Some times I am on top of the world, other times like right now in fact, I feel dumb, can't even express myself in words, let alone get any content writing done.

What can you do to over come this?

I feel like I just want to cry. I feel like I have no achievements.

Limiting belief got you but it can be fixed. I also thought I can't write any article till I tried writing every day 1 article for a week, thankfully I got Grammarly. Be careful if you have dumb friends you will end up like them.
 
There is a tactic that Jordan Belfort talks of in his book, the straight line persuasion system. He has a large part of the book dedicated to the art of conjouring up your best self prior to making a sales pitch. You should look up the book and read it if you really want all the details, but the short version is that you have to think about, and capture, your emotions from when you are really feeling at your best.

You really have to fix this picture, emotion, feeling etc in your head so that you can call upon it when required and diliberately bring yourself into a peak state for doing whatever it is you need to do. You can also associate a smell to this state and then by smelling whatever the smell is, you can further help yourself to get into that state.

If you can do that, then you can always get yourself into the most productive and self-assured frame of mind thus avoiding the problem of feeling down/dumb/unproductive.
 
Mindfulness, meditation, and a proper mindset book will set you straight. Worked wonders for me.
 
I felt dumb trying to learn Data science. Gave up hope, basically. :p

The problem with me is that I wanted to learn every damn thing. With technology, you can go deeper and deeper - there is just too much shit we don't know. And I love learning, it is like cocaine for my brain.

Started learning AI and Machine learning, found out it was basically "statistics". And wanted to learn everything about statistics. Spend a few months on that.. Found out, shit I don't know complex mathematics. And spend a month or two on learning complex mathematics. You can see where this is going :p

Looking back, I have wasted fuck ton of time but haven't learned anything properly.

It is my version of video games. I've learned my lesson. Now, I just don't give a shit about any new technology. :p I know daman well I am gonna spend few more months chasing things. lol

Exactly!!!! Been there too man. Statistics is not something that you can learn in a day or a month. It takes proper guidance and practice. But I am a big fan of it. I wish I had studied the statistics paper like I did with Cpp. Should have helped a lot.

I ate two miniature shortbread earlier and smoke a cigarette. I feel OK now :) thank you everyone
