So far some of my spiritual/religious beliefs in include
-I firmly believe in reincarnation, but I do not think everyone gets that chance of being reincarnated, at least not right away and that some sort of judgment day could happen, like if you were very well exceptionally-behaved in your previous life, that alone will determine the fate of your destiny for your next life
-I believe our souls experience disconnect from the physical world here and there(examples could include sleep paralysis, seizures, sleepwalking, derealizations, hallucinations, I feel like these are spiritual experiences and not meant to be physical ones)
-I do still believe in heaven, but I don't really believe in hell
I do believe in the cycle of Karma instead
-I also believe life is a cycle of suffering and reward, left and right
I taken typology quizes, so far I gotten 2 Hinduism, 1 Christianity and 1 Buddhism
I definitely learned a lot more than usual about my spiritual/religious beliefs during this 6-month burnout perioid of mine
I will say all this spiritual and religious conductive examination on myself has reduced my loneliness, depression, fear of death(50/50), anxiety/stress and upped my self confidence more than ever, I feel that God is perhaps guiding me thru all of this
Sounds like Buddhism is a close fit EXCEPT that generally Buddhists don't believe in a creator god (however, Buddhists are free to believe what they believe...at least Theravada Buddhist).

It's okay to believe in a higher power as long as you come to the early realization that it doesn't believe in you.
OP, looks like you need to choose a religion and stick to it, rather than having an eclectic set of beliefs. All religions are collective, and all of them would bring you together with other adherents, who will help you learn.
Which one to choose? Whichever your parents had . . . or their parents. I wouldn't go for an exotic one, though, but it's just me.

I would say that you are seeking spiritual understanding and that I dislike "labeling" people.
Why should any one religion be the only "true" one? The great spiritual truths are unchanging. It is as wrong for a Buddhist to take a human life as it is for a Christian as it is for a Hindu, etc. Jesus said, "In my House there are many mansions." I have always taken this to mean that salvation is not something that only Christians can receive or that only Buddhists can attain enlightenment. Anyone who seeks to follow the path of righteousness is the same as a Christian who is the same as a Buddhist who is the same as a Jew... All are inspired by the same spirit which dwells within us each.
It sounds to me as if God has indeed been your guide in your quest. Just keep on following your own path and more will be revealed to you. God bless!
