I can't play and count at the same time!

I can't play and count at the same time.
I can play with the help of a metro.
But I can't play when I am the one doing the counting. Any help?

 I'm not a tutor, but it may help you to get the music sheet or an simple tunes music book assuming you can read notes and time values, and clap out the rhythms before playing.  Youtube have some great videos for  timing an clapping rhythms.    Try with a song that you know and really like. A piece of music may call  for 120  bpm,  you will not do that as a beginner , but with practice slow and steady,  you will be able to work up to that speed.
I don't  know what instrument you are trying to learn, is it piano?   
In previous post of yours, you said you can't  get coordination with both hands.  How is that problem coming along, and that you get bored after 10 minutes , all that added to the above problems, I think you desperately need a tutor to assess your ability and how to improve your playing and build your confidence.

Try to count and play just one measure.  Write the counts in the score - between the staffs.
Go as slow as you are able - to keep a steady pulse.  Don't use the metronome. Feel the pulse in you body, by slightly 'rocking', and a subtle nod of the head.

I you are not able after trying a bit, try a half of a measure.  Remember to write in the counts.
If you are still not able to do a half a measure after a few minutes, then the piece is too hard, and you should choose an easier one!
After you are able to count and play the 1st measure, practice the 2nd measure similarly.
Then combine measures 1 and 2 while counting and playing.  Then practice  measure 3. 
Then practice measure 4.  Then combine measures 3 and 4.  Then review measure 1 and 2. Then combine measures 1-4. 
Use this model as you proceed farther into the piece. 
Counting along while playing is hard at first, but counting is like a motor, and once started, soon it becomes quite automatic.. Keep at it.
After you are able to count thru this whole piece, when you start your next piece, it will be much easier to coordinate the counting while playing. 
Also, if any practice section is not getting easier (where the pulse becomes more steady)
cut the practice section length in half.. This will save you much time and toil. Remember to count slowly and deliberately.  A steady pulse is the key - however slowly it is. This gets your foot in the door!
Good luck!

PS... Oh yes, Make Sure to count OUT LOUD!
