Just started back and already dont know how to feel

I'd definitely reconsider your class selection if you're wanting more out of this game. My IRL friend rolled a warrior and I've been setting him up with gear as a shaman, now 45, by taking advantage of my ability to root/rot to kill anything, farm HG's, quest Crafted and Hero Bracers, etc. He's in his mid-30's now but still broke as a joke because he doesn't have access to cash camps other than FS drops in groups. Even at 40, when I was able to hold down a Hill Giant spawn in RM, he will not be able to do the same.

If the EC tunnel makes you feel depressed, you need a change of class, friend. I'd advise switching before you sink more time into your Warrior. If EQ itself is making you depressed, then I would advise another break from the game. It will always be here but time with your family and kids won't.
