Parents can be a tricky one.
My situation was challenging as FUCK, and I navigated some absolutely nightmare-level mental and physical health problems.
They didn't really get it. It utterly broke my heart, and putting myself together again, alone, in the dark, whilst damn near at the limits of my sanity, that is the stuff of your worst nightmares.
It happens for a reason, and the person it forges, and the depth of that persons soul, spiritual power, and possibilities of consciousness far outweigh the pain endured, IMO.
My basic core truth I learned navigating a very insane background:
-If you're not good for yourself, you're not good for anyone
-Be SELFISH: your healing must take precedent. Let everything else be what it is for a while. Family, friends, all that. Smile and let it be. What really matters is getting yourself right and building the foundation for life.
To be successful, you will need physical as well as mental health.
Without these, you won't have the foundation, and you'll be trying to fire a canon from a canoe - it's a poor foundation, and the shot will be sent into the void. Nowhere.
Jordan Peterson did some very useful study on high performers. When it came to the males, they had very high levels of function, energy, and could work flat-out without really too much negative emotion, for years.
You need to be very fuckin biologically and emotionally robust for the game of success, man.
For yourself, I think your journey right now is a HEALING JOURNEY.
I think the basis of your goals should be nailing many months of excellent sleep, in bed at 10, up at the same time each morning.
I think you'll need to spend a certain level of time reconstructing your psyche through reading the books Andy recommends, reading his articles (and GLLs), and watching Andy's videos. Daily, in some form. Can be 30 minutes - doesn't matter. The change happens in the subconscious.
I think your diet will need to be solid, you could explore some basic biohacking and wellness building (sunrise/sunset watching, grounding if possible, cold exposure, some fasting if possible).
Resistance training and cardio.
Otherwise, just sleep, LEARNING/reading, mindset work, and stuff like meditation may be the platform for your rebuild.
I did this for years, man, when I was in deep inner turmoil, really fucked up and unable to function, I did 3hrs of breathwork a day, lots of cardio, lots of study and mind work.
Without that, I'd never have been able to do this stuff.
Andy was always the next level for me. I was motivated to fix myself and get ready to come on KYIL, because I knew I had lofty goals and would have to really heal myself so deep, through high level action.
I could do that, because of the many years of healing that came before.
I call this "platform building".
Want to know why people achieve at the highest level, really? They function and perform highly, and have a good baseline of mental and emotional health. Getting there is a process. You can also do a lot whilst still healing - I was still very fucked up during the Phoenix Project, but I was far, far beyond crisis level mental health.
You need to heal for a while, bro, and just work towards being really well in mind and body. Sleep, meditation, really dialling these things in.
I like the message and approach this chap advocates, I found him by the time I was well to be honest, but I think his thoughts on deep healing are wise:

It's advice I need to take myself, but if I could do it all over again, I'd really nail this and dial sleep in, meditation, diet, and just keep absorbing positive content (read the books Andy recommends, watch his videos and read his articles, daily).
All will be well, dude.
I was recovering from coming from hell itself from my early 20s til I was 29, man.
I went ALL IN and moved to London at 29, dude.
I am on my way to becoming a massive success in life, fella, I'll get it ALL: great women, money, brand/fame, and then wifing up the best gal I can find and producing many little Ravis.
Time is irrelevant, it doesn't really exist. What does, is you undergoing your process. And just allowing healing to take place.
