Women seem especially well-adapted to the trauma spaceflight inflicts, and have better caloric efficiency, at least according to this NASA study:

Given your description, I wonder if perhaps you're burning out due to over-committing to your work. Caring about the work one does is laudable, but if it's the only thing one cares about, it will never completely satisfy, and a passion-then-quit cycle like you describe seems to be a familiar result.
There are plenty of suggestions online for ways to avoid burnout, but it seems like it's even harder to diagnose than prevent, and usually involves a lot of soul searching. I unfortunately don't have any good recommendations for either diagnosis or prevention, but it might be worth considering as a possibility.
If you're not familiar with the patterns of burnout, I found this article to be a good introduction: http://nymag.com/news/features/24757/

I'm unclear on why this recommends setting up a user account for every committer. I'm a big fan of simply adding each committer's ssh key to a single "git" user account to avoid the overhead of managing multiple user accounts--you have to make sure each ssh key line is identified by the user submitting it in case it needs removal in the future, but it's much easier to manage adding and removing users.
There are some additional configuration steps for that single user, but most are covered in the manual at http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-...
Is there some advantage to separate user accounts that I'm missing?
