My friend, if you are experiencing frustration like failing to choose a school for your child, the result is not as expected, it is hard to accept in your heart, or even fall into depression, don't worry, it is normal, let's find a solution together.
Hi, seeing your description, I think many people may be in a similar state: neither have the courage to change radically, but also unwilling to stay put, in the tangle of slowly being trapped by reality.
But that's okay, the fact that you're aware of the problem is in itself a great starting point for change.
Truth be told, whether you want to admit it or not, where you are now is tied to past choices. Even seemingly random events have the shadow of your choices behind them. Simply put, it's you who shaped who you are today, step by step. It's not easy to realize this, too many people have a habit of blaming the outside world for their problems and end up complaining all day and living an unhappy life.
Change is hard because behind every old habit lies our "fear" - fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of losing our sense of security.
Yes, there are endless possibilities out there, but they are also full of challenges. Trying to truly turn things around is never just a matter of shouting slogans.
Instead of empty anxiety, do a self-inventory first: what are your strengths? What are you good at? What direction can you expand beyond the job at hand?
If you find the answer, you might as well try the water in your spare time. Nowadays, "slashers" are popular, and this group of people is not limited to a single identity, for example, some people work as HR during the day, and become photographers or dietitians after work, so as to live a diversified life.
If there is no direction for the time being, start from the interest. For example, some people love to raise succulents, slowly play into an expert, and then opened a class teaching, selling plants, but broke into a new career. Deepen the hobby, not only can relieve anxiety, but also may open a new way out.
The key is to get your hands dirty and try it, don't just think about it.
Also, don't give up so easily. Anyone who wants to break out of the status quo has to go through hard work, and the results aren't always immediate. Many people get stuck in a period of confusion and back off, but in fact, the more directionless you are, the more you have to insist on taking small steps forward.
Even doing something small every day can have a compounding effect over time. Pick the right field, set a goal, and then act with all your might.
Good luck with slowly finding your rhythm and living the way you want to live.
