Fear of failure: can keep us in bed because everything in life becomes a pass/fail situation. This is a lie. We cope as best we can. Above all, do not let the opinions of others overly influence you. Many thing "success" is about money, power, cars, looks, etc. These can be nice but they are impermanent at best. Let a mental health pro help you to re-focus your life on being the best person you can be.
