Congratulations on your academic achievements, that's really incredible news!
The challenging nature of gamedev and how much you have to give up in order to pursue it is really, really relatable--and I can't imagine what it must be like at this scale. The work you've done up to this point is amazing, but I'm really glad to hear that you're prioritizing health and happiness.
I wish you the best luck with your new roles and future pursuits!
