I've had / am having a similar experience. One of the things I've come to realize -- and I'm not suggesting this is your problem, but it could be -- is that I often compare myself to other people who I gauge as having a level of "success" (a poorly defined term) that I would like to have. I've found that these kinds of comparisons aren't helpful for me, and I haven't really optimized my life around my career anyway. I was (and maybe still am) looking to project the same kind of success for no good reason. In turn, I've learned to really look inward and think about the kinds of things that "recharge my batteries" -- spending time with my family, working on hobbies that provide me a creative outlet, and not setting really high, unreachable expectations for myself. Hope this is helpful.
