From what I've read, the ability to cope with the sorts of problems I faced--worries about the future, social anxiety--correlates with IQ. No activity I've tried yet helps me see my problems clearly. The best I can seem to do is distract myself. The slow learners in your University probably have a good capacity for handling stress, too.

Thank you. It's hard for me to change my thoughts, to think as positively as you do in your post, but maybe a concerted effort to do so would help with the challenges I have to face.
I'm in a situation where I can't just be a dumb NEET, so I'll end up having to push myself. By some miracle, I have a fiancee. I have to do everything in my power to make sure I can provide for her. That's where the real pain is. No matter how much I like this woman, I know that there are other men so much more able and gifted than me who could make her happy.
Sometimes I wish I could give up, but I know I'll be much worse off if I do.
