If you’re working at Shopify as a full stack at 23, you’re on your way. Nice work! I would recommend this: if the upset you’re feeling is because reality isn’t matching your preconceived ideas, realize you can let go of those ideas. That shift makes life much more pleasant, if it’s available to you. OTOH, if it’s not so simple for you, then as others have pointed out see if you can find someone to work with you (coach, mentor, or maybe psychologist etc) to help you clear your head. Whether you go back to school or not, you’ll benefit from this. We are wishing you well!
