LonelyChemist - I'm a scientist also (physicist). When I'm in an episode (like now, 18 months!) I realize what's more important than success in my career. It's success as a person. A good, caring person, one who is connected to others, one who has empathy for others. I wish I could remember that more when I'm doing well, but I'm more caught up in my own selfish agenda. It's unfortunate that it takes being knocked of my butt to realize that, but all I can do is try to remember what my priorities should *really* be when I get better.
Sorry, I didn't mean to turn this into being about myself at the end, but I thought that it just maybe might be of some help to you.
