Same here. Studied med tech, currently working in Neurology but specialised in Cardiology. Let a bad relationship derail me from my goals for 10 years. Used my anger, loneliness and insomnia after the break-up to start a practice, but thanks to Covid-19 and medical aid billing changes, the practice hasn't been doing very well. Studied computer science, but am not doing anything with my second degree. I intend on getting back into Cardiology, however I need to work my way up from the bottom again and that isn't appealing to me. Dabbled in digital art, found it interesting but didn't finish the qualification. So I've decided to focus on achieving smaller, personal goals first, such as losing weight, as well as facing and addressing my childhood trauma and anxiety. I live on my own, away from my family and friends and it has been pure hell at times but I am focusing on adhering to a single goal at a time, instead of several, simultaneously. It seems to be working for now. I feel alot more confident. I will have to grit my teeth and bear it, as I have to get back into Cardiology, because the personal and professional outcomes far outweigh any losses to my ego and quality of life. Try attacking a single goal/several short term goals at a time. Seems to be working for me. Good luck guys.
