So here's the thing. I quite often get into a state in which

Since you mentioned studying, I'm guessing you're in school? How old?

I think you should work towards a long-term goal. If you're in college, you're priority should be getting your diploma and finding a job. If you get pessimistic and depressed, does it make you want to drop out of school, or does it just make you want to procrastinate doing your laundry? If it's the little things, don't sweat it, it happens to a lot of people. If it's making you feel like you want to drop out of school, then ask yourself, what else would you do with your life? Maybe you should be looking for longer term goals, as in, what kind of house or family do you want, and will you be able to get those things without the diploma?

I'm 19 and will be doing A levels (pre university exams) in some months. I had already dropped out two years ago and started the two year pre-uni course again last year, and I don't at all consider discontinuing school. Mostly I end up procrastinating everything whether it's studying, exercise, diet or even just socialising, and when I realise my procrastination I end up going through the whole depressed stage again. Afterwards I'll spend a few days working on improving things and slowly start abandoning everything making me feel like shit again. I guess an expectation of failure is ingrained into my mind now.
