I am a secret NEET for 6 years due to a lie that snowballed

Venting

In 2017 I started university but got bad grades. I lied to my parents, saying I'd passed. Around 2019 I dropped out, but pretended to keep going. In 2020 I pretended to have online classes because of COVID, and I pretended to graduate in 2022 and get a master's degree in 2023. Since then, I've been pretending to work remotely while living off my savings. As soon as they run out, I'll have no choice but to end my own life.
