How do I deal with this?

I’m in a pain in the ass situation please help

I am currently a student who has been through a lot in the past few months. From dealing with the stress of multiple very important exams to grief. I was a very active part of the cybersecurity community and loved it. This field is the love of my life and is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was an active bug hunter and was ready to leave it and follow my passion in hardware exploitation. But then all the shit starts to happen in my life and I had to disconnect myself from all of this.

All those problems are solved today and I really want to get back in the game. But I dont feel that passion or intensity for the field anymore. During the hard times I would scroll Twitter getting excited about all the new things coming up at the same time feeling sad bout how all my friends progressed and I’m the one left behind but even then I could feel my passion.

Now I look at all the exciting stuff and I just feel numb. I procrastinate learning and hacking. But honestly I am nothing without my passion. This is all I’ve got, I sorta planned my whole life around this. I’ve lost my fire and anger to be great and want nothing more rn to get it.

It would really mean a lot if you could share some advice or talk about the time something like this happened to you. My life’s true source of happiness is gone and I feel like a part of me died.

Please help.
