I can't do a uni assignment, enjoy movies, games, etc without obsessing over how long they take. I can't stop focusing on having them over and done with than actually putting effort in to enjoy it. what do?

stop to smell the flowers.
if you need to, put a reminder down. i write things like 'dont forget' on my hand. you could write 'enjoy yourself'. and everytime you see it you stop, take a deep breath, and enjoy the moment.
Sounds like a case of mild OCD to me. I think sometimes our brain just has to focus on something to worry about.
Shit sucks, just have to get on with it and try not to worry. If it's any consolation, if it wasn't that then you'd probably be thinking about some other bullshit.

edit: of course I mean OCD bullshit, not constructive thoughts. Good luck.

This, probably.
You can try to channel it into something semi-productive that satisfies that part of the brain (for example, some of us do celtic knotwork while listening to lectures, in meetings, etc).

OP here. yeah I was diagnosed with ocd but didn't realise this was part of it. makes sense I guess
