Daily meditation mixed up with work stress reading

Oh wow, I have not been on this forum for years, since the last time, many things have changed. I got married, change a couple jobs, moved to a different country. All good, I try o keep the hard times out of my reality, I recommend it to everyone.

Anyway, the last time I was on the forum was when I got fed up with everything that was going on around me and said I was going to take a break, well the break was about 4 years, here is my big come back! Haha...

I actually asked two questions today, the first one is:
What should my next move be concerning my career?
And I realized that I need a broader answer so I asked:
What do I need to know now?

Lately I have been feeling extremely overwhelmed at my job, I am stressed, I drag my feet when going in, it even starts the night before, I start thinking of excuses not to go in... Well, you get the picture...
Last week it even showed on my body and I had to rush into ER because my neck and back muscles decided that they weren't going to work anymore! See, it is all work related, nothing in my existence wants to work right now! Gosh, I am hilarious...

I have had the idea of working for myself, a couple of ideas here and there but nothing that gave me an a-ha feeling, or maybe I am just scared of my ideas.

For "What should my next move be concerning my career?" question I got the following:
28 with moving lines 4 and 5 into 46.

Great Exceeding to to Pushing Upward, come on now I Ching, don't tease me.
In great exceeding, the key questions from Hilary were: What is overloaded?, What have you outgrown?, What must you do?
Which are the exact questions that I have, I overloaded myself, I outgrew my career path and as to the last part, I don't quite know my dear.

And after all the confusion, it tells me it is fruitful to have a direction and it will create success, which makes my heart sing. I love it, but what is the direction?
My question to everyone who bared with me until now and read this thread is,
Can you open up The ridgepole warps part a little please?

And I understand that a transition is way overdue and my body, spirit and nerves do not support what I am so desperately trying to hold onto: working at a job that doesn't make me happy anymore but not knowing how to get out of that cycle. I have a feeling that my lovely I Ching is telling me that if I don't gather up the courage to make the move soon, it will all collapse on me. It is telling me that I am stressed (oh well, we all knew that), but there is a purpose awaiting me, I should start the movement to the success that awaits. Okay, well, thanks for the encouragement, but which way?

The image being: A noble one (oh thanks darling) stands alone without fear, withdraws from the time without sadness.
Are you telling me to be brave and just quit my job? or are you telling me to be brave and make your move without fearing what your spouse's reaction will be to this decision?
I would love your insights on Line4 "the shame" if you are still reading.
So this changes into hexagram 46 and guess what? So does my second question!

My "What do I need to know now?" question changes from 50, the Vessel to 46 Pushing upward.

This gives me the idea that I Ching just told me the same thing with different phrasing. It is encouraging me, telling me that it is waiting for me out there and just telling me to go get it. As much as this makes me happy and gives me the green light, I am a little stuck on how to. So does anyone have a good example question for me to ask on that?

The thing that made me laugh is at Hexagram 46, the oracle says "Do not worry, set forth to the south, good fortune"
I have been wanting to visit my friend who lives in LA for a long time now. I have this feeling in me that tickles me and somehow tells me that I will find answers if I just go there. So I took that part very literally.

Anyway, thanks for bearing with me and my ADD, and all your insights are welcome!
Love!
D.
