Feeling extremely stuck and sad at 30

I don't know what to do, I'm currently 28 gonna be 30 in few yrs but life is just scaring me day by day because time is passing by yet all I'm doing is sitting on the couch like some potatoe and just mourning on life. Keep overthinking excessively and feel miserable from inside. At this point my thoughts and emotions are eating me up. I'm not working. I don't know how to find a good job. Don't have any money. I don't have any skills not even a college degree. I badly want to go college again but don't know what to pursue. I don't drive which is something I need to do and should do because driving is such a important task. I'm living my life with my siblings doing house chores and using my phone to escape reality but deep down time is eating me alive. I'm getting very regretful thoughs that what am I doing right now with my life. I'm supposed to help my siblings. Make money pay bills, work for my future and become a capable adult but here I am just mourning on life feeling like a victim. Anytime I think about taking actions or making a decision, self doubt just kicks in. I start feeling resistance. I feel overwhelmed.

To be fair, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that friction is hard to ignore

If we’re being honest, the way this is presented changes how it lands That’s what makes this interesting. This could age very differently in a week.

the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s where the disagreement starts Let’s see what happens next. At least from my perspective.

Without overthinking it, this solves one problem while creating another which is why the comments look the way they do Time will tell. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
