Maybe it's your subconscious telling you that you need more work/life balance and look for something other than coding to do in your spare time.
It may be considered blasphemous here but I don't do any outside coding. I spend time with my wife, children and grandchild.

So how long have you called yourself a developer?

You're British.
Straighten your back, square your shoulders, tighten your upper lip, and get the Hell on with it.
Seriously.
Something inside you -- anxiety, fear of failure, it doesn't matter what -- is making you feel this way.
You've got to not let it take control.
Just say "F*** YOU!" as loudly as you can through gritted teeth, and get on with the job.
Leave the "poor me!" cr@p to the Americans and their analysts; you've got a British backbone, so use it.

"poor me" is not exclusive to the U.S....
that crap goes on EVERYWHERE.

Hey, since when were Texans Americans?
So it's nothing to do with you, anyway.

I didn't mention texas. You mentioned Americans, and I was just chiming in because we have a treaty with them - just trying to be neighborly.

Never heard it worded this way before, but it all makes sense.

Sometimes it's "poor me" but sometimes it's a legit medical condition. Don't perpetuate the stigma that it's always just in someone's head or they're lazy.

Even medical conditions cab be beaten back by force of will.

Are you the same person as the user on this forum with the name "Madness, Coding and Meds"?
I ask because you seem to be asking similar questions to "Madness, Coding and Meds" and your sentence structure seems rather similar to me.
Outside of that I don't think this is the best place to ask for professional mental health help.
It sounds like you have fairly serious symptoms and you'd probably be best helped by a doctor or mental health professional.
Do you have contact information in your country/region for mental health help?

Me: Doctor, it hurts when I do that.
Doctor: Then don't do it.
So I stopped pushing myself. I started releasing TakeStock and WeatherMate on my own schedule, regardless of the pressure (especially with TS) to get new features out the door. I found I was sleeping more, writing better code, and generally taking better care of my health. I'm now working on my first "real" Android app (that I intend to publish on the Play Store). The ante is upped with mobile apps. With every bug, less-than-optimal user experience and missing (in the eye of the user) feature, your app takes a beating on the app store. It doesn't matter if you spent months perfecting Feature X - if 90% of the users want Feature Y, your app is going to be mercilessly rated down.
So my 2¢'s is: STOP PUSHING YOURSELF. If you're not enjoying building apps on the side, don't build apps on the side. But assuming that you love doing this kind of stuff (and if you didn't, you wouldn't have posted on CP ), SLOW DOWN. Take your time over each feature. Don't rush to release. Return to enjoying the process of building your app!

The maneuver appears to have succeeded, but they want independent confirmation of the probe's position and course. Hold off the celebrations for a few hours.
