Dealing with Envy & Anxiety?
Background: I recently graduated with a master's degree in Neuroscience, and have only just realised that I hate academia. I am now considering doing some finance exams over the next year while I work a random job. I am also working on a side business (that's the real goal).
However, I'm finding it hard dealing with my emotions and thoughts right now.
I am 27 years old, I have no income, no finance experience, and no online business success. Many of my "friends" are going on to pursue a PhD, and everyone here is likely earning a great salary and developing a huge amount of skills.
I can't help but feel envious, as well as angry and depressed that I've wasted a substantial portion of my 20s. I'm losing faith that my online business venture will ever work out, and don't even know if I can thrive in finance. Unfortunately, this is causing me to lose focus and procrastinate like mad - and I really don't want to be broke, alone, and miserable at 30.
As I'm sure there are some people here that have gone through some shit, can anyone offer some perspective?

How about quit being a pussy?
Thanks. Hadn't considered that.
Not a problem. That method has yet to fail me.
Not trying to meme or be condescending, but I'd recommend you speak with a psychologist. Comments on the internet are unlikely to serve as an effective antidote to your mental ailment(s).
