Hi Deneb,
Don't give up, you've really done so many things that you never thought you could do. You went to Toronto last year, and you went to Washington, D.C. this year and will hopefully (me, too) go to the APA conference there next year.
It's hard to feel happy for someone else when they have success at something that you wish you were successful at. I guess you have to try to find things that you are successful at that are different than their successes. Example: my sister has had the career success I covet, but she's never owned her own home. I still want that dream job, but I know for a fact she envies me because I have a house.
Try hard not to beat yourself up and don't give up.
