"There's no success like failure, and failure's no success at all." Robert Zimmerman a.k.a. Bob Dylan
What's the opposite of success for you and for everybody else: it's failure, so you're determined to "fail" if you don't "succeed" via the parameters you set for yourself.
("How's that again?")
All this stuff about helping people via your own depression is all fine and dandy, but think of yourself first. I realize this may appear selfish but you'll be no good to anyone, most of all yourself, if you cannot overcome the very thing that prevents you from such goals.
Either that or strive for a new definition of "success."
And don't take this life too seriously, or for granted, it's all that we know at this level of consciousness. Leave the metaphysics to the metaphysical doctors, who are all miserable trying to define that which is ineffable.
See? You make all the sense in the world, and that's just ducky!
