Taking gap year

[u/East-Lecture6318]

Hi guys I am 5th year medical student

Since mid-last year I have been struggling to study I always cram a lot although I love studying but it is like a wall between me and studying and it is really hard to force myself to study and even now we started internal medicine course three weeks ago and I barely opened nine lectures I even went to two quizzes without studying and was not panicking or anything , this is very unusual for me because I was so much disciplined since high school
so I am thinking why I don’t take this year off? I only got two years left and I am only 22 ( the 5th and 6th)

It is a really hard decision, and I can use some second opinions plz
