how do I cope with the fact that I'm too unhealthy, old, poor, and retarded to grind my way into being an EMS pilot from nothing?
become a DCS sim autist?

Why an EMS pilot specifically? Does your interest lie with the piloting or with the goodwill and common welfare? If it's goodwill, can you find some other job or volunteering opportunity? If it's the flying, can you satisfy your craving with something like FPV drone flying?

Mainly the flying but want it to be for the common good. (Like, firefighting would be another goal). Kill two whirlybirds with one stone.

You don't want a job in the heli world.
Right now us fixed wing guys are rolling in great pay, benefits, tons of jobs and not enough pilots to go around, meanwhile the heli world is still stuck in the early 2000s with long contractual commitments, terrible pay even in the top end, and far less benefits / time off relative to airline or top end corporate gigs.
When I was a flight instructor I was being paid $35 / hr, had absolutely no contract, and built hours insanely quickly, I was able to instruct for just 1 year before I got my 1,500. Meanwhile my helicopter buddy was stick in a 2 year contract with a helicopter school getting paid slightly above minimum wage. 40 hours / month of flying and less than stellar job outlook for when he eventually gets to leave.
I got lots of lessons with him and helicopters are shit tons of fun but I'd much rather build up seniority in a major, get paid 400k and work 6 days a month and buy my own helicopter than work in that industry. Not sure if it's just due to the sheer number of military aviators that flood the civilian market or what.

Colorblindless isn't as much of a problem anymore.
I've had a few students who were colorblind, and while they failed the dot tests from the AME you can take another test with an FAA guy and get a Statement of demonstrated ability (SODA)
Basically he comes up with you in the plane and the tower will shine a bright green and red light at you simulating light gun signals. Also look at a field and be able to tell if it's dead or alive grass, etc. It's alot easier than the dot tests and if you can differentiate the colors you have a full unrestricted medical that can take you where you want to go.
