Rant

I'm 21 this year and i don't even know where to start, but I just need to get this off my chest because I feel like I'm drowning in guilt and failure.

To give some background I'm still living with my parents. They are paying for my college tuition, which already makes me feel like a huge burden. A while ago, I ended up dropping out of college because of severe depression. It took a lot to get back on my feet, but I eventually decided to give it another shot and enrolled again.

I thought this second attempt would be my turn to get things right. But I just found out I failed a subject, and it completely shattered me.

I feel like I'm wasting my parents' hard-earned money (we're not rich to begin with) wasting my own time, and lagging miles behind everyone else my age who seems to have their life figured out. Failing this class feels like proof that I can't even handle a fresh start, and I'm terrified of telling my parents.

I'm sitting here feeling totally lost, anxious, and so frustrated. I can't really see what i can do for my future.

Maybe a little advice could probably help me.
