Any advice Veeky Forums?
I have to decide like today if I'm going to tell my boss I'm actually quitting (I told him I was resigning last week after my flatmate committed suicide) or if I'll work the same job (same hours etc) for another year.
It's a huge fucking risk moving back to my hometown, where the only jobs for people like me are minimum wage.

I'm not claiming to be good. But I have previously written a novel that was accepted for publication, which I withdrew. But I simply fail to write anything worthwhile while also working full-time, more than full-time really.
Yes.

I'm fucking terrified of being a lifelong NEET and having a mental breakdown caused by the isolation and self-disgust at living with my family
