I feel let down in my walk with jesus, at first when I became a Christian 2 years ago, it was good but I struggled with being a Christian, all my Christian friends was always saying give your trouble's to jesus I did and I didn't feel what they was saying. now I have so much trouble at home I can't focus on jesus anymore plus I always felt not good enough around my Christian family,,, so I left the church as I felt not good enough for even talking to jesus. and I feel that I'm a real bad sinner, and I'm so depressed at the moment,,

If you are trying to approach Jesus with your own righteousness you are taking the wrong path. You will never be good enough to approach God's Throne until you completely give yourself as a living sacrifice first. When you turn your life over to Christ, He takes it. It is not yours to do with as you please anymore. Then God will impute Christ's righteousness to you.
Isa. 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
Once you belong to God, He will direct you on how to deal with your sinful nature. If you are among your own folks and have been playing church, it might be better to find another bible based group to help with this. God will steer you on this also. The spirit of fear and guilt is from Satan and you need to resist that.

Read this!.....Then READ IT AGAIN!
I give thee thanks, O Lord, that hast been proclaimed by the stranger, and found in us; who hast removed me far from corruption and sown life in me; who hast rid me of this disease that is hard to be healed and cured and abideth for ever, and hast implanted sober health in me; who hast shown me thyself and revealed unto me all my state wherein I am; who hast redeemed me from falling and led me to that which is better, and set me free from temporal things and made me worthy of those that are immortal and everlasting; that hast made thyself lowly even down to me and my littleness, that thou mayest present me unto thy greatness and unite me unto thyself; who hast not withheld thine own bowels from me that was ready to perish, but hast shown me how to seek myself and know who I was, and who and in what manner I now am, that I may again become that which I was: whom I knew not, but thyself didst seek me out: of whom I was not aware, but thyself hast taken me to thee: whom I have perceived, and now am not able to be unmindful of him: whose love burneth within me, and I cannot speak it as is fit, but that which I am able to say of it is little and scanty, and not fitly proportioned unto his glory: yet he blameth me not that presume to say unto him even that which I know not: for it is because of his love that I say even this much.

Hi a few ideas
Be careful not to focus on accusations all day long. We all have our custom made pity parties. Some life or the party other party poopers.
One thing I have learned that has helped me to work through those kind of tribulations is that "doubt" is not the opposite of faith .Unbelief "no faith" alone is.
The accuser of the brethren the spirit of lies accuses those who do believe God as God gives us the faith to make it possible to believe .. he accuses us constantly day and night . The father of lies does not accuse unbelievers. He would try and reconcile doubt as if it was the same as unbelief (no faith) It can drive some to no despair.
We as new creatures have the recourse to believe God or what Hebrews 4 calls "mixing faith" believing God not seen. This so that he can give us rest from the constant accusing.
It does not mean we can ignore our brothers and sisters in Christ .
When the Son of man was in the dessert and not eaten for forty days at the beginning of Christ's ministry he was under much tribulation because of his experience. Eating the food or meat of doing the will prompted by the father in heaven... three times Jesus said it is written and the relief or rest came, the accuser left.
I would suggest do give up guarding the faith of Christ that guards you as the sword of the Spirit put on and keep on the armor of God .those is no armor for the backside. Christ is our rear guard. he has both sides hem us in with his great love and mercy.
You might want to seek professional help .
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
