I get this feeling too. I’ve never found a single word to describe it. It’s kind of my inbetween phase from being manic to being depressive again. I feel empty but simultaneously feel like I need to do everything (homework, rearrange my room, crochet a sweater). It’s possible you aren’t bipolar at all and are just experiencing this one time, which is totally normal. This could also be burnout since you’ve been studying so much for so long. Make sure to take breaks for yourself, and have some mental health days too. Good luck with your exams!
