While unemployed, I feel competent, I make progress on hard problems nobody else in the world is working on, and I feel good.

If those problems are important, is there a way to work on them for pay? Like through a nonprofit, for example?

Good idea, but he stuff I work on it just for fun, and not as important as I made it sound. My point was that I'm competent and motivated, but stress from work encroaches on that and ruins it.
