I'm so sorry. It seems like you just can't catch a break lately, doesn't it?
I certainly understand that you can't not feel anxious and guilty about not meeting your family's expectations. However, many years ago my very wise therapist told me that sometimes guilt is the price you have to pay for doing what you want.
Take care.
