I know the feeling only too well. Rest assured it passes, just like rain passes. And, like trying to make it stop raining, trying to feel different doesn't do anything.

There's plenty of good advice in this thread. Take in but be wary of falling into the trap of "If I just 2x my salary, then I'll really be happy." (Or buy a house, or get married, or get a job at google or whatever) It's best to focus on the now as much as you can, because in 5 years time you'll find that you're living in "now", not in some magical 5 year future time.

Find your happiness in what you are doing now, whatever that is. By all means make improvements, but aim for small and immediate over long term and big overarching goals.
