Is there someone you can call and remind you how special you are? You are probably not "a failure" when you asses your true gifts. Everyone has contributed to something special and it doesn't need to be recognized by anyone but you. If you can't see your true contributions then perhaps another person will help to remind you or a therapist can help you to recognize your true worth.

I am glad you came to the wonderful support of fellow DUers. That is a smart move. Continue to be "smart" and not listen to the "stupid" side of your brain at this time, and all times actually. Your brain can play tricks on you. Don't let it!!!
