Don't invalidate your achievements.  You have worked hard to get where you are at with your life and schooling. It's not easy to work through our illnesses and be able to function at work or school and be successful. You are an amazing person and deserve just as much kudos and congratulations as your Bro.
One thing I know about Social Work programs....they can be very selective on who they accept. It may have nothing to do with you per se, but maybe this year you didn't meet their stringent criteria. There will be other programs and other years so please keep hanging in there.
The other thing.....there is a flood of Social Workers out their looking for jobs right now. More Social Workers than there are jobs, so it may take you a while to find a job. Keep plugging away for those internships and something will come.
You have reason to be proud of yourself and a right to be proud of yourself.  YOUR AWESOME!!! Let yourself celebrate that.
Waiting for other people's acknowledgment is going to keep you in a constant state of disappointment that you do not deserve or need.
Acknowledge your own successes. You're living your life for you...not for them.
Congratulations!!
