Hi Aaron,
How are things now? Just read the thread and am curious now to find out how things have progressed from the last month. Hope you have taken a break which helps gaining perspective in life (Life can present itself one way but there a lot of ways to look at the situation).
Initial Spiritual journey can be tough as dropping out of the matrix while still living in the matrix can be tough to cope until the point of time you are more sure of yourself and the path you are on.
From what I gather you are looking for a sense of direction in life which is bothering you, maybe you can take up Leo's Life purpose course or just test waters with what interests you and see if you can build something around it. When you meditate and all your issues come up it might be useful to write them down so you have clarity in what's bothering you so you can plan things better. It also helps prepare you to face them better the next time they resurface.
Its recommended by a lot of people in the spiritual field to get your life in order before you start a full fledged journey to enlightenment unless you have no problem living like a monk or a yogi.
Hope things are already brighter and better for you.
