I feel stupid. I regret what I did.
I shouldve continued studying. I took a break instead without telling my parents. And now I feel like they're going to find out any second now and kick me out of the house. I felt like I needed to take a break from overwhelming academics, but now it just gave me more stress, and I couldn't even relax because of it.
I felt like I wasted 4 months of my life doing nothing but worry about them finding out that I pretend to go to school even though I didn't.

You are not alone. I feel most people have done something like taking a break when we felt overwhelmed and in the end we figured out the break did not help but now is a bigger issue in getting back on board. Instead of worrying IF they find out .. confess and talk to your parents. defending after they find out puts you in an awkward position instead of showing you see the break was regrettable. They might have even done something like that in their lives. Talking to parents and being upfront is a big step towards having an adult / parent relationship.
