A friend of mine (a year younger than me) bought a house today. I feel so behind. After so many medical issues draining my money, moving a few times, and now having my own medical dependent who isn’t able to work it’s hard to not feel bad about myself.

Don’t compare yourself, you’re right where you’re supposed to be and everything is going according to Gods plan. You’re not behind don’t worry

I’m very happy for her, but I also know she had excellent conditions. Living at home while working for the last few years, didn’t get a degree (only a certification) and spend money doing that. Her now ex bf bought her car for her, she’s never had to pay rent. I know the stars aligned perfectly for her and I’m happy she had that opportunity. But sometimes it’s hard to not feel bitter that I am living paycheck to paycheck to pay off an injury that has left me with a lifelong limp and chronic pain

I just thought I’d be further along at this point. It’s hard to not feel utter despair when everyone else around me has something good going on when I’m barely holding on physically, financially, emotionally.
