I have always found that even a tough decision seems simple when it has to be made, it is when you have time to deliberate it that I struggle with doing what I must do vs what causes the least disturbance. I like the road of least resistance but it is a pain in the ass mentally when nothing you choose is right that is when I am happy to mostly just feel fuckit I will deal with what comes.

It is never going to be easy and a person might actually benefit from rehearsing such scenarios so you can be prepared if even a little bit.
