some great advice already posted. try to not get to lost on where you are and how big of a delta to where you envision it is that you want to be. slow down if needed. Try to enjoy where you are and master it. give your self credit at the level you are at. be proud of your code even if others are not kind. strive to make it better. always be improving. be pragmatic. don't get lost in the weeds of politics, status, or any specific sort of rabbit hole that you won't learn from. if you aren't sure whether you will learn from, you probably will. someone posted recently. if it's not a hell yes, then it's a no. I really like that. don't take on too much. anxiety can suck. take it one day at a time, and learn to get the courage to ask questions when needed and practice the art of asking questions. it will be invaluable. if you can find something passionate that excites you, remember this moment. occasionally refer to what makes you passionate and recalibrate as needed. if you find no passion, maybe take a break and revisit later. good luck!
