Balance is a great goal! It was one of my goals for the past few years until I realised that, being cyclothymic/mildly bipolar, I'll always struggle with balance and it's a lifelong goal rather than a New Year's resolution.
I feel you on the fandom front. It's almost like reading about myself. Finding the way to interact with fandom in a healthy, fun way is a great goal. Back in my first year/year and a half, fandom took up all the space in my life: 90% of my reading was fics, 90% of my free time was spent on tumblr and later discord exlusively posting about drarry, 99% of the people I interacted daily were drarry fans. It was unbalanced, and no wonder it made something like "who recced me or not" feel like the end of the world. I hope you find the balance you're looking for and that fandom becomes fun again :)
