Welcome. There have been many in a similar position to you. @Moe Smith's journal would be good to read - he was put on academic probation before quitting gaming and turning things around.

Hey Roku welcome. The work of Brené Brown really helped me learn how to deal with things like guilt and shame and other fears. Might be helpful for you.

Proud of you!!!
