Seems like now would be a good time for you to explore philosophy. Not kidding. I drove myself mentally into the ground a couple of times pursuing a personal philosophy (which I didn't even recognized at the time as being a personal philosophy) that just made me miserable. Once, I pursued the goal of perfectionism where I ended up devaluing everything I did to the point of feeling worthless. And to pour salt on my wounds, no one particularly noticed or appreciated my efforts at always being right.

Anyway, what kept me from going off the deep end was a radical rethink. I sat down and decided: What is really important to me? Who do I really want to be like? What is good? What is acceptable? What can I let go of? It wasn't easy shifting gears, bad habits die hard, but I felt better almost immediately. It helped me build a much more realistic set of goals to hang my self-worth off of. I think I'm a much more tolerable person to be around because of it.
