There's a lot of good advice in this thread. I'd +1: - Seeing a mental health professional. This has a stigma, but don't let it be that. It's just a safe space for you to air thoughts and process them. It's been invaluable to me. I've seen some recommendations for Tokyo Counseling [1] and plan to visit them myself. - Grab a bilingual accountant / assistant. I only see a very small side of my company's business, but ( from banking to general business customs ) things are much different than anything I experienced in the US. - When you're ready -- I would sit down and look at your monthly spend and realistically plan out the next x months. If possible, reach out to friends and family to develop a fallback plan so that it relieves some pressure. Even if your business doesn't pick up, you get to keep your experience and keep moving forward with life. >I haven't really managed to do anything (the same problem I had when I was working for other companies)_ It sounds like you're either too tired or burnt out to actually put the energy into what you want to do. I have most of my energy at the beginning of the day. If I say, "I'll go work out" or "I'll skip studying X this morning and do it tonight" it will never happen. So, maybe looking at your most productive times of the day to see if you can put some more structure around getting things going.
