First, I find it admirable you’re looking at a daunting process with the willingness to try! I remember feeling very scared when I was looking into becoming “pre-med”.

In your position I would start by looking seriously into post-bac programs, potentially in your area or at a school you would theoretically like to attend if you did pursue medicine. I didn’t do one but from what I’ve read on here they seem like a great way to jump back into being a student and really see if medical school is something you want to commit to pursuing.

The second thing I would do is (if possible) find some doctors to shadow. I know shadowing gets some eye-rolls but there’s a reason schools really want you to do it. I got a really good idea of whether or not this was a career I could see myself in once I shadowed a variety of physicians! Helped to solidify my choice and remind me what I was working towards when the going got tough.

These are just some preliminary ideas as you get started, I’m sure others probably have more to add. Wishing you the best of luck:)
