In Islam, if God takes something away He will replace it with something better

Have sabr. You might end up at a good uni or be put onto a really exciting programme that helps you progress. You might be happier in that course or you might find a career you enjoy from that course. Do not think it's the end of the road, Allah is always with you! If you don't mind, could you tell me what course you're taking? It might be that you've overstated the importance of taking specific a levels when you might still be able to do things that interest you. Don't forget you can do AS levels self-taught if you want to, sociology and economics are easy from what I've heard. I'm assuming you want to go university if you're worried about a level subjects, most unis don't actually ask for specific subjects more specific grades. For example, I don't take philosophy or economics and yet I can still do PPE at Oxford if I achieve a minimum of AAA. I was really upset as I wanted to take philosophy but I was talked out of it by everyone and that is one of the components of PPE. Now, if anything, I'm more desirable because I do math A Level, it's a requirement and I didn't know that until I had a look. So don't despair, have sabr. Allah doesn't give you something because there is something greater around the corner. If you don't find that pleasure in this dunya, then rest assured it's waiting in the Akhirah.

It's not the end of the world. I'm sure you can find other courses which could also lead to decent paying jobs. You won't necessarily be stuck at "dead end manual working class jobs". What do you like studying? What're your hobbies/interests? Surely, there will be other courses which are right for you. You not being able to do this particular course may be for the best as it could lead to you doing something which results in better job opportunities at the end of it, Allah has a plan for everyone so don't give up.

I dropped out, I was doing AS level Sociology, English literature and Maths.

Were they all AS? And could you not retake?

I like academic subjects, specifically maths and english literature. I like watching tv and playing games, nothing more.

All AS, left because illness made me fail. Nope can’t retake, way over the age limit now, I’m 20

A Levels aren't your only option. I'd recommend doing a level 3. I failed 2 out of 3 subjects at AS and moved on to do a level 3 course. It was a lot better for me as I was able to study something more interesting than the standard academic subjects available at A Levels.

Everyone likes watching TV and doing unproductive stuff, that's just human nature I think. But you can't let that get out of hand. It's okay to indulge a little into those habits from time to time, but you must be moderate with it. You need to schedule in set times to watch TV, say you have a show you watch, schedule that in when it airs, then schedule in productive work time. That way they things you like to do are self-care periods which is essential to balance out your routine. You just need to make a timetable or routine and stay consistent. One way to do this is by praying when it's time. I don't know if you pray or not, but if you don't then begin by doing the 5 salahs at the set times. Schedule around that and you'll find it's a lot easier to stick to the schedule.

level 3 meaning BTEC? Still over the age limit

I am academic its one subject which made me sick and I dropped out altogether because it made me fail everything. I just need to be well thats all then I can get the top grade in at least 2/3 subjects that I do.

I’ll never complete sixth form now and will always be looked down on for that and I am stuck at manual jobs for the rest of my life so how did God making me mentally disabled (meaning I am unable to study anything at all, even if its entry level) replace it with something better?

in the hereafter you may gain a magnitude of reward for ur sabr
