Moments of frustration

After a tiresome day of English exam, I come back to my room and throw myself onto my bed, tired and yet somewhat relieved. Troubling doubts are still lingering in my head but I try to forget how I did in the exam; there's no use of thinking back what I did right or wrong - it would only worsen my overthinking. I just comfort myself by saying I can do better in the next exam.
But "WHEN?" I ask myself back. I have been giving the same excuses for many times, saying I would try hard next time. I would be more discipline next time. I would follow my routine next time. However, that "next time" never come and I have been stuck in this endless circle. This sudden realization makes me feel so miserable. The truth is just too painful to accept.
Promptly, I get up from the bed. I still have math test tomorrow. And I have two option to decide - right now or next time. I repeat to my self: there's no reason to be doubting myself or regretting what can't be fixed. I should do right now if I don't want to feel like this in the future.
I took my open my laptop and clicked Youtube. When I scroll down to select a calm playlist to listen, a song pops up on the screen. It says "you are ready to move on(Playlist)". It is perfect. Yes, what is need right now is "to move on", not from relationship problems or a miserable job like others, but from my habits of procrastination and anxiety. If I want to escape from this distressing loop of "next time", I have to start right now. There is no another time.

Feedback

I have the same feelings about "next time" but with my Japanese studying! Your writing is very good and I'm glad to hear you're motivated to change the loop you're in. Some alternative words/phrases for "right now" are: currently, now, and "at this moment." Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for your feedback and helpful alternatives. Best of luck with your Japanese journey too!

Moments of fFrustration

It might be good to obey title capitalisation rules, though this is just a minor issue.

After a tiresome day ofwith an English exam, I come back to my room and throw myself onto my bed, tired andbut yet somewhat relieved.

(1) Alternatively: "After a tiresome day of English exams", if there was more than one exam.
(2) I'd recommend the use of "but" here, since "yet" suggests that you're introducing a contrasting clause.

Troubling doubts are still lingering in my head but I try to forget how I did in the exam; there's no use of thinking back on what I did right or wrong - it would only worsen my overthinking.

(1) Alternatively: "I try to forget about my performance in the exam".
(2) The phrase is "think back on".

I just comfort myself by saying I can do better in the next exam.

But "WHEN?"

I ask myself back.

I have been giving the same excuses for many times, saying I would try harder next time.

I would be more disciplined next time.

"Discipline" is a noun. "Disciplined" is the adjective.

I would follow my routine next time.

However, that "next time" never comes and I have been stuck in this endless cirycle.

(1) 'That "next time"' is singular, so it should be "comes" and not "come".
(2) Alternatively: "I have been stuck in this vicious cycle." "Vicious cycle" is a common expression as well.

The truth is just too painful to accept.

Promptly, I get up from the bed.

I still have a math test tomorrow.

A determiner is expected here.

And I have two options to decide on - right now or next time.

(1) "Two" is plural, so it should be "options".
(2) The expression is "decide on an option". Alternatively: "And I have two options to choose from".

I repeat to my self: there's no reason to be doubting myself or regretting what can't be fixedundone.

"Fixed" is understandable, but in this context, "undone" might be a better choice of word.

I should do something/it right now if I don't want to feel like this in the future.

The object in the phrase "I should do" is missing.

I took myake and open my laptop and clicked (on) YoutTube.

(1) You've been writing in the present tense this whole time, so for consistency, "took" and "clicked" should also be in the present tense.
(2) "YouTube" is the proper capitalisation.

When I scroll down to select a calm playlist to listen to, a song pops up on the screen.

It says "you are ready to move on (Playlist)".

It is perfect.

Yes, what isI need right now is "to move on", not from relationship problems or a miserable job like others, but from my habits of procrastination and anxiety.

The phrase is "what I need", similar to "what I require", "what I want", "what I said", etc. Perhaps you meant to write "what is needed right now is...", but since this phrase doesn't tell us who is the one with said need, it's still better to clarify with "I".

If I want to escape from this distressing loop of "next time", I have to start right now.

There is no another time.

# I seem to be repeating the phrase "right now " for" many times.

Can you suggest to me alternative words?

Strictly speaking, "suggest me" is ungrammatical, though it may be slowly becoming acceptable due to growing usage. For now, though, I'd still recommend writing with unequivocally correct grammar.

# I truly appreciate your corrections.

They really help me to improve my writing.

Feedback

Honestly, I think in this specific case, the frequent use of "right now" is fine, because it does a good job emphasising the theme of the writing—that you should start doing things "right now". However, if you want some more varied language, you can consider the following.

"I should do something RIGHT AWAY if I don't want to feel like this in the future."
"I should do something STRAIGHT AWAY if I don't want to feel like this in the future."
"Yes, what I need CURRENTLY is 'to move on'..."
"Yes, what I need AT THE MOMENT is 'to move on'..."
"If I want to escape from this distressing loop of 'next time', I have to start IMMEDIATELY."
"If I want to escape from this distressing loop of 'next time', I have to start AT ONCE."
"If I want to escape from this distressing loop of 'next time', I have to start (RIGHT) THIS INSTANT."
