tldr: I need help fudging my resume because I'm otherwise unemployable because I screwed up hard, but I'm not that good at lying. My parents are supporting me right now and I feel really shit about that. Sorry about how disjointed my post looks, needless to say I'm not feeling great.

I've been unemployed since I in practice dropped out of college last year. I studied computer science but I got really burnt out and needless to say the market has dipped quite a bit during my studies. So I'm not really any better off than before I started studying but I'm now quite a bit in debt.
I live in Sweden and jobseeking here has been hellish since I finished high school in the mid 2010s, presumably it's been this way since the financial crisis. Never held a job here, only in other EU countries and moving abroad right now would be a bit more cumbersome for me. I don't have a driver's license and getting one is kinda expensive and will take a few months at least. Furthermore because I have epilepsy I'm effectively legally barred from getting licensed to drive more or less anything more heavy than a van so I will never be able to work in transport which is otherwise a sector where there seems to be an actual labor shortage. This applies to taxi licenses as well.
Since I'm not considered a "youth" anymore for statistical purposes I'm also not eligible for any of the special programs that are intended for young people with little work experience, which would otherwise be really suitable for me right now.

I have pretty large gaps in my resume even before I quit college and I need to sort this out. I've been considering just claiming that the employment I did have was for longer than it actually was, so that the gaps are way smaller. Also claim that I have held a job very recently as a substitute math teacher or something like that, I have an acquintence who works for the local government who might be able to back me up if they ask for references. But honestly, I'm not feeling super confident about my ability to lie and I need help. Talking to a chatbot about this could be good but I don't really have the cash to pay for access to any of the uncensored models who will help me with this.
Also networking is pretty hard for me because I live in a small town where there's not much going on.

>20xx-20xx: Various Projects in [your industry]

When they ask you what that was say
> I cannot really go into details because I signed NDA‘s, but I learned a lot about [relevant skills you actually aquired by fucking around]

Makes you seem trustworthy and sought-after and keeps the conversation going. Refuse to elaborate if asked but divert to skills you have. Assume they want to pressure you to give details about a top secret project to test you.
Nobody needs to know the „projects“ were for yourself and the nda is with yourself

I've seen this tip a lot looking around but honestly my skills are really rusty and I'm feeling insecure about even looking for stuff in my actual industry right now. I haven't even learned that many relevant skills and I have no projects to show off because I've been really burnt out for a while. I just need a source of income right now to be honest, then I'll hopefully be able to slowly recover when I'm not constantly dealing with bouts of suicidal thoughts.
