> In what small ways can I find joy?
Goals, hobbies, volunteering, basically anything that adds dimension to your life beyond a work drone. I am almost impressed that you lasted so long with such a lifestyle.

I was in a similar situation. I bought a dual-sport motorcycle and occasionally head off into the mountains for half a day (It is about 10 miles from my house to National Forest). Originally my wife gave me a mild amount of crap for buying a new motorcycle and occasionally taking off.
I looked directly at her and said "If I was single, I would live in a much smaller house and spend my non-working time riding." she got the message.
Since I'm always happier when I get back, she has come to support my hobby. I even heard her bragging to a friend about how "real men" need to go off into the wild on occasion.

have kids you enormous tard

sounds like you've failed utterly. I know some methheads who work odd jobs and are more successful than you.

Spice up the sex life with something new. Get hooked on browsing Bandcamp for new music you've never heard of. Walk more. Take a few days off and just spend them staring into the woods, without your phone or anything, it can really unwind you and make time stand still. Take a road trip. Do an ayahuasca brew. Build shit as a hobby, and try to get good enough to sell it for unreasonably high prices on Etsy. Get into a good book series. Hop on over to /diy/ and see if anything there strikes your fancy. Go to more concerts. If you can't make time for happiness in your life you will become miserable, and having been there, I'll tell you no wage is worth total misery and feelings of being stuck.
