I want to take a gap year

because i know for myself that I really couldn't handle it anymore. i am physically, mentally, and emotionally weak. even getting up from bed already tires me out. but i don't want my parents' hard work and sacrifices to go to waste. what should i do? give time for myself? or just continue with this extremely exhausting way of living?

The first thing I'd suggest is getting your thoughts together and sitting with your parents to discuss your feelings. In a calm, adult, relaxed manner. They want what's best for you no doubt. I had one daughter that attended college. And one who chose not to. They both are successful and I am equally proud of them!

@SW-User right on. Each finds their own path, and that’s usually the best.
