Struggling to handle my mental health - what can i do ?

ive been really having issues with my mental health for a long time , but its been particularly bad the past few months . one of the most difficult parts at the moment is sixth form ( im currently y13 ) and being in a setting where i have to be consistently mentally present is making it so much worse , especially in drama since rehearsal requires so much focus and awareness . it makes me feel that its my fault im not present during the moments i have to be and being told i need to just 'get myself in the zone' by teachers doesnt help at all . ive spoken to a gp who made a referral to a 'specialist' that im waiting to hear back about , ive spoken with practically everybody in college who has some role in wellbeing , and although i can talk to them about this theres not really any way they can help . can anybody offer some advice ?

I understand you, you are actually going through a transition period right now and it can be difficult for teenagers, try taking some sedatives or vitamins it should help I took mine from partner healthcare pharmacy it helped me to calm down a bit and take the situation soberly

thank you - although ive tried taking vitamins regularly it hasnt really helped . my parents offered me a private psychotherapist but talking has never helped me that much either . im really not sure what can anymore so im trying my best to just get through college but its getting too much now
