What to do if you get bad Alevel grades on results day?

Hey,

So my recent grades have been CEU (in my mocks). My life hasn’t been the best in terms of circumstances at home.
I am stressed and paranoid to the point I think that I didn’t even put the right question number (which I probably did and may have put the right question number) in my exam papers or shade small boxes for full lengthy essay questions. I do remember shading them for MCQ though.

I have sat my final/real exams and there is a higher probability that I will get these grades or slightly lower.

With CEU, I won’t be able to apply to any Unis or Apprenticeships (level 4-7) since they require at least CCC-A*A*A*.

I do not plan on taking a foundation course because what’s the point. The problem is i’d retake alevels but the cost is too much and i don’t know if I can afford.

I’ve lied about taking a “gap year”when I knew full well that I won’t even get the grades so I said that because I had at least something to say whenever someone asked me what I will do.

My plans are to work in retail or something else and maybe if I have the money I might retake, but it is hard getting a job out there and perhaps by the time i get a job it will probably be too late to even apply/retake alevels. Or maybe I will just miserably live my whole life working in retail. I don’t really know and I’m really scared for results day too.
