Cities: Skylines is what I play to relax. You can even turn on an unlimited money/all buildings unlocked mode and just build, build, build if you don't want any challenge. Turn on some nice mellow music and watch (or rather, don't watch) the hours roll by.
If you get used to your rockets blowing up, Kerbal Space Program can be fun. Just let your imagination go for a ride and build whatever rockets you like; once you're in space, it is a pretty majestic, surreal, peaceful experience.
Basically any sandbox building experience is what I crave when I need to unwind; they generally have an option to turn off any sort of hostile action or overall challenge so you can really just do what you like with little consequence.
Hope your life gets better :) I know how you feel (or don't, people always have it worse! remember that) I just worked 56 hours in 4 days of graveyard shifts because my coworkers are a bunch of stupid slackers and my bosses (yes, plural) don't give a shit. I really do want to set the world on fire right now, just to watch it burn lol.
