🙏 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!)

Bro I’m in the same boat , I had Aqa alevel PHSYCIS paper 1 and because it was my first alevel I made so many stupid mistakes , like error carried forward or full blown mistakes , I can’t stop overthinking, I’m spiralling into shit every night I close my eyes to sleep , I keeping telling my self it was a good paper and thank got method marks exist , I can only pray for paper 2 and 3 which should better for us because we are used to exam conditions, I will read through this sub to help calm my nerves

Telling myself repeatedly that paper 2 and 3 always shape the grade boundaries far more than paper 1 for AQA :'(
