Force change to happen if it wont do it itself. Going away from home and slaving in some low IQ job should be the spark you need to make changes.

Only reason I mention it is because you can use your graphic design skills as leverage in a job interview.
If you need money in the meantime find a construction/moving job. Yeah its physical labor but it will keep a roof over your head while you figure things out.

Instead find work here and there and build a portfolio. If you want to hustle just find people with shtty website and reach out to them letting them know you could redesign their image, logo, site for $XXXX. Boom.

Or else commit yourself to school (but only if there's a job you really want/would make lots of money that requires it). 25 is plenty young to go to school. Just don't do it if you have no direction with it. Then you'll be 29, jobless, and in debt.

Well that was me a year ago. I went through the same crisis last year and decided to go back to college.
I had a job but it didn't pay much more than minimum wage, and I already hit the pay ceiling. I say research some industries/jobs bro and plan your college and career path.
When I decided on my career and starting researching it and registering for classes, I got a massive boost in my mood and motivation to achieve. Feels like I'm starting a new life, srs.

It takes about 2 years to get RN from nursing school and the pay is good and you can get a job immediately upon graduation. Also the job is in demand everywhere

If you don't want to work for yourself then go back to school, srs.
Get a degree that will open the door to a career you think you'd enjoy doing. You can work at the same time.

Why not join the police? You have both Italian and Swiss citizenship. If you join the Italian police you could take bribes all the time. If you join the Swiss police you'd just be chilling all day. Both attractive options IMO.

Don't have much advice.
But the most I can say is that it's never too late study, and 25 is still very young, your life is far from over, hang in there.

To my knowledge you can't unless on a HB-1 visa or are a dual citizen/ have a green card.

You have a few options
1)Learn a trade
2) Learn basic programming and web development
3) Digital marketing jobs - lots of resources online, can get a job in SEO or PPC. Doesnt require coding but it helps
4) Military
Do some career or aptitude tests and see what they recommend as well
