If you’re truly in a situation where you cannot change the negative pressures on your life, that sounds like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is probably going to be more helpful than psychoanalysis.
At some point all you can do is practice changing the way your brain responds to things. I found that very frustrating at first when I started Mindfulness / CBT but eventually I realized the wisdom in it.
There are many smarter than I that have written a better ethos. Their words have been demonized by those that control. The same who decided that history began when control was first taken, ignoring the cooperative millennia that first made humans the most influential species on this planet. Being kind is our instinct, we just need to reject our conditioning into competition. We need a system that rewards camaraderie rather than domination. We need communism, or we will destroy ourselves.

That would require a new ethos. We need you to write one, please. We need it. Our collective history has been built around utilitarianism/enslavement.
