Honestly, if you feel like you need ot take a break from TV Tropes, then that's probably the right thing to do. As for those things you listed, I can't comment too much on them since I don't know all the details, but it sounds like you've just made some mistakes is all, and some of the things you listed aren't really an issue. For instance, not getting around to watching certain works to see if certain characters qualify as complete monsters? That's not an urgent or important matter at all, and besides, even engaging in fun hobbies requires time you don't always have.

Anyway, I'm not going to tell you not to feel a certain way, because they're your feelings, and if this is a case of genuine depression, then it's one of those things you can only deal with and process on your own terms. However, again, I know for a fact you've definitely made worthwhile contributions to that wiki, so there's no way you haven't done anything good for them. And again, from my experience, TV Tropes is an unhealthy source to be on regularly, so you never know; maybe by taking at least a bit of a break, you'll start to feel better. I know I've certainly been happier since I haven't been on I, because when I was on it, I felt like I was scrutinized and criticized over every little mistake while other tropers were doing things I felt were inappropriate without it being acknowledged in the slightest.

To sum things up, my advice is to simply remember that everyone makes mistakes, and that all that really matters is that you learn from them. That's all anyone can do, and frankly, I think the people who run TV Tropes are pretty unforgiving and intolerant in spite of the fact that they, themselves, are by no means perfect either. So if you're not on good terms with them right now, don't worry about it; they're very hard to please. Oh, and also, try to do something that's good for relaxing and taking yoru mind off of stressful things; even if it's just playing a game or watching somethign you like, it can at least help a lot towards making you feel better and possibly even help you put things in perspective.
