In the event that this helps anyone:

I've since realized that a lot of my unhappiness was created when I started reading all this news about how much money people like Zuckerberg were making while fucking up the world. It's great and amazing that we have access to this information, but expecting my own life and experiences to be different, or expecting myself to be wealthier or more powerful than I am just causes unhappiness when I'm not. I can't ignore these problems, but I had to accept where I am and stop beating myself up over it. Part of that comes from realizing I can remain calm, and work towards a better future, fixing problems as I know how to solve them.
