[quote=Anonymous]Usually I deal with this better, but this holiday season has been depressing so I'm going to vent.

I'm 29, female, multiple degrees, got laid off in 2011 and have been holding temp jobs since then, and was forced to move back in with my parents at the beginning of this year. I have faith that I'll find my feet again, but the past few years have just taken a toll on me emotionally, financially, and even physically. I can't even afford to go out to restaurants and I haven't bought new clothes, seriously, since last year.

Meanwhile, all my old friends are succeeding so well at life. They are having fun parties for Christmas and New Year's and moving in with great significant others and going on exotic vacations. I haven't gone to a single holiday party this year OR last year. I'll spend New Year's Eve with my elderly parents, who are as frustrated with my inertia as I am. I haven't even had a boyfriend since 2011.

I feel very envious of my friends right now, and hopeless that I'll ever have the fun that they are having, and feel like I have wasted my twenties.[/quote]
