Personal developement can cause misery

[ADD]

Hi!

I started to work on myself 3 years ago. I have grown like hell since. I realized that even though i'm much smarter now, i dwell way more on my problems than i used to. I had an insight that the cause of this is that i've shifted the way of my living from other-centered(focusing on outer world) to self-centered(focusing on what's happening in my life).

I've tried shifting my attention from myself to helping others and supporting others for couple of days now and i already notice a positive mood swing. So i just thought this insight might help some of you dealing with depression or axiety.
