I live in America as a 20 year old Asian enby (I think?), and I am not sure what I want to do besides leave the house my parents live in (they are humongous jerks). The issue with me moving out is that I do not have any job prospects (I am thinking of quitting college), many connections (I only talk to a few people online), or a mentally sound mind (I have PTSD and depression among other things). What should I do?

    Well we’re nowhere close to a proletarian revo, so your choices are physically train up and get hard while living on the streets, hoping scraps you scrounge and beg are sustainable and nourishing or you be “subservient” for a short while and get a marketable skill. There may be other options, but I’m tired and not seeing them rn.

      You are definitely right about me needing to get a marketable skill, and I should definitely find a way to treat my mental health so working is not such a struggle.

        There may be free or low cost options in your area. I can tell you from my personal experience with that that you get a lot more bad or mediocre therapists that way, than good. Fire the bad ones, stick with mediocre until a better one is available.

          That could be true, though I kinda live in a small patch between more populated areas, so I might have to travel to places of higher density to get therapy (if I do not want to risk getting online therapy). It is so unfortunate that we need lots of money just to get a necessary improvement to our mental health.
