Just enjoy life, and don't stop learning.
Something I find helpful is abandoning the idea of goals (at least for a while), and instead simply focusing on habits. What do you want to be like? What kind of day would you think was a good one? (here you can include things like "think silently, with no distractions, for 30 minutes" - NOT things like "have 3 good ideas"; also things like "End each day by listing 3 things I want to do the next day, and make sure th…
Totally agree on the abandoning of goals (and the rest of your comment is also gold). People here tend to be too goal oriented, and that's perfect when you have a goal that you want to attain in an area that you love working. But the truth is that it seems that having all the basic needs fulfilled you don't find enough attraction to the higher needs (in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs )…
1) do something that makes you break a sweat EVERY DAY.
2) Go do something and take some pictures, then write about it. Even if it is just a short walk down a plain street. Find something about it that's interesting and think/write/capture it. This solves 2 problems. Now you're producing something and you're paying attention to what's going on outside your head.
3) Take a look at everything you accomplish in a day. You're less of a loser than you realize. * - making up numbers as I go.
Your answer is "You don't understand your market." No more, no less. Figure it out. If you think about this for a moment, you'll realize that I am right. If you think about it deeply you'll realize that I didn't even know what I was saying... and yet, I was right.
It's not genius that drives innovation; it's the will to succeed.

What is 7D RPG? Google says it's a kind of rocket launcher.
I don't have anything useful to add what others have not said before, but this I deeply recognize: "It's not enough for me to just exist. I feel a deep desire to build, to create, to learn, to teach, and as the weeks and months drag by with no discernible progress made on many of these fronts, my agitation grows." I suggest you read Symposium by Plato, especially the part where Socrates has his word. Although it was…
To the parent: Thanks for the reading suggestion. I will check that out.
Depression is not an all-or-nothing thing -- you can feel better in the morning vs. evening, or vice versa. Early to mid 20s is where conditions like bipolar (I or II) manifest themselves. It's not uncommon for a situational event (like the ending of a relationship, transition from student to the working world) to trigger depression, especially when you're already under stress. You don't mention anything about your d…

Never simply have a goal of losing weight. Instead, think about the lifestyle you want that will take you to a healthy weight. Find good foods that you enjoy and exercises that you don't dread. Your goal isn't to lose weight, it's to create that lifestyle that you really want, which will bring the weight-loss and better health with it.
Maybe use this 30 day method to get in the habit but the key to longevity will be the creation of a better lifestyle that you are truly happy with. It won't take long to see the benefits and being happy with the way you are reaching your goal will make it much easier to stay on that path.
Apply the same method to your ideas.
