Feel stuck in life, worry about stigma, don't know what is best, just wanted advice:/

Don't be too harsh on me as I already feel bad about it and can understand how 'pathetic it may be but I just try not to think about it. Basically I'm a 29 year old and still live with parents. During my late teens and early twenties I experienced anxiety and kept quitting jobs etc but I gained more confidence (didn't get treatment or anything) and it went away. I applied to study occupational therapy but didn't get on. In my mid twenties I started working on hospital wards and did training to become a nurse even though I didn't really want to my family consists if nurses and told me to go for it, that it was my last chance to make something of myself so I did it and completed the training. All the way through it though I knew that I really wanted to do OT so I thought sod it, I need to do what satisfies me in life and so I applied and got on to study OT at uni.

I've been working part time so although I live at home I do support myself and contribute to the household. I start university again soon even though I'm probably way too old I just want to do what I want to do and start living, try to save for a mortgage then move out. Since the uni I am starting is close to where I live and I have pets which I cannot take to rented accomodation, I'm going to have to live at home through uni again! It's all my own fault Ive just had no 'go' in me in life but I really don't know what's for the best and it's getting me down. I want to train to become an OT but am worried about the stigma and things I'm missing out on in life by living at home at my age for another 3 years. I realise this may shock some people a lot younger than me who have already moved out but I just wanted advice. Am I doing myself that much of a disservice that I should consider getting rid of the pets to get my own home, even though I'd hate to do this? Would you say that I am wasting life by not getting my own home at my age, I don't see much of my parents as I'm out the house most of the day anyway and just come home at night after work and my sports training but still I worry about the shame and stigma that comes along with it! It really makes me feel trapped and u sure what to do.

Hey, it's never too late to start living your life. Also, you should only move out if you in yourself feel independent enough to do so. You shouldn't feel pressured to do so by some supposed "social stigma" or whatever. Everybody develops and lives life at their own pace
