$50k USD is not a lot of money. You can save that within a few years in many
countries.

The brightside is you haven't went into debt. That would make the situation
infinitely worse. Unfortunately, your runway has run out so you have to return
to a regular job like a regular person.

There's a lot of good advice in this thread.

I'd +1:

\- Seeing a mental health professional. This has a stigma, but don't let it be
that. It's just a safe space for you to air thoughts and process them. It's
been invaluable to me. I've seen some recommendations for Tokyo Counseling [1]
and plan to visit them myself.

\- Grab a bilingual accountant / assistant. I only see a very small side of my
company's business, but ( from banking to general business customs ) things
are much different than anything I experienced in the US.

\- When you're ready -- I would sit down and look at your monthly spend and
realistically plan out the next x months. If possible, reach out to friends
and family to develop a fallback plan so that it relieves some pressure. Even
if your business doesn't pick up, you get to keep your experience and keep
moving forward with life.

>I haven't really managed to do anything (the same problem I had when I was
working for other companies)_

It sounds like you're either too tired or burnt out to actually put the energy
into what you want to do. I have most of my energy at the beginning of the
