Don't take life too seriously either Tom, it moves along much better when you keep a healthy and somewhat careless perspective about things. Getting too deep into anything where you take it too seriously generally tends to leave you feeling exhausted and often humiliated.
Just get on with it and keep a realistic perspective. There's 6+ billion other people on this planet, plenty to help share the load when things get too heavy for any one individual.
Where do you fill up the void deep within when you're demotivated by external issues in programming?
Whenever I hit a bottleneck, I feel like I do not have the power to fight over it, I do not have the knowledge to fix it, nor do I have the ability to predict myself when I will be finishing it. There's this urge inside of my body, wanting to do something about it, wanting to know why it does it, how it does it, what's the reason behind all of this, and many many uncertainties I could not answer by myself. I am wrong.
Is this what people call it "depression"?
No. If you have motivation to do something about it it's not depression.
Hitting a bottleneck and having no idea how to attack it is a sign you've set your goals too far ahead.

I wouldn't say you put your goals to high, I think its more expectation of yourself. Isn't the point of a goal to reach it through trial and error and issues.

Sure, but you're supposed to set goals slightly beyond what you're capable of. You research, experiment, work at getting yourself so your capabilities slightly extend to achieve it. If your goal is too far out there, you run into this issue; you don't even know where to start.
