I feel a lot of depressive moods are caused by my shattered sense of who I am. I find myself looking to define myself from the outside, like my looks or what I "do".
I think I spend a lot of time in front of the mirrow to figure out who I am.
I keep staring at me and my face looking for an answer.

I feel that before, I was able to be happy about little things and successes because they were MY own or because I experienced them.
Now, everything seems small. Things need to be big successes so they make sense in the bigness of the universe.

Can this be cured, I hope so.

I feel your pain. I think you described it very well. I tend to define myself by what I 'do' too...(since that's how I was defined by my parents...at least in my case, and my opinion)

I don't have any advice. But I am there with you and sending thoughts your way.
