Seeking advice to become a better math learner. 30 years old with no high school diploma.

I dropped out of high school over a decade ago due to mental illness major depressive disorder therapy wasn't working so my parents just kept me inside the home I never left it they did everything.

I've begun working with a therapist recently after not doing therapy for years because they're concerned what will I do after they die my parents were okay with leaving me always homebound acting like there is no need for me to leave the home I am not capable for the world, I have no job experience, but to get somewhere in life therapist informed me I need my high school diploma.

I tried studying math and its the most annoying part. I feel like I just want to bang my head against the wall reading these imaginary problems apparently I have to solve.

I want a better life for myself, and to ideally move away from my parents one day so I ask...how to make this easy.
