I've been commuting 4 hours a day for the last 2 years, and I'm tired. I have to change 4 busses and 4 trains in total everyday, it makes my life a living hell, makes me depressed as fuck and all of my energy is gone before my day even starts. Maybe it could be somehow bearable if I was sitting during these 4 hours a day but it's very rare in the packed trains and busses to find a seat.
I have to keep doing this for another 2 years, please help me, how can I make this torture endurable? Anyone else with a similar situation? What do you do to not kill yourself?

How long is your commute (distance)?
Options are:
Learn to drive or at least get a moped (much easier to learn if you're scared of driving a car)
Move closer to work (if it's really that important)
Find another job

>How long is your commute (distance)?
24,7 km says the internet. It's about 30 minutes with a car, but 2 hours for poor people without cars like me.
It's not work, it's school. I have 2 more years to finish.

What about the scooter/moped option, can you afford that? Alternatively you could cycle 25k on 2 hours and get fucking fit while you're at it, alleviate the depression as well. It will kill you at first but then you'll start to feel good.

I cannot afford that I'm afraid. I know I'm a joke. I don't own a bike and can't even afford a bike but even if I did I have a heart condition that my doctor advised me to not to do stuff that makes my heart race too fast like riding a bike. And there's no bike road (? not exatly sure what it's called in english, sorry) to my school.
So I'm stuck with the public transportation, and I need something to do there. Reading is hard since I usually can't find a seat, I listen to music but it gets tired after an hour or two. I'm thinking about audiobooks or podcasts. So I'd also appreciate recommendations regarding those.
I just have to stay sane for two more years.
