hey @yeah_it_tahtperson hope you are having a good day so far!
Thank you for sharing your experience with year 12 and feeling tired all the time, i am sure this is something lots of students can relate to. Year 12 for me was burnout central, i would get a full 8 hrs and still feel tired and unmotivated. What has helped me recently is prioritising self care and 'prescribing' myself fun activities to do. It might feel like you should be doing something else, however i have learned self care and doing fun things to break up the monotiny of studying has helped in the long run. It helps me personally to feel refreshed, as doing the same thing over and over again for days on end can really tire someone out.
Fear of failure is a really tough thing to go trhough, and i am sorry to hear that this is what you are experiencing. Perhaps talking to someone such as a trusted adult, or a professional like your school counsellor or GP might be able to give you some tangible strategies to help you with this? Just to let you know that you are not alone in these feelings at all, and it can be a really hard thing to go through alone. Social media can really make this (and also motivation) go down, as you see images of 'perfection' alot. However, as you probably know, lots of things on social media are doctored or just highlight of the best aspects, and dont tell the full story.
I hope this helped in some capacity. I wish you all the best, and i hope to hear how you are going soon ❤️
