Given the duration and apparent negative emotions/feelings, I would recommend seeing a therapist (psychologist or psychiatrist) or counselor. Otherwise, find something that one enjoys and become good at it.

I like to ride bicycles on the road, I like and enjoy running and playing soccer, but I would never qualify for the Olympics, let alone a university scholarship or varsity sport. I can't paint like a master, or play an instrument like a professional or rock star. There are many things I cannot do as well as many others, but I do many things that I enjoy and in which I have some level of proficiency.

My guess is that your "self-study" technique needs modification/improvement.

If you describe your current self-study technique, (especially in maths since you say you're not good at it), I might be able to offer suggestions...
