Thanks for the reply. My roommate was close to me otherwise I wouldn't have posted this on YC. I think I am going to seek professional counseling as many of you have recommended. In terms of reconsidering things... I have always put my relationships with friends/family in front of everything else. I believe that people are more important then anything else and so I give me best in that respect. Although I find my self happy when I am doing what I enjoy the most. For me it is technology, it is learning and it is applying. This is why I am here; being part of this community.

I think I am going to seek professional counseling as many of you have recommended. Great idea. Just don't go to anyone who can prescribe you pills. For me it is technology, it is learning and it is applying. Well put. But here is what keeps me up at night: as the tiny fraction of humanity's population lucky enough to be born in the right place at the right time, we have more ways of "applying ourselves" than the vast majority of people ever born has. How do we figure out what the best way of applying ourselves is? Is it grad school, or startups? If it's teaching inner city high school, why not rural India?

  >How do we figure out what the best way of applying ourselves is? if we could figure that out and everyone figured it out and applied themselves we'd hit utopia overnight.

    Utopia? Oh, no pressure, then... :-P
