I think the crux of your issue is that you think life is 'all or nothing.' That your simple choices can or will make or break your life. This is simply not true.
Try thinking of yourself riding in the palm of the hand of a purely comforting omnipotent being taking you on a ride where ever you want to go. That every choice you make is the right choice. There is no bad or good. There is no right or wrong, if what you choose doesn't carry with it the intention to injure or harm yourself or others.
If you accept that you can find happiness ONLY inside yourself and that it never ever ever comes from outside of you, or from your possessions or from the people you know, the money you make or the people you date, then you will never have to worry that a choice could bring you unhappiness. You are your own fountainhead of happiness.
Every choice, whether it turns out to have positive or negative connotations to you personally, cannot be the wrong choice. Just a learning experience to take you to the next step on your path.
You are always right where you need to be, at that instant in time.
It's a very pleasant, comfortable philosophy.
