>>1 To be honest I was like you, I would let my emotions get in the way of things and it started to ruin the life I had, I started despising life and losing the world to live, then I realized what I wanted to do with my life when I met my best friend who was suffering like I had, and my reason to live became that to protect the people I care about no matter what, so I've pushed my emotions out of the way and focus on the people I care about's emotions instead, making sure they live a much happier life than I have. I know it's not really a solution or the same as yours but I hope it kinda helps.
