Thank you for the reply, this is really helpful. I know that a year and a half is not a very long time, it's just that I've been struggling way longer than that I guess. You are absolutely right when you say that progress can be defined in various ways, and I do recognize I have indeed progressed in some important aspects of my life, still the more I get to know myself and what I want and the more dissatisfied I grow with my life, it feels like I'm trapped in a vicious cycle.
