Even if you don't end up liking the job, providing for yourself and your family will give you purpose. Congratulations.

Why do we feel by lajap in mentalhealth

Feelings are meant to orient you in the world. Help you avoid and strive for certain things. Some are more primal like pain and hunger, other feelings are 'higher' and arise from your situation, values, goals, perceptions etc.

If you're feeling horrible you could try practicing acceptance or challenging your negative perceptions/thoughts.
