@Yan First, a quick clarification: That counter I am using is for 2026. I went 50 days without games but half of those days were in 2025. The counter is now the following:
Gaming - 7
Individuality, Life - 34 (hopefully 35 today)
Second, I was about to go on a long rant about wealth inequality, and how the world sucks and things like that, but truth is, you are absolutely right in one thing: I cannot control any of that shit, because it is so beyond the capabilities of a normal human such as myself. I will try to follow your advice, and focus on what I can in fact control.
Anyways, today I did not feel so bad at work. I applied a very simple strategy, consisting of avoiding working for more than 1 hour straight, while taking short but frequent breaks. The day was way more palatable, and I was able to slowly get my shit done to leave on time. Additionally, despite the complete lack of leadership in my directorate at the company, I have great colleagues that I really like. They support me, help me grow in my field, and are overall great people. I guess not everyone is a disease, a cancer of this planet like Agent Smith proclaimed in the Matrix.
NEXT STEPS
Like I said before, focus on what I can control: how I conduct myself in all areas of my life, such as the way I behave at my job, the way I deal with my family and their ceaseless demands, without forgetting my friends.
Prioritize my health, above all else: At the end of the day, without health, I can't do jack shit. I will not perform well at my job, or even become incapacitated if I don't watch out, and I definitely will not enjoy the finest things in life if I am ill - walks in nature, the laugh of my loved ones, the smell of paper emanating from a new book, delicious home cooking, among other things.
