At least you have found what is causing you anxiety, depression, and unhappiness.

You look to be on the right track despite your name ;)

Why do you not have control over what you eat for breakfast in the morning? I think you can use this advice now even if you really don’t have control. Think about it from a long-term perspective.

Focus. Focus on making the things you can control more efficient, better, etc. because it does no good to focus on the things you can’t control. That just leads to fear, paralysis, and anxiety, which equals depression in many cases.

So why not improve some other area of your life, which might have an indirect impact on the things you can’t control?
