Need Support

Dear All,

I am in a quarter life crisis. I’m25 female. Yes, I had my wedding called off my wedding to an emotionally abusive ex last year and quit a toxic job. Now I’ve decided to take a break to heal. At the same time I’m planning to study to get into academia and the qualifying exam is in June. Till then I was wondering how I get started as I lack motivation. I think I’m emotionally burnt out. I don’t know where to start. I stay with my parents. Though they’re supportive of me staying at home to study, they don’t get along well. So it’s almost always like a fight or flight situation here. I know it gets back to normal. But I kind of want to run away with a mundane boring job or sometimes. I guess I stayed with my ex longer than I should have because I wanted to escape from here. I love my parents and they love me too but I hope you get it.

Do I look for a job and escape? Or should I stop running and face it until I find a path that fulfilling in the long run?

I would really appreciate any thoughts on my situation.

Thanks in advance.
