I'm terrible with advice, but I can say I know how that feels.
I actually had to switch high schools my senior year because I didn't turn in a required project. All cause I was too nervous to do it. Idk your situation, but just personally as someone with social anxiety & as someone who is a bit of a perfectionist, I've always had a /very/ hard time turning in projects and important papers and whatnot. Even though I know turning in anything is better than nothing, its really difficult for me if I don't feel like the final product is perfect. I end up not turning in anything at all cause it feels like its not good enough to turn in, and I'm too nervous to turn in what feels like a sub-par product.
Which I know makes zero sense but, mm, still something I struggle with. Only thing I can really suggest is, don't beat yourself up over it. Sometimes I have to remind myself not to drown in all my regrets and failures, they happened, and I can't change them, but I can try and do better, you know? I probably would suggest finding out, if you think you might have something impeding you, I didn't find out about my anxiety till pretty late, and I wish I'd figured it out a lot sooner. Just knowing its there and recognizing when it is effecting me has done a lot to help me combat it. And just speaking from experience, whether I wanted to take medication was up to me, and in my own case, they can only help a bit, they don't solve the problem on their own.
I'm pretty sure I'm 100% terrible at these types of posts, but I wanted to say something because, I can relate a lot, and I just wanted to say, you shouldn't blame yourself, and I hope things get better <3
