It's been a couple months since I've posted. Been kind of waiting for things to be better and I guess they haven't, really. I'm just not in a good place right now. Started seeing a therapist.

I keep thinking "But what if I don't like it!?!" I'd be putting myself into another career with a long training trajectory.
