I get it, I also faced the same situation. Excelling at academics as a kid, sets you up to fail as an adult.
This might sound harsh, but ultimately no one's going to come save you.
No one's going to give you life changing advice, or offer you a reset button.
My advise is to just live, start small, do the little things.
Make pancakes, go on a walk, feed the birds, do the things that make you feel alive, you know?
Somedays, you're just going to be able to get out of bed, and that's more than enough.
You have a lot ahead of you, do let one bad time ruin it all.
With love- Cherie

A good reminder:
Life doesn’t end when you have an embarrassing moment, make a mistake, when people judge you, when you feel stuck, or when you loose someone. life dose not end when somthing bad happens to you. Life will continue on, and you’ll be forced to grow with each season. change is terrifying but don’t make that stunt your growth, or your happiness. live your life while you can. the only thing stopping the majority of people is fear. may fear not eat you alive.

I know exactly who needs this, I know what’s wrong, I know what you’re running from. I know what you won’t tell anyone, not even yourself. I know why you act the way you do. I know it’s hard to process, I know it’s been getting tougher to go on each day, but just remember that you’re here for a reason. If the good Lord above wanted you dead or didn’t give a fuck, you’d already be in a six-foot ditch by now. You’ve gotten so much further than most people in your position would’ve by now.
Don’t let the horrid shit from the past, all the failures, all the heartbreaks, all the darkness, all the crash outs be those things that define you. You’re so much more than that, and eventually the world’s gonna realize just how far you’ve come and how much you’ve changed and how beautiful you really are.
In summary, don’t let all the bullshit kill you.
You just gotta keep going.

Life is fucked, make the best of what you got of it. Life is too short to be stressing all the time over the smallest things. Make your dreams happen now before it’s too late and experience everything you can, even if you're lazy and tired. Force yourself to get up in the morning and tell yourself that you're going to have a great day and make this bread. You don’t want your life to pass you by knowing that you didn’t live it to the fullest. See your friends, be creative, and be yourself because within a blink of an eye you don’t know when your life will end.

'Boy parts', by Eliza Clark. It's like the female version of American Psycho though imo better.
Woman in media are rarely allowed to be grotesque and unhinged without coming off as performative.
I loved this book as it explored those topics in a very intriguing way, but fair warning it's pretty gruesome.

Soaking in your face in a bowl of ice water, helps me to reset.
