I want to start with saying that there are always options. It may seem bleak and confined to a narrow existence right now, but it gets better. I have a degree

I want to start with saying that there are always options. It may seem bleak and confined to a narrow existence right now, but it gets better.
I have a degree in Art, I work in IT and currently the best part of my job is that it pays the bills and lets me spend time with my wife and kid. I don't know what your situation is, but I would encourage you to find any little thing that brings you real joy. Find people who share that, and try to get more of your life closer to them. Don't worry if this doesn't fix everything right away - it won't - but remember that just as spending the rest of your life doing what you're doing right now is daunting, changing the trajectory of your life by 1% right now, and continuing to do so, will put you somewhere completely different before you know it.
Go ride your bike, walk in the woods, catch a fish, or just leave the office early. It'll make the whole world look different.
