I am suffering from apathy, hopelessness and anxiety because everything is so easy and boring. Even getting a perfect mark feel like nothing because I almost don't do anything to pass them. I don't feel any reward.
I feel weird, rare in a bad sense.

My own level of giftedness is not nearly as high or extreme, but I do know the ill feeling you are mentioning and there have been times in the past when I have tried various things to bring myself down to a more-normal ability level shared by others.
Maybe you have heard something such as what Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker in Spider-man: “With great [ability] comes great responsibility.” Discovering how to make good use of what you have is obviously not so easy, but the reward when you have done so will be great!
