Hey, Yea Forums. I feel like I'm in a bit of a rut. I'm a 26 year old dude who still lives at home. I still live at home because I can't hold down a job due to health issues. I'm tired of being stagnant, though. Like, I've been getting pretty fuckin' depressed lately about it all. So, I'm thinking about going to college. That way I'll at least be doing something, right? I'm pretty interested in art, and thinking maybe that could be a decent thing to pursue. Is going to art school a waste of time, realistically? I don't really know what to do otherwise. Legit tired of feeling like a failure to myself, peers, and family.
>pic only related because it's art.

Would your health issues not hinder you at art school?

A lot of the classes at the local college are able to be done online. So, the majority of the workload would be done in a setting where I can easily take breaks. The actual art classes would be difficult, but I'm optimistic they'd work out. If that makes any sense at all.

Chase that art dream. Art used to be my favorite outlet for releasing emotion. No drug I've ever taken in my life has ever compared to the high I got from creating something from nothing. The pride and rush of endorphins I would get from that was incredible. Unfortunately, I suffered a shitload of health issues a few years later and it robbed me of all of that. Now I'm a chronically depressed drug dealer/user with PTSD and suicidal ideations.
Chase your dream while you can.

Get a job user. Fight your "health issues" and become a functioning member of society

What do you need us for then? Have you considered just taking some basic entry level simple cheap art class instead of going full blown art school? Do you have any good art to show us? I can tell you that any art school that accepts you without seeing your art is not going to be very good.

It means a lot to hear someone say that, even if it's in a shithole like Yea Forums. Sorry about your health issues and PTSD, though. I really hope things look up for you.

Found the faggot who has never faced a real health struggle in his life. Getting a flu or breaking a bone is probably the worst thing that's ever happened to this guy.

It's a community college that accepts just about anyone. I'm from a really small town. The program has good reviews, though. That's why I'd consider it over other stuff. It's around $2k a semester, give or take.
