Needing help

I’m currently an undergraduate in mathematics (sophomore), and I’m having difficulty if I should even stay at this program longer. The passion for mathematics is still there, but I was never naturally gifted at math or arithmetics in general—and that would feel better if I was then good at proof writing, but sadly I’m not either.

I don’t have a single exam I have passed so far, abstract algebra 1, physics, calculus 3, number theory. My professsors for calculus and number theory suck and for the rest I have very good professors but I still fail.

I spent 86 hours on October studying and still failed, got burnt out on November then for some reason scored higher than October for reviewing littler hours but still I failed (26/70).

I know I learned something, but it wouldn’t reflect on my paper. Is it normal to feel this way? Am I really just dumb? Am I just trying to love mathematics but I’m too dumb and stupid for it? This is my last resort, any tips on how to improve or keep on going if there’s no some sort of reward from learning? Please be nice I’m really down 😔
