I have recently discovered my purpose and am working towards making a career out of it. I also just started a job, less than 5 months ago. I am really struggling staying focused, motivated, and dealing with low mental health, but I don't know when to try to move on. I constantly fantasize about quitting, though I know that is not the right decision. I do not plan on being with this company long term (as soon as I am able to enter my new career), but I know that my dream job is not going to hire me tomorrow. Im wondering if I should begin actively searching and applying for roles in my chosen career path or is it too soon? Will people take me seriously as someone who has done a lot of job hopping?

Job hopping is only hopping when it's done arbitrarily and without purpose.
Since you are no where near your "purpose" I'm assuming your would try to make a focused and well considered move towards your dream.

I think you should try job searching! Job hopping is much more common now, and if done intentionally — which it sounds like, because of your purpose — then you can always cite that in your interview.
