Low energy, wasting time, procrastinating, and not alert/active, what can I do about this?

You are wasting a lot of time blaming shit on things that dont matter. No one cares where you went to high school. Get over it.

You need to start setting goals and then get to work. Something as simple as "i WILL go to the gym three times this week for 1 hour". Then when you reach it, set a higher goal.

check if everything is ok with your digestion system (see: candida).
minimalize web browsing because when you are addicted it fucks your dopamine level like drug; same with porn & masturbation
eat well, work out
practice mindfulness, accept your current situation and realize figuring out what is wrong with you is slow process; so dont beat yourself up
reduce negative thinking

This is a tough challenge, 1 that I personally battle constantly. Aside from it being caused by a medical condition, the only way to really fix it is to do something. Anything. You have to get up and start moving. Energy creates energy. When it comes to the human body, the only way to attain more energy is to deplete the energy you have. Once you recharge, you will have a little more than before. Once you start gaining and using more energy, you will see the fog of laziness and excuses start to lift and you will want to do more and more. You have to make a mental commitment to change something about yourself and stick to it. Before you achieve that goal you will notice other changes happening without even trying.

If you are in general low on energy then your hormones are fucked. If they were not fucked you would have plenty of energy and motivation to do shit, because that's the natural state every healthy human being should be in. Hormones are made from fat, not bread and pasta. Go on a keto-diet, lift weights and take care you have all vitamins and minerals your body needs (and take this fucking seriously). Basically eat a ton of meat, eggs and green vegetables. This will fix it. I had the same problem most of my life, just worse. This fixed it, completely. No doctor told me this shit because they are all fucking assholes that dont give a crap about anything. Fuck them. And fuck you too if you vote this down ;-)

Hard work brings success. Set goals and achieve them. The more you succeed, the better you'll feel and the greater your motivation to work even harder. Start small.
