It sounds like you are using this thread as a sounding board for your own mental state. I also have to chime in on the "why are you concerned why others are depressed" sentiment. If you yourself are depressed, seek help. It's out there. John D. Rockefeller, Bill Gates Jr. and Warren Buffet, as well as many, many, many of the worlds pre-eminent scientists, world leaders, sports heroes, artists, fashion designers, chefs, engineers, economists, musicians, and military leaders all have histories of some sort of depression, temporary or long-term. It is simply historically untrue to say that depression = failure.
Everyone has emotions that they struggle with from time to time. This goes for every single solitary individual who has ever walked - or will ever walk -this planet, no matter how high and mighty, or down and out. It's nothing to be ashamed about. Best of luck.
