Unrealistic Life Expectations

[anonymooseperson]

I have 1 purpose in life, and its a very 1% luck purpose like rock star or famous actor. Every second I spend not doing this thing is depressing, I can barely do regular things like spend time with my family, do chores or go to a regular day job because everything I do that isn't my passion makes me so tired and depressed. I feel like if I don't achieve this my life will have been a waste and I will be depressed forever. But I also never have time to do it and practice because of my day job, sleeping, eating and my families need to spend time with me. I resent everything that takes me away from it, including my job and family. Its all I've wanted to do for 7 years now and its only gotten more intense.

How do I live a normal life, satisfied and happy by normal things with such an unrealistic standard for happiness and achievement? Its all I want to do and it's driving me crazy that I can't spend every waking moment doing it.

rock star and famous actor have 2 very very different skill sets.
which one would you be better at? What has happened over the 7 years to get you to your goal?
