There is always an opportunity for change. I also dropped out of university and lived with my parents for a long time. I actually had to "restart" my life twice because I was at a breaking point. I believe there is something you love, something you enjoy doing. And you are definitely great at something. I’m sure there’s even something you love doing and are great at at the same time! Maybe you just don’t know what it is yet. For example, try just going outside. Just observe people, the world. You don’t have to talk to anyone. Just watch what others are doing. You can even do this through social media—see what’s happening in your area, what your former classmates are up to. Maybe something will catch your eye. After that, maybe all it takes is a few YouTube videos to get you excited about it. Perhaps you’ll find a hobby that brings a little joy back into your life. Try to find a job. It’s very hard, especially the first one when you have no idea what it entails. Job interviews are tough—very tough. But don’t be afraid to find just any job; in my opinion, there are no "lowly" jobs, and there’s no reason to be ashamed, even if it’s just taking out the trash. Join the support community mentioned there. I believe it will help you realize that things are not as bad as they look.
