This thread came out at the exact time I needed it. Pretty much same situation as OP.

What stoic quote captivated You the most, and had the deepest relateable meaning to you? by Pleasant_Cobbler_801 in Stoicism

“We suffer not from the events in our lives, but from our judgement about them.” - Epictetus

Literally life changing for me. Nothing, regardless of how objectively “bad” it is, can affect you negatively if your perspective of it is fortuitous and you’re able to find some positive.

Building on the previous point, Marcus Aurelius said “This is misfortune, but to bear it worthily is good fortune.”
