So I seriously hope we are helping, but even if we are you really, really, really should talk to someone local. Might not need a shrink, but just talk to your GP. This could be a temporary blues thing, could be something that you just can't manage with will power alone. Don't take it as failure, weakness or any of that stupid crap...some people are compulsives but they can manage with help. Other people sometimes see everything black but they can manage with help.
Remember it's hard to see the entire big picture if you are in the center of it. It's difficult to be objective about life, when life is currently putting the screws to you. Seriously make an appointment to see your GP.
Don't know who you are, don't know about all of your situation, but if it's worth asking us then it's worth talking to someone who helps people with this sort of thing every week.
Nothing wrong with setting the bar high and having goals and expectations, but man life happens. But it ain't over yet, so long as you are breathing things can get better. Just because X didn't work out doesn't mean Y can't happen.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
