On learned helplessness

So, I've noticed a bit of a trend this year that wasn't applicable before. I seem to be losing my adaptability and become much more frustrated with things with a far greater frequency.

I feel like attempting to do problem sets that I have no clue how to do, even after rereading textbooks several times, is exacerbating my preexisting lockup problem.

However, I find that if I take a break and just listen to music and chill, I can regain a decent bit of focus.

But a lot of times I try to push ahead, regardless of how little progress its making.

I have to work on this.
