How do you cope with a levels when depressed?
I have zero motivation to even wake up, let alone revise and go to school. I skip school as if it’s optional and hate everyone there. I’m not doing badly but I can’t continue like this. Can’t talk to teachers/family/friends because they’re all ****. How do you cope like this? im only in year 12, taking two essay subjects + maths

Go to see a doctor ASAP. Depression is treatable with talking therapies and with medication.
Set yourself routines. Get up, make your bed, do some exercise. Try to socialise. Those who care for you will want to help you.
But, most importantly, see a doctor.
