I call that stagnancy. It happens to me a lot. I hung around for a year after uni not knowing what to do, living with family and off of my savings. When I tried to start new things my health kept causing trouble, but even small steps are good. I'm over 30 now, and I'm into a new career path, just finishing my first year. There is so much concern over getting things done quickly, when it probably isn't as big a deal as people think.

School is good. If you only want to do a couple courses at a time, go ahead. That's what I'm doing, because I know I can't handle a full course load with my mental and physical health. It's easy to beat yourself up for not seeming to 'get anywhere' in life. I had this problem for years. It can take some time before realizing that small steps are sometimes good enough.

Good luck with your endeavors!
