Hey man, I really hear you. It sounds like you've gotten far enough in each area that you are feeling or looking for a deeper meaning to your life - to know your purpose.
I totally can relate to this, as I had to struggle for a long time to find out what mine was, which was actually there with me all the time but I couldn't see the forest as I focused on the trees. The forest of our life is that foundation that gives meaning and clarity what we do. We can use lots of words to discuss and debate this, but in the end, I know I found so much peace knowing my 'motto' and am continually finding amazing clarity and a deeper sense of joy when I see it in action in the world.
If you want to get into a good calm space and help relieve anxiety you can breathe deeply and slowly like I illustrate in these videos. You don't need the device if you just focus on the breath pacer. Give yourself a few minutes and guarantee you'll feel more calm and clear. Do this as much as you want during the day and combine it with walking, or light exercise. Your body will tell you what it needs - make sure you move and don't let all the head-questions dominate your life.

Right now I'm 26, I work an ok job and paying my bills, but its hard to find the purpose in it all, it seems like nothing is truly fulfilling whether it be girls, money, party's, whatever; it all feels kinda empty.
I may get depressed at times but I always maintain a good attitude, I know things always work out and that there isn't much sense in being sad and depressive but man is it hard at times.
I guess my best bet would be to try and find something that I really get fulfillment from but that is difficult, I thought about joining the military for travel and something different but I just don't know, above all I try not to sound like a little bitch and get all depressive and what not but things really seem bleak at times, I really don't even know if I want a family, sometimes I envision myself with a wife and kids but other times I feel like that its not for me, but then again some of the happiest times in my life are very simple, it has been with family, having a cookout eating some good food, listening to music, watching a movie with family, as I get older I realize more and more the importance of my loved ones.
Best way to describe my life is drifting, its like I'm just going by, making ends meet, some enjoyment here and there but nothing with much purpose, I'm just drifting through life, seems like time is moving fast and not much being accomplished.
