If you really don't want to play college or school ball there is no need to put yourself through the stress because it sounds like you simply are not enjoying yourself it sounds like you enjoy the game just not the environment and stress.
First is softball all you do? If you have other activities that you enjoy that either sports or hobbies maybe take some of the time you are investing in softball and focus on those activities.
As far as softball I would find the lowest threat environment you can that is interested in fun, problem is at 14U that is almost non existent if you can do Rec do that otherwise maybe reconsider school ball if you have friends that will be on the team you can really bond plus it can be intense but you know it is only going to last maybe three months then you are done, plus if your school has freshman or JV focus on that and don't even think about varsity.
Anyway as others have said it is very obvious that while you enjoy the game it is bringing way too much stress into your life now and it really is not worth it (strange to hear from a bunch of softball nuts) but find something you enjoy and are passionate about it does not have to be softball.
