Every time I try to improve anything about my life, it only gets worse. I try to do something, invariably fail, become frustrated with myself for failing, and fall into a bout of depression. Should I just resign myself to browsing 4chan, eating, shitting, and doing nothing else? I don't think I have any more energy left to resist.
What have you tried doing and ended up failing?

Tried writing, programming, drawing, making music, exercising, eating healthier, having a more regular sleeping schedule, meditation, controlling my anger.

Do you need a prescription for that? And does it have side effects? Will I be unable to function without it if I get used to taking it?

Not really, I've tried stopping internet use before, and I've gone several days without it but I just wasted time with other things. I'd daydream for literally hours on end, or pace around the house, or go for 4 hour long walks outside. I don't think internet is the problem, it's just a convenient distraction. Take it away, and there are other distractions still remaining.

>prescription
Yes. Doctors here aren't stingy with it if you convince them you are trying to study.
>side effects
Well yes but you aren't able to function now, so.

Well, that is a good point. I don't know how I'd go to a doctor to get it prescribed, though, since I don't have any money and my parents won't make an appointment for me.

You're not angry enough at yourself. Only when your anger and self-hatred outweigh your tiredness will you be able to to accomplish anything.

If your parents don't think you need psychiatric help, you probably don't need it.

I'm angry at myself and want to change and make plans one day. Then, I sleep, and the next day I have no motivation to do anything anymore. Until I get angry at myself again, that is... But things usually only boil over closer to the evening.

I'd hope you're right.
