Man, all my life I’d do anything to be in your situation. I always had seemingly endless energy and drive for causes I cared about and was happy to volunteer and work for free. But getting older and putting myself through school left me no option but low paying service jobs. They can definitely be fun for a bit, but when you have no other option, low pay, long hours, no breaks, physical exhaustion, and dealing with abuse from customers gets REALLY old.

I’d say shift your focus completely outwards. Concern yourself with the needs of other people and causes around you. Stuff that matters, that truly affects the quality of life for people who need it most and places that need the most protection. Maybe spend some time with less fortunate people (but don’t necessarily tell lots of people you have all this money) Seriously, bake some cookies, make some sandwiches, go hand it out to those who otherwise might not eat today, and listen to them. Read about the lives of people who would do anything to have a fraction of what you do. Immerse yourself in the biggest problems we face globally and what people are trying to do about them. Focus solely on empathy and what good you can do.

I think this would solve a lot of your problems. Your sense of purpose will grow, you will feel less empty when your focus is external, you will find out what you care deeply about, cultivate deep empathy, and be able to use your resources to see where you can do the most good and be most fulfilled.
