Do you ever feel so low about your life?

That most people around you are getting jobs, podcasts, going away/traveling, getting a new home, a new puppy, dating, having kids etc.

And what am I doing? Trying to read self help books every week on just how to alter myself, change myself, better myself. (From severe decades of trauma).
Still feeling panicked about dating, about certain jobs, and even about simply meeting up with a friend from many years ago. People say just say to guys, I do have anxiety but I accept myself...but I know they can choose so many others who don't have my issues. And realistically, do I think they'd choose a person with chronic PTSD over a confident woman? No.

It can feel crippling watching everyone around you experience joy, love and life.. while you are stuck for years, drowning.
Have you felt that?

Are you single? Do you own a car? an apartment or house?
I think key things to sort out include a job you enjoy. If you are working something you don't like fix that. Take extra courses and change things for the better.
Next is a place to live. You need a place to store the things you own, someplace you can have a pet. A place with a nice bed, clean sheets, fluffy pillows and a warm shower.
Money in the bank is key to happiness, that can also go back to your job. If you aren't making enough then you need to fix that, it is key.
While you are sorting all of that out you may meet someone and click and then everything falls into place.
