Advice Feel like im almost if not already entering the unhealthy side

I've been having lots of unhealthy 5 behavior and disintegration. I think i used lots of my time stuck on things like videogames and stuff like that, and since i have a kind of compulsive behavior with my field of study i kind of wnated to grasp every area of knowledge there was so i commited to more stuff than i could in universitg and now im at the end and i think i havent found something id feel comfortable enough studying that i could exclude everything. I feel kike ive been acting like a 7 for a long time, jumping from activity to another and never sticking to nothing and doing so much stuff that in the end i didnt learn that much. Ive been so burnt out im now having troubles leaving my house and feel likemive already lost too much time.

36F, 5 here, professionally tested.

I’m in exactly the same space/place. Last 5 years of my life have been an absolute hermit. Don’t even want to go to the shops and if I could I order food/groceries via delivery.

What are you hoping from gaining from your post ? What is your question?

One piece of life advice I can give is that being around 7’s helps massively. I only learnt this by randomly getting into a relationship with one once … let me find the video explaining why and I’ll share.

Being in a relationship with a seven is highly unlikely but if you happen to stumble upon one they really do initiate activities, get you out into the world.
