Burnout and Self

Hello, I am a 21 year old experiencing severe burnout. I was a Computer Science major at a liberal arts college before dropping out due to mental health reasons. Then, I tried attending university online, but I failed two courses and ended with a 1.92 GPA. I recently took the burnout questionnaire, and I had a score of 55 on it. I just cannot imagine my life without school. Without school, I worry that I will become a failure in life, and that I will never amount to anything at all. I saw a lot of my old high school friends finally finish university recently, and it pains me because I wanted that to be me. I wanted to feel like I could be successful. I have no hobbies or interests outside of tech, I am not creative at all, I have no certifications or skills to lean back on. What do I do? Should I get IT certifications? Should I just not do school for the rest of my life? I am extremely confused.
