Do you feel yourself comparing your life to other people. Maybe you should accept where you are in your life and not judge yourself too harshly.

Anxiety disorder is not rational. The thoughts that we get sometimes when we suffer from anxiety can be irratitional. So dont compare yourself with people who do not have this disorder. What you do is what you can do. There is no template for you to follow. We are individuals who live in the way that we can deal with. Anxiety disorder can be overcome for most people, so don't think this is necessarily your life forever. Your doctor should be able to refer you for therapy or counselling to help you deal with things.
