I'm 15 years old, living in Western Australia and in grade 10. I find that I'm not learning anything at school due to having depression and anxiety getting in the way of being able to concentrate. My grades are usually around average, and I don't know what I'm going to do to get money. I don't want a job thats time consuming, and it has come to the point where I don't care how much I'm payed, just as long as I can go home and have hours and hours to be by myself and draw, play Minecraft and watch YouTube/anime. It sounds childish, I'm aware of that but it's the only thing that makes me happy.
I'm sick of being depressed, and help is out of the question. I just want to be locked up in my room, but since I need money to pay for things like electricity and food I obviously can't do that.
I thought about tafe, but I honestly don't know how to find anything about that… No one has explained to me what other options there are other than finishing year 11 and 12. Are there any other options? Is there a way I could actually get a job I enjoy?
I'm a creative person, anything from drawing, to writing or even acting makes me happy, but again my grades aren't to good in creative subjects due to lack of care. I only try hard if I want to, so is there anything I could possibly do?
