As someone who took a blind plunge into doing something different, I'd say go for something since the dopamine from doing something new vastly helped me when I was in a slump. I joined a chat room on deviantart and that started my online foray into online friendships. My journey was quite a ride where I had some ugly crossings with narcissists and sjw's, but I also found some amazing people that I consider close friends. I even found got my first relationship online at the age of 26.

I remember a scene from the IronMan films where Tony Stark ignored Jarvis and just tried to fly. Jarvis was highly skeptical due to so many variables needed for calculating the possibility of flight. But Tony just took the plunge and found some sucess in flying and then faced near death due to icing from the low temperatures. Thankfully Tony ended up making it back home where he had Jarvis compile the data to better fly.

Taking the jump into something new can be scary with all the unknowns, but the fastest way of defeating those unknowns is to learn, make mistakes, and keep going. Learning from past mistakes and trauma is very helpful in determining if something is harmful or helpful to oneself. Sometimes there's an overcorrection to past incidences, but it is possible to learn to not panic.
