I've just completed one of the toughest years of schooling I've ever had to deal with.
I found that on top of everything that was happening in my life, I just couldn't get in control of my school work. My fear of failure became SO immobolizing!
One thing I noticed was that I almost became addicted to self help books. I was using them as a means to procrastinate beginning school work, yet keeping some sort of feeling that I was doing something good for myself. Occassionally I would have a revelation and realise "You know what, all this reading about overcoming procrastination isn't helping if I'm using it to procrastinate" and immediately afterwards I would sit down and do an hour or two's work.
I don't really have the answer for you, but perhaps what would help is just taking action - any action - no matter how small in the direction you want to go.
