Nxious,
I follow Buddhist philosophy and often go to it more than ever lately, when I am feeling stressed out, so that I can get perspective on my feelings.
I found a great article where several Buddhist teachers explain pain and suffering from a Buddhist perspective. I hope it helps you through this stage in your life. How is your job hunt going? Did you check out those freelance websites I recommended to you?
