Planning to apply this year

I've got Type 2 Diabetes (well managed), have my B.A. in English, taught Middle School 10 years ago, was last in tutoring K-12 in 2022 (2 yrs of tutoring), and am feeling really saddened about the government shutdown in the U.S. and don't feel optimistic about my chances to go abroad due to the current administration. Is it worth it this year or should I wait or what?
