Should I be?..I keep feeling like i have failed at life…and well yes i have to be honest…i did not care when both my parents were almost killed in 2 car accidents and i blamed it on my depression/anxiety…and I have been a really selfish person pretty much my whole life…not to mention all the other major sins that condemn you to hell…but i really regret how i have lived my life and i go to mass, try to go to confession and say the rosary…am i still doomed?..im asking the lord forgiveness for how i messed up my life and would do anything to go back…will he still condemn me to hell??..

p.s…i know my sins have been forgiven, but i know that i have been a terrible child to my parents even though im old now, and God will punish me?..Though shall honor your parents? …also i have failed as a human being, yes i know…but

In confession God not only forgives your sins but He forgets them! You should try to do the same. What matters is what you do today and every day thereafter!
 
No. All of the cumulative sins of humanity from the beginning of history to the present moment are like a drop in an ocean compared to God’s mercy.

Continue to receive the Sacraments regularly, pray regularly, perform works of mercy, and consider fasting (if it is possible and practical for you). The fact that you are having these doubts and feelings is a sign that you are going in the right direction and the devil is going to fight you to try to make you do his will and become his slave. He wants to destroy you and everything that you love.

The most common attacks are:
  1. A sense that you are not making any progress
  2. Feelings of despair over past sins
  3. Feelings of frustration over your limitations in changing the world and the people around you.
  4. Irritation over minor things.
Peace.

The following is actually saying more than it looks

One who is free of mortal sin on their soul at death, avoids hell.

No. Rather than go into detail, browse the Hell topic in the archives here. You will find more than enough to set your mind at ease.
