Myself, I get depressed because I set too high expectations for myself. This is followed by being overwhelmed, depression and lethargy in the same order. And the cycle continues. 

Sounds like you are just conditioning yourself to feel extremely sad whenever you failed to achieve your goals. People fail when they try to achieve a lot in a short period of time. 

Play the long innings. Choose targets that can only be achieved in the long term.

I don't need your advice, but @thanks for trying. I tend to have unrealistic expectations so I can push myself. I feel sad sometimes, but who doesn't? Besides, I have too much to do that I won't kill myself. So, what should I be worried about? Mental health? Not really a concern at the moment.

Up to what level ? Highly narcissistic person is not grounded to reality. They cant empathize others. I don't want to be such.

Btw You can't dictate me... I will be me.

If you know that there is a chance that you can fail then why feel sad?
