How to deal with severe burnout symptoms because of "overstuding"

I know this sub wasn't intended for this type of discussions, but I need someone who may relate or expirenced this I wasn't really responsible good sleep, good eating habits and reasonable study time, constant pressure from myself, and ignoring signs of burnout, like insomnia, intense headaches, or wierd sensory signals like wierd metalic tastes or zapping neuron noise. Trying to push though by consuming coffee or listening to music. At some point, my mind snapped and I had mild psychosis symptoms, intense voices and noises, with I felt it was real but it wasn't. combined with strong headache, extremly unreal imaginations inside my mind, paranoja, and life-threating insomia (my mind just refused to sleep, I felt no need to sleep for 3 days, and only after taking meds or after I wasn't alone at my house, I could sleep or even attempt sleeping). my state improved, however I still feel sensory detachment like touch of water being "incorrect", loud noises being very intense, I fell like I overwhelmed my nervous system, my state is quickly improving but violently in non-life-threating way (my mind regenerates but in painfull way) what do you guys, recommed for recovery. I want to somehow pass, while not triggering those states. I have around 12 days before exam sessions will start, is here a possible recovery?

not sure if I have psychosis.

hello, due to overworking intelectually, like pressuring myself too hard, and ignoring warnings form my brain, (like wierd metalic taste or neuron "cracks " inside my brain, and intense wavy pains).
I think, I snapped my brain, and I started hearing things, with aren't real, I feel they are real, but I can detect whatever it is hallucination or not (sometimes). the worst psychosis, I get when I try to fall asleep, and start hearing intense walking or most intense hallucinations, where it really scares me, and I cannot sleep, and all those states come from studing too hard.
however my mind is sane, other than those hallucinations. everything feels alright.
I should mention, I have strong headache, and when my headache gets stronger when hallucinations are worse.
it might be temporary, because it happened like 2 days ago and it only happened because of overworking
(other than coffee, no substance abuse)
