What you are describing are signs of depression and the challenge is to figure out how best to deal with them. Easier said than done...

By the sounds of things you have famlial resources and are likely in a position to check out various options for improving your situation, rather than being harder on yourself. You just need the will to do so. Improving your nutrition and getting out can help as well as exercise. A sympathetic ear, from a friend and professional counselling would probably help. You just need to find a way to inspire yourself to take better care of yourself and be more compassionate with yourself.

Years ago, FDR's wife Eleanor Roosevelt noted: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Consider that...

And take a look at some of the books that Dr. Bob lists. "Darkness Visible", "The Beast", "Undoing Depression" and other books tell tales of folks dealing with issues similar to yours and overcoming them with assistance from friends and professionals and self-compassion. It takes faith, time and effort on your behalf, though...
