I’m 26 with no plan but I’m trying to change that. Long sob story short I’ve had a lot of mental health issues and traumas in my life. After arguably my biggest trauma occurred covid struck pretty soon after and isolation and depression turned into around 5 years of legitimate agoraphobia, I only left the house a handful of times a year. Im finally in a better place mentally, still have a lot of work left but I do feel like at least now I’m stable enough to hold down a job. The problem is I have no practical experience and only a high school diploma. I was a vet assistant when I was 18 (probably illegally if I had to guess, I didn’t have any training and the vet was some predatory old guy on his way to retiring) for less than a year. I lived with my grandparents who both had severe Alzheimer’s so I became a primary caregiver for them from age 18-25, but again not much technical experience considering it was for family. I’m really a loss of where to go from here career wise. I’ve applied to several activity coordinator/assistant jobs at senior living facilities because I figured that’s a good fit. I’m an artist and working with seniors is where most of my experience has been. No luck, no replies, no interviews. I’ll take whatever I can get job wise right now but I obviously need a plan. How do you even figure out what you want to do? Trying to make any kind of money off of my art is a long shot and unreliable at best. I just need ideas here, I’m trying to get better and start functioning but the options are abysmal

Things to do alone to get out of the house?

No idea what to do with my life
