IDK if this makes you feel better, but I hope it does: after 4-5 years of being a dev, I decided to go to law school and now hate the practice of law (law school itself was alright and I did some cool stuff), and now I want to go back to being a dev. It's possible, but I obviously gave myself a huge and unnecessary career and financial obstacle. In any event, you sound like you would benefit from a gratitude practice and looking into other spiritual and emotional type of advice. If you have 25 years of industry experience, you are old enough where you should have the maturity to have a more positive and understanding experience about this, and if you don't, then that's ok--now you have something to focus and improve on that will benefit all aspects of your life.
