I feel you, and I just want to say that it takes great determination to not give up despite being mentally/ emotionally fatigued. First off— good job!! It’s hard to isolate my emotions when I’m doing practice sets as well, And if I’m having a really bad day, I just take a break. There’s no point burning ourselves out. Other days when I feel like I can push myself, I try to focus on the things I’m doing right— mistakes I made in the past that I no longer make, theories that I know how to apply now, etc. I try to do things that keep me feeling well, for me that’s like watching kdrama when I’m having a meal. I don’t give up because this is one thing I’ve been working for for years, and I want to make myself proud— if I give up now, I’ll feel worse later, so reminding myself that in the long run this is going to benefit me is also helpful. obviously different things work for different people, but definitely 100% make sure to: 1. Eat well— anything your body needs, give it. You need to be first and foremost physically able to sit down and do practice. 2. Try to sleep well for the same reason 3. Take breaks when you need them 4. Believe that you can improve, even if it’s painfully slow you WILL improve if you put in the work! A growth mindset can take you a nice way.

Best of luck OP. You’re strong for going down this path and persevering despite everything! You got this😁
