Nope, I’m old, with family, been jobless recently.

Experience has taught me that investing the OP’s amount of emotional capital into your job leads to unhappiness.

That's really the key - the situation doesn't change, but you can - and how you look at it.

Either you're a helpless waif buffered by the storms of this world, or you're in charge of at least something - picking the first results in reddit-tier apathy and despair.

The second may not cause much immediate change, but at least you'll feel better about it.
