“So. I am very worried XD”

OP you asked for feedback and advice. You have gotten both.

4 APs junior year and another 4 senior year would make 8 APs. If you took any last year that would add to the count. There are many many threads about how many APs are ideal but after 9/10 it looks crazy.

Looking at this link you will see that the SCORE you earn for your tests is very important. If you are overwhelmed you run the risk of having a high number of APs…but low test scores. A bunch of 3s would be much worse than taking “only” 4 APs junior year.

Please go back and re-read post #12. The posts urging you to consider your health are from parents, and the ones urging you to take 6 APs seem to be students. The strategies for note taking, time management, etc. are excellent. But even with great study habits, 6 will be a lot. No one is saying not to go for rigor. But again I will say, your rigor is shown over 4 years, not just one, and your academic abilities are evidenced by the grades you earn on your transcript. I hope you will look at balancing and what your plan is for senior year.
