I am right there with ya bud... I am 26, make ridiculous money and usually play video games or binge TV shows to get away from reality.

I dont have any helpful advise, just can share some things that have worked well in my case...

- 1, I would say try making a change... I know youre married, so it might be a bit harder but change cities. Usually when I go this my mood stays elevated for around a month, I have changed 7 cities in the last 7 years moving again next month. I am assuming your job is also remote- if so, I would highly reccomend taking on the "Gypsy" lifestyle just AirBnb from city to city every couple of months... Its not a long term fix but definitely a good short term fix in my case.

I am also a big gamer... the good part is beginning October, there are going to be some amazing launches. Horizon Forbidden west, FarCry 6 and many others... that will also keep you occupied for a couple of months..

Since your married, talk to your wife/husband/significant other- maybe a trip migth be in store?

Also, I dont have one personally- but if your a dog person- Go get a dog! for real- they are happiness machines..

I am not on any medicines but do have a bad addiction to nicotine (I vape) and eat crappy food...

Also- again I have no personal experience- but try meeting a therapist...
