Negative utilitarianism says the primary moral goal is reducing suffering rather than increasing happiness. Regular utilitarianism tries to maximize overall well-being, but negative utilitarianism focuses specifically on minimizing pain and suffering across all beings. Some extreme versions argue it's better for nothing to exist than for suffering to exist. It's basically "preventing bad is more important than creating good." Your situation isn't really about moral philosophy though - it's personal exhaustion

i suppose i could be labeled as such?
personally my belief is if you reduce suffering you will inadvertainly increase happiness, so they are kinda tied together, but at the core i believe in reducing suffering (fixing the problem) rather than the increasing of happiness (masking the problem).
