Because of my issues i basically stoped studying and i skipped alot in past 4 years now im a senior , im not stupid i did have great scores but i have no motivation nor any energy to go through my senior year even thought graduating will be my ticket out of this country and to actually start living.

Is there any hope for me to to catch up and pass in next 7 months?

Keep your eye on that long term goal. Stay focused.

So you're not really motivated to study but reality is not many people want to exactly pull out the books and sit there studying unless they see the benefit of it.

So think of the long term gain - freedom and starting a living.

You can get good grades. So come on. Go for it! Don't let anything hold you back.

Remember that you don't have any choice as to the "time". You are going to be "going through" your senior year and you might as well use that time? Find something that interests you or some goal for 5 years from now and twist what is happening in school to work for you instead of just being a chore you have to do. If nothing else, it will be good "practice" for other hard parts in your life, and there will be other hard parts, practice using your imagination and sense of humor, intelligence and other "good" traits you have so you get in the habit of using them instead of just avoiding. Everything you do becomes a habit so if you do "nothing" you get in that habit whereas if you brush your teeth every morning and make your bed, you get in that habit? Think about it and work on habits you want rather than just accepting negative default ones.

I hear ya! I'm so sick of studying... In fact, I'm procrastinating now, lol. Anyway, keep your eye on the prize: graduation, moving to another country where you can pursue a better life. As for catching up, lay out a realistic schedule and stick to it. Be sure to build in some extra time in case you get sick or just need a short break from studying. Keep your eye on the prize and keep at it. The year will be over whether you study or not. Might as well study and graduate so that you can move on with your life.

Work on your emotional health first and what is comfortable, but anything is possible if you want it really badly and work hard for it. Just pace yourself and everything will come together for sure.

In my experience, writing down everything I needed to do for my assignments and then after completing a few, go do something fun that takes your mind off school work like watching a funny tv show online or get a snack and then go back to the list and then when you are feeling burnt out have another break. Hope you feel better, it was a challenge for me to have an interest in school at times.
