Hi everyone, I’m looking for some honest guidance on how to restart my life. Here is my situation:

Educational Background: I’m 20 years old (born in 2006). I passed 10th grade in 2021 during the pandemic. Due to the circumstances then, I didn't have a strong academic foundation.

The Gap (2022–2025): Shortly after 10th grade, I went through a severe mental health crisis. I struggled with psychosis and mania, was admitted to IHBAS Delhi, and am a suicide survivor. During this time, I was unable to continue with 11th and 12th grade.

Current Status: I am now stable, sane, and adhering to my medication. I am living a normal life again, but I feel behind. I’ve tried NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) previously but haven't been successful in passing yet.

The Goal: I have a 6-year gap since my 10th grade. I am highly motivated to earn money and support my parents.

What career paths or certifications are available for someone in my position? Should I try a different approach to finishing 12th grade, or are there skill-based vocations I can enter now to start earning? I'm looking for a path that offers financial stability.
