Not a therapist, but would probably switch my life with yours in a second. I am the same age as you, in tech in a third world country and working two jobs and eighty hours a week to afford a good future for my kids. I will have to probably keep doing so into my fifties to give them a good education. Bottom line, it might be a matter of perspective.

It must be hard to do what you are doing. One-upping OP on hardship does not help him deal with his situation. Suffering is subjective and depends on your ‘baseline ‘ - which is hard to override.
