'list of talents and achievements' you mentioned above, including many interesting and positive posts you've contributed to DU.

Recently you've sounded very positive, and I've admired them.

Include high among them your post to Recursion. Was VERY interesting, and imo a good basis for a lot of your life. Somewhere in there is likely, I suspect, a basis for your self-worth.
