Such a tough situation to find yourself in the center of. Perhaps the first thing to acknowledge is there is no easy answer. Regardless of what you choose it may feel as if you're "giving up a bit of yourself" which sucks. However, the good news is life is long so there's always an opportunity to come back to things down the road. Secondly however I'd suggest spending a bit of time getting crystal clear on what values drive your life right now. Identifying the top few can give you a chance to cross reference the "200 interest" and start settling in on the ones that truly satisfy your core values. While again this might not take away the "sting" of putting interests on pause, it will allow you to feel completely fulfilled with the interests you do decide to act on.
