Secret 12 - Characters in fiction, aging

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is Ted Mosby, as portrayed by Josh Radnor, from the TV series "How I Met Your Mother". He is a man with light olive skin, short, fluffy brown hair and dark eyes. He is wearing a dark gray shirt, a brown jacket and holding a yellow umbrella under the rain.]

I'm turning 30 in just over a week and I'm Scared To Death. I can't help comparing myself to all the characters I've seen on TV turning 30, and I find myself lacking. I still live with my parents, my shitty job doesn't even cover my few bills, I'm broke all the time, I'm overweight and I hate my appearance, I've never been married or had kids or even had a serious relationship. I dropped out of school after getting an Associate of Art degree, and I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I have friends who are older than me and are less well-off, so I know my life could be worse, but I often get so depressed that I barely have the energy to work and sleep, and then I get more depressed that I'm not doing more with my life.

I feel like I've wasted the last ten years.

Too long; didn't read: Fictional characters turning 30 have their lives way more put-together than mine, and that makes me depressed about my life.
