First things first: You're not a loser. You matter. You matter to at least someone even if that someone is yourself. I think it's super brave of you to post here and that is the first step to feeling more connected, fulfilled. Coding/working/etc is all just a construct we have to do to pay for shit to live. What about things outside of that? What else makes you happy? Do you like being outside? Have you tried traveling? Seeing the world? How are your connections with friends or family? Sometimes serving others, helping out at a food kitchen, a shelter, etc., helps put things in perspective and helps you both appreciate what you have but also helps you see what role a job has -- that it's not everything. I wanted to also add my +1 to not working more than 40 hours.
