I think it is either an upward or downward spiral where in some cases, there is a steeply going downward spiral.

When you fail one exam, move unto to the next one, which is even harder, and reexaminations stack up and you start to wonder about if this really is what you want to dedicate your professional life on, things get difficult, frustrating and depressing really quickly.

The only way to protect yourself is to become disinterested. If you really care a lot, it is too much to take failing all those exams. If you become apathetic to it, it becomes more bearable. But as you are apathetic, you will study even less, your results will become worse, leading to you becoming more apathetic, losing any love you had for the subject.

You have someone how able to start afresh when a new period/subject starts. How? Donno. It is a struggle.

Somehow you need to put double-think stress on yourself. Stress that prevents you from procrastinating. But stress that avoids you feeling terrible about failing.

You need healthy distractions, like sports and social activities.

Any respected educational institution has professionals that can help you with study problems.


Maybe start with fixing your sleeping routine and make a study routine/schedule that is so easy to follow you can be sure you will follow it. Then when you follow it 100%, make it more demanding slowly. No point making a routine you know you won't be able to follow.
