Some random thoughts
The seroquel is going to hurt some areas while it helps some others. I think awareness of this can combat itKeep up the exercise.
Volunteer work on a limited basis sounds like a great idea. You'll be interacting with likeminded people and gaining inspiration during this in-between feeling time.
I think we get married for the kind of things you described. Abandonment may happen, but unless signs are there it is nothing to fear. Codependence among married people who are both working and autonomous (sp) seems like a bunk concept to me.
You've got so much going for you. Getting stuck would be terrible. Maybe your expectations for yourself are higher than they need to be. I'm not knocking ambition and success but it sounds like you're not doing too bad.
Many writers treat their writing like a job. Stephen King may be the most famous. He goes to an office in the morning and works for a set amount of time. Horror fiction and dissertations must be similiar.
I hope some of these presumptuous suggestions are useful.
