I don’t know if there’s an “answer” that makes this adrift, dislodged, floating feeling go away, but I need to find some new way forward now that it seems none of the old rules that I’m used to apply anymore.
If you’ve felt anything like this before, how’d you deal with it?
It will require some research, but I think a career advisor is a way to approach this. As an outsider, they may be able to help give you perspective that you cannot have.
A good one will have heard countless other stories. They can act as a seasoned decider in helping you figure out what matters.
It's an option worth considering if you haven't before. I'm wishing you the best of luck. Don't feel discouraged.
