I am a student that has also struggled with stress and a lack of motivation.

I recommend taking a short break from studying to do the following:
Write down your 3 top values in life at the moment and write down the 3 top things you spend your life on. Rank the values and the time spent.

It really helps to give some perspective on schoolwork. For me, I realized that I wanted my life to not revolve around school and homework, so I changed my priorities to engage in other activities. Don’t let one letter grade define you. Think about it- your shoe size can be measured with a number, but your potential in life and your intelligence cannot. It will take active change on your part, but it will be worth it. Good luck
