I've been there. Oh, boy, have I been there. I've also got two years on you and still no degree. I think you need to take a step back and figure out why you're doing this. You have to really, truly want it. And not because someone else told you they want you to do it. I know it's really, really hard to think about the future right now, but what do you want to do? In a perfect world, besides not existing, where would you be in 5 years? Don't beat yourself up and call yourself a failure. It's simply not helpful and you're only setting yourself up for further "failure." Maybe you could take some time away from school and figure out what you want to do. Maybe changing your major or maybe not even going to school (I've had that discussion many times). I switched gears and decided to take a break from beating myself up over not having a BA, and I'm working on my AA. Once I have the AA, I'll worry about the BA, but with some sense of accomplishment.

You're not alone feeling the way you do. I promise.
Thanks for this!
