I have been a great guy all my life and my parents have been quite happy about it. After school got over I got into this university where I have just destroyed my whole life. I did go to college the whole first year got decent grades but now I'm just ignoring stuff... I miss my classes, lie to my parents and teachers... I don't do anything constructive. I'm stuck in the 3rd year of my course. At this point I just feel completely demotivated, useless and not confident of doing anything. I just hate it right now and want it to end which is sending my mind into a whole lot of depression... I feel scared to let my parents know about all this cause I have already given them a hell lot of problems because of me to deal with. To get away from all this I sleep and sleep and when I wake up I don't like it.

I don't think you need a therapist or a psychiatrist. What you do need is to tell them the truth. By lying to your parents you are only aggrivating the problem further. Truth is good food for the soul. They can't help you if they don't know what the problem is. You said that you've been a "great guy" your whole life. Prove it one more time by doing the honorable thing and be straight with them. Let the dignity inside of you shine through as only you can. Even if (for some reason) they can't help you, you'll still feel a whole lot better. Your conscience will be clear and you will be more able to seek the answers that you need without being bogged down by lies and guilt. You can do this.
