retake AGAIN or just get through with it

so i was supposed to sit my alevels in 2024 but i ended up coming out of education early on in the year as im my mothers main carer and bcs of this i had missed out on a lot of education and was having constant panic attacks over alevel exams etc. well now im in the exact same place a year later, im redoing the year privately so im teaching myself everything, i cant sleep, constantly having panic attacks and it’s really getting to me. i was considering doing 2 alevels this year and then the last next year but id be 20 years old still doing alevels and i honestly just want this to be over with so i never have to go through this again. im so stuck i dont know what to do or if im even capable of passing alevels because of the anxiety. i’m predicted a*aa which is making everything feel worse bcs i dont see myself achieving that at all. what do i do??

BELIVE IN YOUR SELF. yes its not easy trust me i know. if you don't do your exams then all those panic attacks hard work and effort was for nothing? and i don't think you want that so.... I mean your predicted a A*AA that's awesome i say try it if don't get the grade then don't ever look at it again. If you do then well you just proved that your more capable then you think.

hey thank you for this! i’m going to try my hardest and just let it be over and done with. i think im at a point where id rather (in the worst case scenario) do a foundation year instead of go through this again. i’m trying to convince myself theres always another option instead convincing myself its all over for me (anxiety is awful!!!!!). but truly thank you, i will give it my all!
