Dear cheerio:

Your emotions, once interpreted correctly, give you the information of what is the right thing for you to do and what is wrong for you to do. Feeling lack of motivation to study medicine, does it not give you the information that this is not what you want? Feeling anxiety and dread about the process of becoming a medical doctor, doesn’t it tell you that you that choosing medicine and going through the process is dangerous to your mental health? The fact that you enjoyed occupational therapy and even put a smiley face to stress the point, doesn’t it tell you: bingo! I want to be an occupational therapist and I love it!

Regarding “I could have done this .. but it’s too late,” let’s say you become a medical doctor, then you could say: “I could have studied law, and now it is too late to become a lawyer” And you can fill in a thousand other occupations in place of “law”

Does this help any?
