I'm assuming you're in the US. The insanity of employer-tied benefits (esp. health insurance) keeps so many of us chained to the wheel. I know where you're coming from, and I'm about on your timeline too. Like you, I have moments of positivity, moments of despair, and moments in which I realize I'm spending way too much obsessing over color-coded spreadsheets. I know it seems overly simplistic, but for me getting out into nature in some form (hiking, camping, kayaking, or even just a walk around the block) seems to hit my reset button when I'm stuck in a loop. Seeing myself as small and insignificant, a mere speck in the universe, seems to kick me in the can and put things into perspective. :)
