I had a rough patch for a number of years. What helped me was reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (translated by Gregory Hays). I don't think it's for everyone, but I read it at the right time in my life so it hit just right. It gave me a different way of looking at things. I guess in a way, I started to see myself almost in a third person.. I got my stuff together and made big changes.
