Alright so, I’ve been facing this problem of forgetting how my script works after showers, sleeping, etc. And I just want to explode!!! If you are facing this problem how do you tackle it? Read the whole script again?

You will remember if you give a effort on the script, or using any script methods that you feel comfortable, if still not work then keep practicing coding
Or even there solutions doesn’t work on you then you should check your mental for real

That’s one of the reasons it’s encouraged that you write comments in your code!

This only happened to me once where I was just not able to understand my own code logic anymore. I decided to rewrite the entire script to make it more readable.
But if you want to avoid forgetting your scripts, write comments and always keep it readable by spacing some lines, reducing repetition and use functions (and some clear names on what the function does). If your script is too large, arrange several code parts into some ModuleScripts

I actually work really hard on a script and use OOP which I love to use, I’ve been coding for around 5 years (First 2 years didn’t really put an effort, so around 3 years). I made my own Library to code modularly. Sometimes when I wake up I just think my script is messy even though yesterday I thought it was beautiful and I freakin hate it!

Oh, rewriting is my enemy, sometimes I just script and on my reply up there I said that I think my scripts are messy, sometimes I just rewrite a code for a day and make no progress (in terms of more features) Then, the next day I think the code is still garbage and rewrite the whole freaking think again and still no progress, and with no progress I burnt out and ended up giving up… I genuinely think there’s something wrong with me.

This sounds like burnout to me. I deal with this problem a lot, where I script for hours on end (sometimes 8+ hours) and come back the next day confused by my own script.
If you’re experiencing other symptoms as well, such as fatigue and disinterest in the work you’re doing, then it’s time to touch some grass (or do something else). This helps me when I have similar symptoms to what you’ve been describing and can definitely help you get back to understanding what your scripts do.
In summary, don’t let Roblox Studio become the centre of your life, or you’re going to experience negative side effects. Take a break once in a while; it’s definitely helped me.
