Hi there,
Sorry to hear you're feeling like this. Have you got many exams left to go?
I sat my A Levels under Covid restrictions, and although that made the exams different than usual, I can understand the exam season stress quite well.
Try your best to look after yourself. Your exams are important, but so is your wellbeing. I tried my best to balance some exercise in between exams - even a walk on an evening - just to help ease my mind a bit more. And if you're struggling to fit in anything other than revision, which I know is often the case, try to keep a basic but needed routine - try to keep to a bedtime or at least a time where you stop revising on a night to rest. Remember to do the basics like eating good meals and showering - sounds silly but I am guilty of just snacking my way through the day and putting off having a shower.
I know it's so much easier said than done, but you will get there. And it will feel tough until you do, but I promise you the relief you will feel after that final exam is honestly so rewarding. Maybe you could plan some things to do once your exams are over to try and get you looking forward to the summer, and to keep motivation going.
All the best! 🙂

Exams are a marathon and not a sprint, so keeping going can be tough. They are draining emotionally, so you need to recharge emotionally with lots of positive things, things that make you feel good. Whether it is walking to the newsagents to get a pack of gum, meeting your friends for a coffee, playing ball with your dog, having a movie night with parents, doing so colouring, painting your sister's nails, whatever recharges you.
Take care of yourself, this is the home stretch, you are nearly there!

I've always wished I was British (idek why) and it seems like such a good place to be. And I hate the US so when I get out of High School and Early College, Ima go there to study law!
