Should I leave home?
Im 22. I desperately need some kind of advice due to my mental state. I cant stop feeling uncertainty and dread..
I write here because I was homeschooled through my entire childhood and highschool. I think it has to do with my issue.
My parents are no longer “abusive”. They changed.
Im in college. But I have absolutely no will, no energy, no care at all to do well in the courses anymore.
I keep failing and I feel nothing. Im going to stop taking classes after this semester.
I signed up for a 2 year program for sonography. Starts next year. But I have NO hope that I will be able to do it. I have no energy to do anything. Nothing ever changes no matter what I do. I have no dreams, desires, hobbies. Nothing drives me. I cannot describe it. If I had a billion dollars, I wouldnt leave home. I would do nothing at all. Buy nothing. Go nowhere. I dont listen to music, no tv, no shows, no video games, no nothing. I do nothing all day. And I cant even get enough care in the world to study.
I was thinking I should leave home and try to survive.
My parents coddled me and spoiled me. I have too much so I need nothing or want anything. No friends no family other than my parents. Nowhere to go.
But I am thinking I need to LEAVE. i need to stop being coddled.
I dont know how else to change!! I am tired of feeling completely empty inside! I want to be in life, I dont want to be in my head anymore.
I want to be like everyone else. I feel so alien. I need life to hurt me. I mever been hurt before.
Please offer advice. Please. I cant live in this much guilt anymore. I cant live like this anymore. (I am not wanting to die at all. I just mean what I said. )
