The feeling of despair and 'maybe this isn't for me' totally resonates, I hear you and I feel for you and I'm sending you lots of uplifting positivity. I was similarly stuck, after months of practice, getting literally the exact same score or lower than my very first diagnostic score, and it was truly demoralizing. I walked away from LSAT studying for a few months (which I understand might not be possible, but really do think about how long you can take to legitimately let your brain have a break), and then when I went back to it, I tried using a book and not worrying about time. Taking that pressure off myself, I got back to basics and tried to approach practice tests with an attitude of 'let's just see how this goes, this score doesn't define me or my effort' and it got me out of my rut. I'm still not quite where I want to be score-wise, but it showed me that so much of this is mental and that the best way for me personally to get better is to mostly ignore chat boards with people competing about how much or how hard they're working, and to allow myself to go at my own pace. Your hard work is going to pay off, give yourself a break :)
