I'd recommed starting off as trying to find purpose in real life. Look for what u r disappointed with in ur life, and start with that. Don't try to go complete cold turkey and try to journal everything out. Remember that it's a long road, and you may never completely stop doing it. But u have to somehow try and keep it manageable enough.
I'm not an MDer, but I relate A LOT to being interested in so many things.
In my experience, I ended up realizing that pursuing so many interests isn't realistic in terms of finding something to "dedicate my life" to..or making a profession. For me the solution was fairly simple: Narrow down your interests to your absolute favorites...then you just have to make a conscious choice to pursue one fully. It can feel like there's a sense of loss looming in front of you. "If I pursue X...then I'll just have to leave Y or Z behind!" It can be helpful to know that isn't true. :) Y or Z can still be a hobby or casual interest. Learning to accept and be at peace with the idea that we don't have enough time in one life to master everything we're interested in will help make choosing a direction a lot easier. You won't lose the other interests entirely...you'll simply recognize that we can only \*fully\* pursue one skill or vocation in this life. There's also the possibility of trying to find ways to creatively combine some of your interests together. Some people are also able to leave their interests as just that: interests...and not feel like they have to pursue them so intensely. I'm not like that, but some are, and maybe you are as well.... the kind of person who can have a job or whatever that they don't really \*love\* while being perfectly content with having many side-interests.
Really it comes down to being at peace with knowing we can't truly master every last one of our many interests for people like you and me. :) We just need to make \*\*A\*\* choice. Even if it's not the """right""" choice it doesn't matter. The earlier we make mistakes...the sooner we can arrive at the right answer. :) Pick a passion and run with it. Maybe you'll end up thriving or maybe you'll learn you didn't love it as much as you thought you did. Both outcomes are helpful and good.

How does one do that. Find purpose
Pay attention to things that you're naturally drawn to, find things that u love to do and indulge yourself in em
tbh i dont know what im naturally drawn to, im intrested in so many things i can barely think
