I do several of those things that you mention, I exercise, I donīt drink, I eat somewhat healthy and by that Iīve kept myself from just lying in bed. I assume thatīs one step in the right direction but I though feel disappointed in life and Iīm also very scared I wonīt ever succeed.

It is very good you follow good health practices. I realize that you have ambitions, and that is good, too. It seems like you have more than average anxiety. All I can say is that many sensitive people are more prone to anxiety.
For me, I feel that anxiety about my career, and some other things, led me into depression. I had the anxiety first. I recently had an assessment done by a psychiatrist and he refused to give me a diagnosis, or medication. He said I could figure it out on my own, and maybe try a bit of counseling.
So there it is! Perhaps we need to save ourselves. Today I am going to start training for a half marathon. I will follow a 12 week program, along with meditation. I am hoping the vigorous aerobic exercise will reduce both my anxiety and depression.
I believe for those of us facing these problems we have to work harder. That includes being kind to ourselves, too.
I know you are suffering. I can feel it in your words. That is why I am sending you hugs and hygge! I am sorry I am not in your neighborhood. We could go to a cafe and talk. However, I send you best wishes from across the miles...
