And what do you think the reasons for this difficulty in adaptation could be? A higher awareness, maybe? I agree with your perspective and it also sounds like a good reason to keep moving forward, in hope that we'll find out the purpose of this incarnation sometime.
I'm certain that this physical experience is very harsh in comparison to others. 3D experience is already challenging in of itself, but I think this particular planet is one of harshest. The difficulty in adaptation is that this experience in pariticular is so fundamentally different coupled with the general challenge of the forgetting process of 3rd density.
I originally used the promise of learning my purpose sometime during this incarnation as motivation to continue/a carrot, but I have been burned by that behavior several times in the past. Plus I think it can be extremely difficult or even impossible for some to even to know that information. So, I simply trust in my higher self's/Myself's decision to come here. The only thing I know for sure is I will know that information after this incarnation is over. I will thus live my life to the fullest or otherwise risk being so afraid of life that I don't properly fulfill my destiny.

I'm working on it and it's getting better, though. I've tried meditating, but it usually just leaves me feeling more disconnected from the world. However, it quiets my mind. Yoga works better for me when it comes to grounding. And a positive outlook works wonders, though it always feels like a distraction, like I'm not going to the root cause of this, but only finding remedies for its effects- sadness, anger, anxiety. But that's a great improvement too, I suppose, in lack of anything else.
I agree, escapism only makes it worse. It only makes the snap back to 'reality' more severe. I am always trying to mitigate my escapism as a result.
