Work can be satisfying or it can be just that, work. Everyone works, regardless of whether it is for financial gain or to survive. Life is hard work. Just living is work. It is a matter of figuring out what helps you and what hurts you. You could stay in a job that is hurting you for the rest of your life, or try to find another job that is more satisfying. I understand it seems to you that those who are financially secure are happier. But no one knows each others struggles, and it could be all taken away again. We don't live here to gain material things, and this is only my perspective, take it how you feel, but I just want peace. It is so distressing to see people in poverty and being hurt all over the world, with very little we can do about it. If work is causing you great distress, please try to find ways after work to de-stress, and things that will help you decrease your anxiety. Like social groups, calming activities, eating healthy and taking care of yourself.
