Does anyone else constantly feel like they miss out everything?

I feel like I'm constantly having to choose between work and social life, or between self-care and productivity.<br><br>Most days I have to start work at 8:30am, and I don't have time to do anything else except work, eat dinner, and sleep.<br><br>Then, every other weekend, my period comes and I can't do anything. I can only sleep for days. Every other weekend, I have to miss out on social plans and other fun things because I'm too sick to leave the house.<br><br>I can't find a job that pays me enough to live because I had to drop out of college because I was sick all the time, and I didn't have time to study with all the days I missed. So I'm stuck in an underpaid job and have to sacrifice so much time for work because of the commute, having to do chores, cooking, and trying to find time to study so I can get a better job.<br><br>I see other people can enjoy concerts, go to the gym, travel, see friends, spend time with family, have fun, and feel fulfilled with their work.<br><br>I've been wasting my life for so long, I don't know how much more I can bear. I'm tired of being stuck in this situation and feeling so powerless.<br><br>I tried therapy, but I couldn't get help. I tried to talk to my doctor but he just said I have to learn to adapt. I tried joining clubs to meet new people, but I have to cancel plans so often because I'm sick. I feel like I'm wasting everyone's time.<br><br>I'm tired of feeling powerless and useless.<br><br>Does anyone else feel like this? <br><br>Any advice?
