Well said ☺️❤️. I had the means four years ago and did what felt right to me: quit the mainstream job and become self-employed, so that I can work on what feels important to me. Which was overall the right move as I am able to say that I did the things in my life that I wanted to do and in that sense found inner peace with myself. But the phantosmia unfortunately still relentlessly got worse over these years and as it got worse each day I was able to work less and less.
The second closest thing to a real change now, imho would be to move out of this failed country, but I cant afford that, neither from my savings, nor from the little energy I still have in me.
