I'm thinking about taking a break from school to sort myself out, but I don't know what I should do during it.

Basically I want to figure out what I want to do with my life, because right now I have no purpose or direction. I'm not passionate about anything, other than socializing and romance. That's not to say I'm totally apathetic, I have several hobbies I enjoy and like my field of study. I just don't "love" any of them, and when I try to make myself love them I end up burnt out. Silly as it may sound, this isn't enough to keep me going, I soon slip into boredom and depression. I guess my psyche just works in such a way that I need some driving motivation to function.

I can't keep going like this or I'm going to have a breakdown. I'm only just maintaining a grip on my mental health as is.

But what should I do to help myself?

My school is pretty chill about people taking breaks, so I'm not going to torpedo my future by doing this.

Any insight is appreciated!
