I would suggest a few things:
1. Take some valerian root (infusion or extract) before bed so you get good sleep.
2. Exercise every day (if you don't).
3. Walk in nature around trees, wildlife, plant life if you can. Look at the sky and clouds.
4. Forget about STO and STS. You are who you are right now, and that is okay. Don't think about "what ifs," rather, decide who you want to be. Then keep working toward that. It sounds as though you have already done this, but I say don't quit. You are a unique entity and there is no one else like you—you are an important and irreplaceable part of the whole.
5. Try keeping a dream journal—you may be surprised. When you see repeated patterns in dreams it sometimes enlightens you as to what they mean, and what they mean may be very different than what you are thinking now.
6. If you are able, try doing a little volunteer work. Sometimes when we shift focus from our own plights, a better perspective is gained.
7. If you really feel you have a mental illness, then a professional opinion might be wise.
