    These are my thoughts every day right now, and I don’t know how to get out of that depression loop.

    I’m about a year and a half in remission from cancer. I started a new career to better my work-life balance and take care of my health. I thought surviving would give me a rejuvinated outlook on life, and I would “enjoy the little things” more.

    No. When does that start?

    Instead, I wake up every day thinking, what is the point? Who am I living for if I don’t have the time, money, or resources to do anything that brings joy to my life.

      Move to a new country. Make life work for you, not the opposite.

        They don’t have enough time/energy/money to find fulfilling repast on the weekends and your advice is to leave the country?

        Such sage advuce should only be dispensed by Paris Hilton; “Stop being poor!”

        So easy.
