I'm beginning to think I might not actually suck

I recommend reading some Dōgen instead, start with Instructions for the Cook since you can actually try and apply some of it to your own life in a practical way when cooking.
You are seeking knowledge of religious teachings earnestly, yeah?
You wouldn't happen to be posting on here masked in so much irony that nothing you say holds any meaning any more but instead seeks to cause banal discord for minor amusement, right?
You wouldn't LARP to gain knowledge of world belief systems as a cope for not having any coherent worldview of your own while also stroking your ego about how much you know of things obscure to other people even if it provides no real benefit to you spiritually, would you?

Trying to improve myself and move past some trauma.
Never had any mental health problems until this past summer, I'm in senior year of college now and I think the stress of realizing I'm about to graduate/getting older/having been in an internship I didn't particularly like got to me.
Experienced a panic attack while driving and had to pull over, it became something associated with cars and now I get anxiety whenever I'm driving by myself.
Able to do it most of the time fine and didn't let it develop into agoraphobia or anything, though I was worried at the possibility of it.
Still get slight anxiety and trying to power through it, might try out Holotropic Breathwork though it could be a load of shit so I'm probably not going to pay for a lesson or anything if I do, just try it out with a friend around in case shit does get bad.
Recently cut down my alcohol consumption a lot which is a good thing, have been eating healthier too. Bought a small journal and writing in it every couple days.
Trying to learn ancient or Koine Greek, already memorized the alphabet and a few words but still have a lot to go. Most of it will wait until after I graduate college though.

Let your arm and leg heal before trying to do anything too strenuous or else they'll end up more fucked
I did Taekwondo throughout highschool, all the way up to black belt, it was fun and a great work out but not very practical
We were taught self defense exercises and other more useful things, but the majority of Taekwondo is looking flashy and cool
Once you've healed I recommend Boxing if you want a serious fighting sport, or Judo for grappling
In the meantime read Jack Dempsey's Championship Fighting in combination with watching highlight matches of Dempsey, Tyson, Ali, and other known names; or read Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki's Fighting Judo
