I don't think you're saying horrible stuff, I find a lot of people obnoxious too. I can also understand your frustration with not being able to find a job and I can see how that would fuel your impatience with this woman.

I'm also going to be honest and tell you that I think it is important for you to recognize that work is stressful and draining. That woman probably wants to vent and it probably helps her. She would do well not to take her situation for granted, I agree with you on that one, and she should probably be more considerate of the fact that there are people out there who don't even have work.

But I also think you would do well to consider the fact that you haven't had to live her life and you don't know where she's coming from. I know it's annoying but it is a support group you're going to. She's being vulnerable there and the whole point of a support group is to support each other, even though we're messy. She needs that, and she needs people to listen, just as you do. Agreeing with her is just not the point.

Anyway, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk face I feel for you too. It sucks having people around who complain about their privileged life.
