Ignoring or bypassing circumstance to focus on state of mind helped to solve a bunch of weird contradictions I personally ran into when I first started considering these philosophical concepts. Otherwise for me, I feel like sooner or later, Nihilism would prevail.

For me I found that I could create some of the happiness I feel by setting up boundaries for my own person health. For example, distancing myself from people that brought out the stress in me and move closer to those who bring out the best in me. In the end part of it comes from our own actions.
