I just turned 30. Shouldn't I have accomplished something with my life by now?

I have a PhD and am currently a post-doc.  I am really struggling to regain momentum in my work.  I have severe depression and find it incredibly difficult to do research.  I *do* want to keep doing this, but I've been struggling for so long it's becoming hard for me to believe I'll ever be able to regularly contribute to my field...much less get a tenured position. And now it feels like the window on making a significant change in my output is shutting quickly.  How do you (other academics) keep your drive when results are (often) few and far between?   

Edit: Thanks everyone! I really appreciate your feedback.  I'll definitely be looking back to this thread when I'm particularly discouraged. And yes because of your suggestions, I'm now looking for a therapist too.  Depression is a motherfucker but I'm not going to let it prevent me from achieving what I want to achieve with my life.

You have accomplished something. You got a PhD. That's not exactly easy.
If you do have severe depression, worrying about results that are few and far between isn't going to do much good unless you are seeking some sort of treatment.
If seeking a tenure track position is causing you a great deal of stress, perhaps it's a good idea to look into another type of job.
