I live in India, and I face the same situation time and again, which you are facing now.
I've come to a conclusion that it's because of Hacker News, the more you see HN, the more you get worried by watching a lot of start-ups growing in front of you, and you can't do nothing but press an upvote button, applauding their success.
What you need to do is close HN and minimize the time you spend on it, instead work on something, start small and don't get depressed easily.
The stories you see on HN are months hard work, they also feel same time and again, but they don't lose hope.
I know my comment is bit harsh and not sympathetic, but IMHO right now you don't need sympathy instead you need motivation.
