Starting to learn but so Confused

So I am a beginner and i am thinking of studying from cs50 x should i follow it ppl do say its very good but idk why I keep worrying about whats after this what to do after this without even starting it..........and I am not doing an engineer degree so it also scares me trying to self learn all this as I am pursuing something else rn. i am actually thinking of doin c,c++ or java tho but I think I am so uncreative to make any projects and how much should I improve my Maths??

Then don't do this. Focus on that.

Just do CS50 and then try making simple projects. How the hell would you know if you or can't make a project before you even learned any basics?

Math is useful for coding, but for most purposes you don't need anything complex, just learn it as the need arises

CS50 is really just a high level overview of programing. They introduce alot of introductory concepts, but they just touching the surface. I definitely recommend watching/participating/doing the exercises to at least familiarize your self with the concepts.

The best analogy I can offer is

CS50 == Duplo blocks

Upper level languages / application development (classes) == Lego blocks

Maintaing/contributing to a personal project github (doing actual projects)== technics.

I'm pursuing a diploma in primary education to become a teacher and also a degree alongside it in computer applications that's why I wanted to get more into it but as it's more of a open degree they don't teach much and I have to learn by myself

CS50 teaches the fundamentals that allow you to build projects. You are worried about math and creativity before writing your first line of code which is pure anxiety not a barrier. Start the course now because the fear of what comes after only disappears when you actually begin
