 I am  thinking about taking some off time to reconsider my life. I struggle from depression and anxiety, that becomes better or worse on and off. It's really difficult to get off this cycle, because I basically stay at home for prolonged periods of time. I'm 24 living in my family home with my mother and grandmother and feel that if something happened to them, or only one of them, it would be close to impossible for me to cope or exist in this cruel world alone. Back in 2017 I registered to one of the most prestigious universities in our country for a Bachelor's degree. After some time because of my mental problems I stopped attending classes and flunked out in the 1st semester. During that year I had severe mental problems, but after some time I got my drivers licence and started going to the gym. I worked out for about 3 years until Covid hit, then I continued to do exercise at home. For all this time (2018-2021) I studied in college and finished my education debt-free. However it was only possible because my parents gave me the freedom to pursue education and not work during this time. When I finished education, I wholeheartedly wanted to pursue a job and went into my first office job in logistics sector. They pay was not that big, however I had the possibility to work from home and by living with my parents I could save half my salary. I quit a month ago because I felt that it was the correct choice, however now I'm jobless, getting help from parents and also have MBA on my head that even though I have a scholarship I have no intention on pursuing and by quitting in the first semester I need to pay of the first semester, which is quite a lot of money... I've talked to my parents about my future and they feel that I should rest until the New Year. However does living with them, helping them and in the meantime trying to find myself is really the best option here? Or should I just find any job, quit my MBA and get a steady income to eventually move out? The economic times are tough and I don't want to be a burden for everyone but unfortunately I feel that at my current state I can't lead in independent life even though my girlfriend would really like me to do so as she is living independently since 2018. My family means the world for me, they and my gf is basically everything I have. What is the correct way out of this situation?
