>and any tips on how I can somehow (cognitively or otherwise) deal with this feeling of worthlessness, envy, regret at my bad choices, and despair
I am very interested in how to handle envy, but naturally have few ideas, beyond acceptance and observation.
The envious position tends to see rock star lives, but some lives are better than others, without a doubt.
Bad choices are easy. You resolve never to make the same mistake again, and you are merciful to yourself. And I suppose you could be merciful to yourself if you made the mistake of not being so, and so on.
One doctor, sensibly (if not helpfully) enough said to me 'Why don't you just drop it?'
To which I should have said 'Because I can't let go of the fact that you give me the sh*ts'.
