Struggling Study at Home (Quarantine)

Hi there, 

I hope everyone is doing well during this hectic time. I am currently finishing my undergraduate degree in communication and I've been struggling to do classes from home. Currently, I am taking care of my father during quarantine and I had to leave my college house, library, and all other places I usually study in order to run errands for him in public. My father (who is usually really independent) is pretty worried about catching COVID-19 and is stressed that he will not be able to handle the virus.  

Not only is this a huge transition for me as I am graduating, but also moving home tends to be a tad triggering for me. My father is also an avid guitar and dobro player. He listens and plays music very loud and it is quite distracting because I am usually doing home from morning, noon, & night. I feel so bad for telling him to stop playing because he has been making me dinner and helping around the house.

This is so difficult because I usually study with zero music, in complete silence, in the library. Being around so much energy during the day and not having any place to go is really hurting my academic performance. I am usually running around campus, meeting people, doing projects, and now all my energy is confined to a small room. 

I am getting so frustrated with everything. I feel like I am going to fail my classes. I feel like I am not going to get a job. My graduation is canceled, all my research projects are canceled, and I was let go from my job. I can't sleep at night and my body feels like it is literally shutting down due to the stress. Most days I can't eat either. I know that there are a lot of worse problems out there, but I really need a solution. 

 Can someone please give me advice on how they are managing to study at home? How do you stay motivated during this time? Sorry if this rant doesn't make any sense, I just really needed some feedback. 

Sending all my love and prayers to those of you impacted by the virus. I hope you are all staying home & still managing to be productive.

Start by acknowledging what you're worried about. This post is a good start. Try writing it all out... Everything, even if it seems insignificant. You'll feel better. Then try setting a schedule, just one day at a time. Decide 1-2 things to do between breakfast and lunch, and another 1-2 between lunch and dinner. If one of those things is physical activity (yoga, walk around the block) that's great.

If your dad's music is making things difficult, you don't have to ask him not to do it at all, but maybe ask him to plan 2-4 hours where he will not play, to let you get things done.
