Grind. FInd something to do that interests you to release the steam. You have no balance because you have no outlet.

In other words, work hard, play hard.

No you’re right, meditating won’t solve those problems. It will help you have a clearer, less stressed mindset so you can go out and tackle those problems with clarity. I don’t even know you and I know you’re more than capable of handling those situations in your life.

I take on so much work because getting better every single day is the best drug I’ve ever taken. Self improvement is addicting, and obviously I’m taking on more types of work that will benefit me, and I’m not just working harder to work harder. I have very ambitious goals and the only way to reach those are self improvement every single day. I’ve never been more happy in my life because of it.

Prevent yourself from said coping strategy from day 1 and make sure it never peaks it's head out. The second you move in, have a check list of things to do, one of them should be signing up for a gym, grocery shopping and finding a new hobby. Tell everyone you are new in town and are looking for things to do. For the first six months say yes to everything even if it sounds dumb. The less time you spend alone the better off you will be. If you need to get work done or study, go to a cafe instead of walling yourself up. Find a cool trail to hike if it's applicable.

My problem is coping with the stresses, the routine and overall JUSTIFYING all the stress and hard work for low pay and low rewards.

You answered your own question.

You know deep down this is a low reward path, so you're getting even more stressed because you know you are making a bad decision.

Although I know if i do not do this, my options in life quickly plummet.

Maybe. Maybe not. Sounds like a big issue for you is making things happen so you default to the easiest route you can 'fall back' on. Notice the passive nature of the phrase 'fall back'. You gotta lean forward into the storm. That's about as practical the advice that's possible based on what you wrote.

Meditate. It has helped me greatly with my stress in life, and I also take on a fuck ton of work like yourself. If you know it’s worth it, do it. The things worthwhile are always going to come with stress. Unfortunately that’s the way it works. If you wanna be successful, go grind that shit out.

You got this brother. If you need any specific advice at all on how to handle stress, dm me. Too long to type here. Good luck brother, you got this shit
