23M feeling simultaneously stuck yet overwhelmed
Hey yall, I’m a 23M from the USA feeling kind of stuck in life, I’m currently working a sales job making decent money. I’ve tried college 4 times but I have an extremely hard time with commitment and focus due to my bipolar disorder.
The last 2 times I quit college were due to Psych ward visit with my most recent one resulting in basically losing my entire social network besides my family and a couple of friends I don’t see often. I’m still emotionally recovering from this and I’m slowly paying off some debts I took on and staying with my mom rent free, the only thing I’m paying is my car bill and insurance.
Where I’m stuck is figuring out what to do next? Ideally I would like to move to a new city and have a fresh start but I understand that my problems (bipolar/eating disorder) will follow me. What is good is that my job would allow me to work almost anywhere in the country but I’m not sure it’s something I want to be doing in 5 years if you know what I mean.
I like sales but my current role is D2D which can be a lot. My job does offer tuition payment so I’ve considered enrolling back in school but I’m just worried about flunking again. Sorry for the rant any advice is welcome.
