I don't comment much, but I wanted to tell you that I know how you feel. Not in the sense of having the slightest idea exactly what you've gone through to get to the place you are today, but in the way that I feel like I'm running and pushing on and dragging boulders behind me and getting exactly nowhere. I've been doing everything that is expected of me for the last 21 years of my life and working as hard as I can just to get through, graduate, and get out from under my parents' thumbs, but it's gotten to the point where I just can't make myself sit down and write that report, or where I think if I see another differential equation, I'm going to pop someone in the face.

My best friend gets me through. We both know that I don't want to go where my degree intends for me to go. I don't want to be an engineer. We started a band. It's hardly serious, but just a little hint in the back of my mind that says, "Maybe it will work out," is enough to keep me going long enough to graduate.

I suggest just finding a side project. Something that you can do, maybe with someone you care about, that can push you in a new direction so maybe you can discover some kind of inspiration to keep going.

I don't know if I am any kind of helpful. Hope you figure things out.
