>very angry that I couldn't lift heavier
Lifting heavy objects is a very very simple pursuit. You get strong by lifting relatively often (I lift maybe 2 times a week, though I wish I could lift more while still making progress), eating a lot, and sleeping at least 6 hours a night. If you aren't getting stronger and you aren't gaining weight, then you aren't eating enough. If you are gaining weight but not getting stronger, then you are eating enough but lifting enough or sleeping enough, though you can usually tell if you're not sleeping enough because your intellectual pursuits will suffer immensely.

I hope that you can pull yourself out of this dread that you find yourself suffering from by at least improving one aspect of your life. If nothing else, you can be strong.
