That's what happens when your life is handed to you on a silver plate. Working, struggling a little, raising a family, taking care of a house and other stuff keeps you busy and gives you purpose. But it could just be mental illness in this case, we don't know.
It's not just that. I work, struggle financially, have a family, take care of the house. But I also struggle to be hopeful for the future. Doing all those things can give you a purpose, if you feel like it will end positively. When the future starts to look more and more bleak, the struggle is only a struggle to survive, not a noble, valiant fight that you think you will win.
