I just moved back home to go to college.
I passed 1 of 3 classes. (ruining my 3.8 gpa)
I missed registration for this next quarter.
I try to get jobs but never get them.
I'd like to join the navy but I am worried I'd have mental break down and screwing up there is unacceptable.
Plus they don't really want me because of mental disorders, and i can't swim.
But then again what do I have to lose?

Just not sure what to do.
Hate looking like a loser who does nothing.
I build computers when I have the money then sell them.
But that's about it.

Advice/Guidance?

What was your previous major? Or, what were you pursuing?

Why can't you just continue to do this? Maybe do freelance computer repair, too, as a way to increase income?

College isn't for everybody. If you can stay afloat with a part time job, maybe you should take some time to figure things out and come to a clearer understanding of what you want to do. Or, failing that, what you can tolerate. You may never know what you want to do - I sure don't - but i found something that sustains my life without ruining it.

indeed... it could be a good idea to expand that business of building and selling computers. Computer repair could be a nice service to add, hovever that would require a bit of dough, so consider contacting your bank for a loan or similar.
