I spent a while examining not just my situation but my response to it and why I felt that way and what steps I needed to take to improve. At this point, I'll try to get better and deal with the financial consequences when and if they happen. BTW, since I decided to cut back on my work schedule, I have felt much more at peace with my decision. My gf mentioned the other day that I am more happy and relaxed. Good luck!
Thanks, mountain human! I've been fortunate enough that I've had enough money saved to make it thus far without work. And I live with dad, who has been mostly supportive. I think my main thing now is the embarassment and shame I feel, and the feeling like no one will ever hire me due to my lapse in work for so long. But maybe I can find something part time and less stressful while I try to get myself together.
