Talk to somebody. Statements like this should be taken seriously. Even though you kind of say the opposite in the first paragraph of your post, talk to somebody about the feeling that prompted that initial sentence in your title. Could be a member of the clergy, a good friend, a family member, a hotline. Just somebody.
There are always ups and downs in life. A few years ago I was diagnosed with a major disease which could have gone really badly. I was disabled from working, I was a shell of myself.
Now I've had a transplant to give me a new lease on life, I'm working at something I really love and I'm thankful for my life every day. You just have to get through the really bad parts to make it to the good parts.

Any suggested reading besides the Bible that can help me?
I love literature. There are tons of stuff you can read to give you perspective. If you are looking for stoicisim, try Hemingway, maybe Old Man and the Sea - that's a short read. Or try something like Zora Neal Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God to see how one person dealt with all kinds of challenges and changes.
One practical tip - do things that have a physical component and if at all possible take place outside - something as simple as walking, bicycling, mowing the lawn, working in the yard, etc, If you are into it even something like fishing, hunting or golf can give you both physical and emotional/mental benefits.

I want to hear more about the “unhappy” wife. This pisses me off more than anything. Let me guess, she got an audi and not an infiniti or something trite like that.

Polishing the Mirror by Ram Dass and The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. I hope things get a bit brighter for you soon, that is an incredibly tough run you’ve had.

Agree completely OP. Got my internship canceled because of COVID. I'm 36 and and now I won't get certified for 4 years so my infant will end up being the poor kid at school. All my fault for avoiding a real career for too long of course. And yes I worked hard at every shitty job I had but never could play the political game well enough to advance and make a living wage. Poor me.

Man that's a rough few months for anybody and I'm sorry you're going through it. I don't have any magic words but like you said you do at least still have the two most important things. Life is going to be hard probably for a while but as long as you have your kids to fight for and your health to allow you do it you can come out the other side.
Good luck and God bless brother.

I’m not attempting to discount what you’re going through, but remember folks have experienced worse and thrived in the end. Our mind is our worse enemy. If you allow it to delve into “poor me” it will succeed because we all have bad experiences that can be exacerbated . I’ve gone through a few rough patches in life. The one constant that has always helped is to trudge along. One step at a time. Find the positives in life and avoid highlighting the negatives. Stay busy. Join a gym or a social group. Delve into a hobby.

It will pass my man. Keep your head up and keep moving. Vent here if need be.

I’ve always been a take everything head on, grit my teeth and push through kind of fella. I always thought only you can control you and the only person you effect by being in a bad mood is you, because nobody else cares. But, i will tell you this, after i lost my father unexpectedly my life fell apart in every way. Finally giving up and talking to a professional changed my life almost immediately.

Keep fighting my man. All of those things are hard individually to deal with and collectively it's a lot of weight. But we're going to make it through this. Your kids need to see you deal with such a shite time in life to be able to deal with difficulty later in their lives. Hold your head up, downsize if you have to, and show your kids how a man straps up and works through the tough times in life. This is our WWII, our Great Depression, etc. We men need to band together and fight through or the whole world will collapse. Literally.

I haven't read through the whole thread, but I can tell you that exercising and eating healthy saved my life when I was going through a bunch of shite similar to this 8 years ago. Having that daily and weekly exercise/weight loss goal really gave me something to be passionate about. That's not to mention the benefits of working out like endorphins. Hope all gets better soon.

Go on a trip somewhere in nature to get some balance. Somewhere spiritual, a place you've never been..

My recommendation as well. It’s what helped me find balance in my life. Sorry to hear about your hardships, man. Stay in there, if nothing but for the sake of your kids and then for yourself.

Sorry brother:(
I'll throw you and yours a prayer

I have had a very similar past year. I listened to Goggins “can’t hurt me” and it legit changed my life.
