Feel like absolute sh*t

I’ve been trying to get myself to do science and geography revision all week because I’m really behind on it and I haven’t succeeded. My teachers keep counting down the days until our exams which really doesn’t help. I’m now 3 grades below my target grade in physics and I’m lacking motivation to change it. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I spend a lot of my time worrying and crying over my English grades (they matter far too much to me) to the point where I just feel inadequate especially in regards to my performance in that subject. Even when I do revise I feel so stressed. I can’t do more than 2 hours a day without breaking down. How on Earth do I cope with this when all my friends are working their butts off revising? How do I stop feeling like sh*t?

try some exam questions?
anything where you’re actively revising instead of just making notes is gonna make a difference

How are you revising? Maybe you need to switch up your revision method.

How long do you revise for and how many breaks do you have?

I'll be honest, two hours revision per day isn't good, especially since I doubt you're spending that time efficiently.
I assume your revision method works for you, if it doesn't, try something else. What do you do in your free time to de-stress and enjoy yourself? What time of day do you start revising?
Also, look into the Pomodoro Method.

Maybe you need to spend your free time doing something else. Your revision is spent staring at words for hours on end, maybe spend free time going for a walk etc? Don't take your phone with you. Just clear your mind. Maybe consider practicing mindfulness which may help you in general.
On weekends you could try getting up earlier and doing a few hours revision in the morning, and then a few hours revision in the late afternoon/evening?
For school days, maybe revise from when you get home till dinner time, and then from dinner time until an hour or so before you go to bed, so you can spend that time winding down and emptying your brain?
