I want to choose this path I'm quite curious and serious bout it but I'm open to all advice and suggestions I want to do what I love while earning atleast comfortable amount of money to feed myself
I’m 21 and recently quit my master’s because my mental health got really bad. It’s been about 3 months now, and I’ve been at home doing nothing. I feel mentally okay-ish some days, but physically and creatively I feel completely drained. I’ve lost motivation to do things I used to enjoy like art, and being stuck at home all day is making it worse.
My parents used to support me a lot, but after I quit, they’re really disappointed. They’ve basically said if I want to do anything now—study, travel, move abroad—I have to fund it myself. They also don’t let me go out much because they’re scared for me (I’m their only daughter), which makes me feel even more stuck.
I’ve tried applying for jobs and even attempted interviews, but nothing worked out. I also wanted to attend a student event to explore scholarships or guidance for future studies, but they didn’t allow it.
Now I feel like I’m in this loop: no job → no independence → no exposure → no progress.
I don’t know what direction to take anymore. I want to build a life, maybe even move out of the country someday, but right now I feel like I have zero momentum.
If you were in my position, what would you focus on first? Getting any job? Fixing routine? Trying to study again? Something else?
