I am sorry for your bad news. I have had problems with mental illness and I am in my 30s now. I have had my difficulties in science-related academics due to it. I have been able to finish undergraduate studies but not my PhD.
Get the mental illness under control. I did not (and still do not) and my career and life are suffering because of it.
Academia especially in the sciences is not understanding or supportive of those with mental health problems so please get the help you need. You will be working with some abrasive and nasty people who are irrational and heartless. Being lucky is one way to go but how many of us are that lucky?
Work experience and perhaps reapplying will help you get into a college that is acceptable to you.
Good luck to you.

i feel too depressed
my dream was to become a scientist but now i can forget about it
my life has no point, i dont know how to handle this
have not left my house the past month because i am ashamed to be seen. it's like people see on my forehead 'i'm a failure'.
