Life advice needed – don’t want to work

25m here, Ive had a few jobs in the past, receptionist, kfc/subway but currently unemployed in the UK on universal credit and wondering wtf I’m gonna do with my life. Might be due to my mental health issues but I truly can’t see myself working many jobs without wanting to kms, is there something out there I’d enjoy or is it all cope? Rn I’m thinking of just staying on benefits for a while and living frugally, I don’t need much money due to sharing a house with a family member (£150-200 per month bills each) but I’m terrible at spending money mainly on food haven’t quite figured out how to shop cheaply since I moved out a year ago. Benefits give me about £300 minus bills is about £150 a month which I don’t think I can live off currently, due to poor spending habits and a gf, need…

Rn I’m thinking of just staying on benefits for a while and living frugally, I don’t need much money due to sharing a house with a family member (£150-200 per month bills each) but I’m terrible at spending money mainly on food haven’t quite figured out how to shop cheaply since I moved out a year ago.

Benefits give me about £300 minus bills is about £150 a month which I don’t think I can live off currently, due to poor spending habits and a gf, need advice in that regard.

But also maybe there’s a part time job that I can actually bare, I’m willing to explore that at least but refuse full time. I live close to a city so maybe. I have a lot of social anxiety etc and generally some psychological problems that prob need therapy so it’s hard to find something I want to do, but something needs to change as I’m getting more depressed and unwilling to do basic tasks like cleaning etc basically my life sucks aside from my gf but at this rate I’ll lose her too.

I also studied graphic design and have some work experience for that but I really can’t see myself creating anything atm either, dropped out of uni on my final year bc I couldn’t bring myself to make stuff anymore. So I don’t know if graphic design is my pathway into employment anymore as I just don’t see it and have no passion.

Any advice appreciated, cheers.
