I'm lost and feel unmotivated

...See more This year, I will be 25 years old. Prior to that, I left a job where I was not really happy to move back to my hometown where live my parents and my girlfriend (with whom I almost broke up because the long-distance relationship was not working for us). I had to suffer throughout the last year from anxiety (which caused a lot of sleepless nights) due to the fact that I was constantly worried and wondering if I was making the right decision by leaving my job which, despite the feeling of unhappiness and dissatisfaction, gave me a kind financial stability and also made me think that I had a good social status and wasn't left behind by my friends and others around me... in short, I didn't have to worry about how people will judge me. Now I'm back in my hometown, I'm officially unemployed even though I freelance and earn money (even if the income is no longer stable and lower as compared to what I had before). I was planning to open a restaurant with some savings that I had but after several attempts which ended in failures (not finding the best locations, not finding the best resources), I no longer feel any motivation to do so. My hometown being a small city it is very difficult, if not impossible for me to find a job like my previous job and from my past experience, I'm not sure if I would like to apply for a job and work for someone else. I returned to live with my parents and at their expense. I have this feeling of being lost not knowing if I made the good decisions by coming back. Also, I started feeling a kind of stuck, no longer knowing what to do with my life, I feel lost, and I'm no longer motivated and of no longer wanting anything... I feel like a failure. To all this is added the fear of seeing my life waisted and of not being able to do anything because blocked by the fear of failing in everything that I could undertake.... I'm terrified to see myself in a few years and realized that I wasted my life.
