I am cool with being a midsize tetrapod, and I have reached the point that I no longer reproaching myself for all the things I might have done better. But then, discarding the idea that I have free will helps! If you want some encouraging words though, I have them. I languished in existential angst for years. Decades. Many decades. It is possible to get over it. Be patient, and don't be too hard on yourself. There are quick ways, but they involve cultivating problems that are bigger and more immediate than malaise. A life threatening illness does it for some.
