If nothing works, then do nothing. :) Just be.

No. You are stuck in the Witness state, stuff is clearing. You are not
allowed to identify the source of the vague feelings of annoyance, because
you would attach to them. Anything you try, does not work, or turns inside
out; the message is to stop trying.
The dark night is an unbearably lonely place. Self realization is a
joyous ordinaryness.

Stop trying. Surrender.

I suspect that is subjective. Have you noticed that when you are not
complaining about nothing, people find you very pleasant to be around?

Good, and transient. You will eventually come out the other side, and
understand why the Buddha is so often depicted laughing.
