However, being alert has highlighted two problems.

1) Being awake makes me feel much more miserable about my two part-time jobs. I want more time writing and reading, not doing some pointless, stressful job. Anxiety has increased.

2.) Nothing really makes me happy. My interests are pointless. What is the point in spending time on them? What is the point in anything?

I guess I have to choose between numbness and boredom or painful awareness and...I can't even form/end this stupid sentence

Sorry, I'm struggling to write coherently and spell and grammar..
Hey BBB2,

That actually sounds like big progress to me already! I also really get the feeling that this might help you

(see "SNAP CLUB" described in the first few posts of the thread. See post #74 for what I think is the best overall plan).
