Some advice for the short term, assuming your parents will be ok, get away for a week or so, go stay somewhere with a friend, sleep on their couch/spare room or something. Have a few beers, watch some movies and just try to relax for 2-3 days. Then while still there, start making some plans (see advice from other commenters) about what to do next.
The getting away from it all for a week or should help clear your head a bit and make it easier to create a plan to execute. Try to clear the depression cloud a bit, let someone look after you since you've been looking after your parents. I swear it'll be easier if you're in a slightly better headspace.
- thenomad 15y agoThis. Excellent advice. I'm rather appalled by the smug "this is easy to fix" or "the problem is all in your head" attitudes exhibited by some posters here. This Shit Is Hard. Much sympathy for what genuinely sounds like a very unpleasant situation, mattman, and please don't listen to the people saying you're bad and wrong.
