Standard disclaimer: your mileage may vary, and it seems like you may not be in the US (?), so I'm not entirely sure how your University system works or who is paying for it, so this may not 100% apply, but the biggest advice I'd have for you is:
Slow down
It's not a race and taking an extra year or two in school isn't that big of deal long term. I ran into a bunch of shit during college, including bouts of depression and the death of my father, and the worst thing I did was try to power through it and worry about graduating in four years. A caveat: It may be a little easier for me to say this than for some others, as my father was very successful in business, so another year or two of college was not a financial burden.
A fun trick: if the classes you struggled in have large lectures, just attend it again the next semester. No one is taking attendance. You'll just be there to learn without having to worry about any of the work or the tests. I did this with a couple of my CompSci classes and it was helpful.
Your school also likely has a bunch of fairly nice people who work in the guidance center who would be happy to talk to you about your struggles and concerns.
