Can't shake the feeling of needing to do more with my time or achieve higher, still bringing my laptop into cafes after work hours or on weekends to browse for opportunites/think of things to do - but with no general direction

I still spend time enjoying things I like doing, but on the back burner is always the thought of wanting to do more (feeling like I'm not doing enough). How do we stay inspired after college? Maybe some inspiration will make seeking "productivity" feel positive and meaningful rather than a burden I can't shake off.

[TEXT] I have roaches in my kitchen and using my kitchen gives me too much anxiety, so I can't stop spending money on takeout. please help

TEXT

I have german roaches (the worst type!) in my clean apartment kitchen, from my neighbors. I don’t care if this sounds stupid, if you’ve ever had this issue before, you know how much it sucks.

Anyway I've been trying to get rid of them for months now. Pest control got sick of making all the visits to my apartment it seems to they've stopped returning my calls. Since then they've diminished in sightings, but I still see them at night mainly. For a good while there I would force myself to continue cooking anyway, but I'm exhausted and can't deal with the anxiety I feel in my kitchen EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I need to eat. And I need to eat frequently so I can continue my goal of gaining weight. So, I have been buying really expensive and unhealthy takeout for the past month or so to avoid being in my kitchen.

I need to face the fact that I could end up seeing one or two while I make my dinner and get over it, so I can stop spending all this money on food and get back to living.

How can I stop being a little bitch about this?
