Dont take this the wrong way but it sounds more like a self confidence issue more than anything else. In the work environment if you can appear more confident than your peers then you will find they respect you and your suggestions more. Its amazing what a difference it can make. It also sounds like you need to get out there and find yourself a new challenge. You say you have been doing C / C++ development work it should mean you have a good range of skills. Why not look for a new role using a different programming language. You need not be an expert but seeing as you can code most companies would be happy to have you. It would offer you a good platform to renew yourself and make an impact in a different company.

> Dont take this the wrong way but it sounds more like a self confidence issue more than anything else That's very real. I'm a loser -- now and forever, and I don't know if I can keep programming because I'm so horrible, it seems. I keep trying the mindful meditation stuff but it's hard when you have people saying they're unhappy with your work and I have to get my (wrong) work checked all the time. I used to love working where I am but I get instantly tired as soon as I walk in the doors. I want to quit some days, others I want to press on. I'm trying to build something in my spare time so I can feel like a winner, at least once in my stupid life. The options are keeping me here, and the sense that I shouldn't just quite yet. Maybe if I press on I'll survive, but if I never win and never quit it probably means I'm at my limits of what I'm capable of.
