You have all 9s, so you are one of the brightest students in the country as well as 3A* at A-Level. Oxford Economics & Management is the second most competitive course after Computer Science at Oxford University. Perhaps, you can discuss your problems with your tutor in the subject you're having problems with? 😧
Is it the amount of work that is getting to you? Or are you depressed by studying all the time? Perhaps you need to visit the libraries more often and make friends with other students and especially fellow students on your course?!
Don't drop out as you could work in Investment Banking/Hedge Funds and become a multi-millionaire or even billionaire in 20 years time!!! 😉 lol Economics & Management at Oxford University is a 'lottery' to gain admission into and it would be a waste of your 'true' talent to drop out now.
I hope things improve for you after you discuss your concerns with your course tutor(s).

yes I think it would be a waste to drop out, but i am really struggling with balancing the workload in a healthy way. I find that I am always studying and if I dont, I fall behind. But I also always feel lost with content and cant really retain much information for too long. Im also struggling with self doubt as everyone else seems to be coping better. I think the friends aspect plays a lot into it as well, since I am studying all the time Im quite isolated and dont really go out much and have not made many friends since uni started. Not sure how to change this, and worried that if I start to dedicate more time to socialising Ill struggle even more academically.

Have you spoken to your tutors about how you are feeling? Does your college have a student mentor who can help with study skills advice? Have you spoken to anyone on the college welfare team?
If tutors know that you are struggling they may be able to offer some practical tips and also some reassurance how you are doing relative to the cohort.
There is masses of student support provision in Oxford but you need to reach out for it.

I don't agree that there is 'masses of support' - it's very variable.
