Everyday is like a marathon, I just want to give up all together. Is there any Christians out there with advice?

I was raised Catholic but don't currently practice. However, I wanted to say I'm so sorry about how you're feeling. I was in a similar position while in high school and after a long battle, I convinced everyone to allow me to drop out of school. Though it was only 20 years ago, my family wasn't up-to-speed on mental health issues, so I wasn't getting any psychological help. I regret it (though I did get my GED), so I just want to tell you I don't think you should drop out of school.
I also want to tell you that you aren't doing anything wrong; the anxiety and depression just make it feel that way. I think it's best that you let your parents know you aren't doing well because your well-being is quite serious and should be taken that way.
