I feel like giving up and that I have no future

I have failed all of my essays except one in the first term of 2nd year. It is now the second term, and I feel like I don't belong on my course. I attend all lectures and focus as much as I can and I am revising for two of my exams right now. I have bought a book by the open uni which my auntie recommended as she did the same degree as me. I am also in regular contact with my tutors. I have asked people on the course for help and they have told me to do things which I am already doing such as use the lectures and reading as a baseline. I feel empty as my goals are slipping away and I can't start writing or continue writing without crying. I see the people around me gaining 2:1s which makes me feel more inadequate. The people who I saw as friends, don't speak to me anymore and it is always me who reaches out to chat or catch up for an hour.

I will still continue trying my best on this course and also focus on my wellbeing as i lost myself at the beginning of the year
You could always drop out.
Perhaps your revision technique needs to change? What course are u doing?

I’d suggest dropping out. It seems that you do not belong on that course as you have an inability to keep up with the rest of your cohort.
