Is There Any Hope Of Independence For Me?

purelambdaphi

I'm nearing 26 years of age, and I only have a high school diploma aside from some negligible course certifications.

I hate having to depend on my family, live with them, or just living in the country I'm at currently.

I've considered a career in many different fields (YT, CompSci, medicine), but I have no confidence I'd get a job in any. My mental health is such that I feel unable to put the effort into getting through school or significantly socially interacting anymore, in any case.

I can't see any plausible future for me other than rotting in my room while hiding away from the sensory and emotional nightmare that is outside of it, or discontinuing my existence myself if my interest in certain things I still think are worth my time sufficiently dwindle.

  • i used to depend on family, but over time i became more independent, it took some time, but with persistence i managed to pull it off, it depends on a lot of different factors though, and your circumstances, yes there is hope for you. i think you having a high school diploma is better than nothing, at least it shows you done something, that helps. i never had anything when i left high school, i just done small courses over time and in the end it wasn't those that helped, it was just being persistent. i get what you mean about putting yourself in those situations in the first place though, i felt exactly the same way, and i also felt like i was rotting away, stuck inside, i done exactly the same thing, i know the feeling, the sensory and emotional overload was too much to bear. i bet there are loads of people that feel the same way, your almost 26, so you have loads of time to figure things out, its just doing them in small stages, not just throwing yourself into things that are overwhelming too fast. i don't like the country I'm in, so your not alone there either, give yourself time and persist, it can definitely work out in the end.

    Would you be willing to elaborate on how you became more independent or what you mean by "independent"?
