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.

Thank you for your reply, I am in my first semester of college, and the reason for all of this is because I took such a heavy load last year in high school with sports, extra curricular and just trying to get ahead, which cause the stress, lack of sleep, and depersonalization which is really taking a toll on me. I probably won't quit school all together I just feel I may need some serious time with God and take less classes, as of now I'm taking 12 hours and still have a huge amount of stress.
