Or, are you easily distracted? Could that be it? I wish I had answers... I really do.. But, your life isn't falling apart with this one (or a few) projects. Talk to your therapist and make sure s/he realizes this is becoming very bothersome to you. See what he can suggest.
As for the project, call some members of the group to help you. I'm sure they'd be happier to help than to show up without having the project completed.
Good luck ((lonelygirl))
