I think that studying 13h on Sat and Sun is a bit excessive. There is no way that you are going to be able to sustain that level of motivation for the next eight months. While I admire your commitment, I believe that it is VITAL that you take some time to just relax and recharge. Go out for the afternoon and do something that makes you happy - take a walk in nature, go shopping, watch a movie, go to the gym, whatever floats your boat. If you have truly been sticking to that study schedule, I am not surprised that you are feeling burned out.

I am curious as to why you think that unless you follow this excessive study schedule, you will be doomed to having no future? What is it that you envision your ideal future to be? What is the worst thing that can happen if your future doesn't play out exactly how you want it to? I will tell you that I have friends who are studying programming and while it is a difficult course load and degree to obtain, it is doable if you learn how to manage your time and priorities (and by doable, I mean that you don't need to sacrifice all of the things you enjoy doing while you work towards your end goal).

It sounds like you are very stressed out and feeling burdened and overwhelmed with the perceived amount of work it will take to reach your goals. I urge you to take a few deep breaths and then let yourself watch some YouTube videos. Allot some amount of time for yourself each day to indulge. And then get back to studying. It's all about balance. You might also want to consider talking to a professional and exploring why you feel like you have to meet such high expectations and why you feel like anything less equates to failure.
It's called konkur. I live in middle east. I have a ridiculous amount of books I have to read. It's as tall as a mid-tower pc case (if you're into computers.

I still haven't managed to get myself to work

What's worse for me is that I have lost interest in the most important thing in my life. The reason who I am now. I no longer even like computers. I used to go to sleep being excited about what I'm going to learn tomorrow and jump out of bed despite tiredness and code and read 14h a day expect when I was out or etc. I was in love since I was a child. And now everything sounds kind of pointless and that makes me want to just shutdown and just stop living and thinking

The reason I have to go to a good university is to be able to studyand get better and leave my country and have a future. I can't take this country. I'm not designed to live here. I never go out because Ihate reminding myself of where I live. I hate seeing the stupid stuff that happen on the street.

I also have nothing common with anyone here. I basically have no firends to study with. And actually I love being alone (Always did. It's not depression) or maybe having only another person to be with.

I don't want to just wait to die while having no life and working at a crappy shop. I want to improve and learn and do! But sadly becauseof my country I had to give up coding and basically computers. I sold it 2 days ago! And what's worse is I already know I'm gonna forget most of my skills by the end of this

Also my brother and father always fight which is even worse. I have nowhere to study!
