>I feel completely useless.
I feel this. What I think you can do is try to look at the journey you made, the achievements you have, and the things you built from the work you did.
Along the journey, what kind of people have you met? Where are they now? Do they, and how are they living in your memory, and how could you live in theirs?
During the career, what were the high points? What were the high points that were recognized, like something you did for a client, and what were the ones where you, only you knew the kind of shit that would have hit the fan, if it weren't for you?
Looking around you, are you surrounded by things that you bought from the money you earned along the way? How was your life at the beginning and how is it now?
The thing I'm trying to get at, is that you're much more than your productivity in your career. Maybe your job is the most useless shit ever but it puts food on the table, enables a lifestyle you enjoy, opens gates for you or lets you provide for a family. And those things can have the value you're missing. Just as an average day doesn't really matter in the grander scheme of things, small slices of your existence might not matter too, and that's okay. It's what we build from these insignificant things that count.
