Hey, so this post might be a mess. For context, I am a 24 year old guy living in the UK. I graduated from a decent university with a 1st class in a useless degree, went to do a masters and dropped out when i realised it was useless/i was also heavily depressed at the time which didn't help. (I still had enough credits for a pity certificate, but atleast they said it was a distinction). At the time i was a real mess, and moved back to my parents house deep in the scottish countryside, without anything around it (literally 0 neighbours). I dropped out almost 2 years ago now.
Since then, i've had a temporary seasonal job and look for extra work now time. When i left high school i left with a shitty math grade, which is holding me back in some areas; i am working on trying to improve it but somehow failing the couse. I don't drive, but im learning. I feel like i will also fail the theory test.
I feel like i've completely lost my ability to focus on tasks. I used to draw for fun, and could spend 10 hours on a single session. Now i struggle for 20 minutes and get distracted or give up. Ive completely lost any skill i had in art too.
I have no marketable skills, no driving license, shitty maths, so shitty at art that i couldnt translate that to a career. I dont know what im meant to do for a career. I hate being such a burdon on my parents, and i feel so guilty for wanting to leave everyone behind. If i died, my parents would be able to retire off of the life insurance payouts. I dunno, im just a waste of oxygen with no options left.

What is your degree? I knew a girl who was in art school before she graduated. She’s now a stewardess. Why get a degree in something that won’t earn you a living.
I got a business degree and I am doing fine and none of my grades were that stellar.

You are depressed. You have to get treatment. Strive to be independent. You can improve at math and you can learn to drive and pass the test.
