End-of-Year Reflections

No.12500241 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hey fellow /sci/entists and /math/ematicians. Wanted to ask you guys for some general advice on leading a better life and maybe make this thread about end-of-year reflections. Some backstory on my current situation:

>Be me, top of my undergrad class.
>Starting a top notch masters program in mathematics next year.
>Great physical fitness, exercise every other day and meditate daily.

However...

>Cry in the shower every day.
>Girlfriend left me due to lack of time dedicated to her and overall arrogance.
>My family gives zero shits about my work and constantly complains about my absence at family reunions.
>Mild alcohol abuse and sometimes sleeping pills to take the edge off.

How do you guys deal with similar issues? How is it possible that one can "have it all" academically and physiologically but still feel like complete shit all the time? How do I go back to having a normal social life and being with a caring girlfriend and family?

Feel free to share your stories and end-of-year reflections for input too.
