Today I get to see the last 4 years of my work burn. Everything I do always fails in the end.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You are not your work, Gud. I know it's frustrating, but it's not a judgment on what you've done or your quality as a person.

Can't say it better than Dana.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Today I get to see the last 4 years of my work burn.
I'm really sorry, Gud. That must be a terrible feeling.
Everything I do always fails in the end.
I know that must be how you're feeling, but that is your brain lying to you. I hope you can get some help to see that more clearly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And I'm sorry, Gud, I can't remember if you've addressed this before, so if you have, just ignore this.
I wish you would at least look into ADs. If you were in constant pain because your leg was broken, you'd take pain medication (I hope). It doesn't magically knit your bones, but it makes it so you're not constantly miserable and unable to think about anything besides the pain.
You deserve to think about something besides pain.

Today I get to see the last 4 years of my work burn.
I don't know if my perspective helps, but most of what I've worked on in the last 10 years has been deprecated. I spent 5 years on a product that doesn't exist anymore. It sucks, but you develop skills and learn things along the way that you can put into the next project after the previous one burns. Accepting that and rolling with it has been a skill I've had to develop.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That must be hard, Gud. That doesn't mean it wasn't worthwhile, though.

My Burrell ispired first eShakti order came yesterday so I am wearing one of the tuinic and pant sets today. I feel very fancy! Thanks for bringing these to my attention, Burrell!
The pants are still long on me despite being cut for my height, alas. I mean, wearable especially with heeled boots, but I guess I will do the full customization next time.

Gud, the skills that have made you a desirable candidate for other positions were the skills that you honed these past few years. Not wasted time at all.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Gud, you gained mad skills by working those 4 years -- skills that your (soon-to-be-old) employer is proving not to be worthy of, that they are discarding you. Getting snapped up so fast by the competitors is showing just how wrong the old was and is.
Sometimes it's not you. Sometimes it's that the captain is steering towards the iceberg and they are betraying your trust, your loyalty and your service.
