I can empathize -- my plans were almost completely derailed by COVID -- I'm 26 and live with my parents right now, and will depend on them for the foreseeable future until I graduate from my grad school program and get more work. I'd say if the grad program is really what you want to do, go for it. I know it's easier said than done. But think of the benefits of finishing the program you're in. I'm sure they'll be numerous if you do decide to finish it. That's the same thing I have to think right now for myself. I have been doubting graduate school a ton, and it has only made me less productive and more negative. I need to focus on the end goal.


So make your goal to get healthy enough to continue. I know that's also much easier said than done.
