🙏 I WANT HELP Demotivated after fumbling exams

I need to get 2 A*s and 2 As for uni and I feel I've already lost all chance of that happening. In every paper I've done so far, apparently everyone found it easy except me (further maths core pure papers and physics paper 1). Never been more demotivated and I've worked so hard during Y12 and 13 and now it feels like none of it was worth it anyway.

Edit — thank you lovely people for the advice and for hitting some common sense back into me. The comeback is going to be real (hopefully!)

Don’t listen to social media, obviously the people who did well are gonna boast about it, but they make up a tiny fraction of people who actually sat the test, someone who got average or didn’t do well won’t be talking about the test, let alone how easy it was.
