I can so relate to this. Although I am only 26, but I have achieved nothing with my life so far. Or that's how it feels anyway. I used to have it all going for me. Got a house and mortgage with my bf before any of my friends..they all went to uni and I stayed home and worked instead. But that only lasted 3 years before the relationship ended and I had to move back home with my parents. That was 2 years ago. Now I have no job either. No money. All my friends have moved away apart from one. And I am stuck here with nothing to do. I hate it too.
But I try to remind myself that it's unrealistic to try to compare my life with my friends. None of them have had to deal with the same issues. I have been in and out of hospital, made several attempts etc etc so the fact I am even still here, trying to fight is an achievement in itself. Yeah, I still am pretty stuck, but that doesn't mean I always will be. I have good times where I feel a bit of hope and am able to see a future that isn't like this.
