Anybody here got any small business ideas, so that I can get out of my home. I tried working and failed due to extreme anxiety. I'm bipolar so I need to have my own schedule.
Thanks guys.

I'm interested in art and gifts. I'm kinda good with art, maybe an eye for art.Excellent initiative! A couple of questions come to mind: What are you interested in? What are you good at? Your answers could serve as a guide to which kind of business you should start up.

All of it I guess.That's very fortunate! Art and gifts are well suited for small businesses and can be managed in many different ways. You can work from home, you can frequent fairs, you can open a shop, and so on and so forth. What are you interested in? Painting, etching, handicraft, decoration, or something completely different?
(And what a surprise that you are bipolar and also happen to be creative. :P)
All of it I guess.

I'm inspired by this link. But it's all expensive, probably a high barrier of entry.
There is all sorts of arts and crafty things, diamond paintings, jewellery making, making cards and other paper crafts. People like to buy these things as well becuase handmade items are pretty popular lately. You can sell online as well on sites like Etsy.
I've purchased and sold on there before, used to make jewellery a long time ago. Its so easy to navigate and really well known. You can get supplies on there also, make a cute little shop, protection for buyers and sellersExcellent suggestions! puppy9, I think you sould listen to BPD Barbie. I've made some purchases at Etsy myself and it's a perfect marketplace for what you have in mind.
MalaysiaWhat country are you in?
Sadly no. I always quit my job after a few days.Have you had any previous jobs that you have enjoyed?
I am thinking that knowing that might help us to make more focused suggestions.
Really! thanks for the tips @EmptyArmsThere's a ridiculous profit margin on hand made greetings cards. It's quite hard to find good quality, beautiful outside/ blank inside greetings cards . Quick to make. Easy to sell to friends and family if they are supportive, quite easy to sell to small gift outlets. Maybe suggest a sale or return basis. Providing a gift stand would be cheaper than renting premises.
My anxiety is off the charts. Socially I'm awkward. Probably because of my anxiety. Now, I feel that I wasted all my youth on being a loser. .If you don't mind me asking, what makes you quit after a few days, @puppy9?
POD (Print on demand) is a low risk option and doesn't really involve any upfront costs. I've made a little bit of money doing this. But you really have to have some design skills and know how to use programs like Photoshop. It's kind of hard for me to explain it properly. I'd post a link to a youtube video that explains it better but I don't know if I'm allowed to post that here.
It's not a commercial it's like a tutorial type video. Not sure but I'll link it. I follow this lady on YT and she explains it.I'm quite sure you can post it here. Or is it a commercial of some kind? Then I assume it could be classified as spam.

that's the first time I've ever been called smart in my lifeThanks this video really helps to get the gist of everything. Awesome. You're smart.
Sadly no, been struggling since I graduated high school. I guess 10 years is more than enough of giving life a shot.No problem, @puppy9. Have you had any luck trying to treat anxiety?
That's my biggest fear, I don't know whether I can commit to my endeavor. If my bipolar hits a certain cycle; I'm a whole different person. I do not know how to mold my cycle with the environment. I guess giving up probably the best idea.Yeah it's not very practical help heh.
Are you going to be okay financially if you try to start a business? You may not have a suitable income for many months.
