I'm thinking about leaving the trades. I guess I could use some advice.

I've been working at all fabrication workshop as a welder/fabricator for 1.5 years now, and I just don't think I'm good at this. I haven't built anything of my own, I've struggled to. Welding is fine, but I experience so much anxiety and existential dread when it comes to having to fabricate. It almost feels like my brain can't keep up with all the information and pieces needed to build something. Others in the workshop who's been doing this for the same amount of time I have seem lightyears ahead of me. I just feel so useless. I've been so heavy I've considered smoking again. I'm stuck between wether to stick it out or just leave and return to a field I know I'm good at.
