Feeling down and hopeless

...See more Hi everyone, I hope you guys are doing ok. I'm currently studying for the MCAT which I'll be taking in a few months. My study schedule is extremely strict and if I diverge too much from it I'll be really far behind and it'll be a disaster. It's super important I do well on the exam, so I thought this would be a great time to study since the virus has shut everything down I'll have the time to study. However my work jusy reopened AND with much longer hours than before. So now I'm really stressed, sleep deprived, and trying to fit all my study stuff in with these new hours. Also we need to wear masks and it's hard going so many hours without eating or drinking. I just want to give up on everything and sit at home and do nothing :(
Has this happened to anyone before?

...See more Sometimes this happens to me when I'm feeling a certain way and I don't know what the feeling is what this means. I was just taking a shower after doing absolutely nothing all day, I felt lethargic and my mind was completely stressed but my body wouldn't move so I felt like crap all day. During my shower I sat down and stared at the wall and everything seemed to disappear and I felt almost disconnected from reality. Like a heightened awareness almost, I'm not sure how to put it into words but I felt like I was connected to the universe and was able to see the entire big picture and that all of this means nothing. Like everything just seemed blank and quiet but also peaceful? I was able to easily snap myself out of it when I wanted to but it was nice to explore that for a bit. Has this happened to anyone before and if so what the heck happened just now?
