Woah woah there slow down for a little bit. Wow this is kind of a trip down memory lane because I can actually say I was in the exact same place you were last year.

Now I don't know if this will help but this is what I did personally. I went to visit one of the deans and asked to withdraw from the semester because there was no way I could finish and even thinking about finishing put me into a panic attack. And I come from a very academic family mind you. My grandparents were doctors and scholars and my parents are from prestigious universities so this was literally felt like the death of me but to be honest it is the only way I survived.

Luckily my dean was very understanding and allowed me to drop to part time so I finished the semester taking only 1 course. And then the next semester I took 2 courses. Now I'm on 3 classes and I'm slowly working my way back up and feeling slightly overwhelmed but the most important part is that I can handle it now. I wasn't able to before. You are so very young with a lovely future just waiting for you so please be gentle with yourself when your body and mind are screaming at you to slow down a little. Take it easy for a bit. I know you can do it

Best of luck!
Thanks for this!
