Deep breaths, Sparky. Slowly in, count to 5, slowly out, count to 5, repeat. Focus on positives as youd do. If you can't seem to do that, then just focus on your breathing and your body.
It is hard when your friends are hurting and there's nothing you can do to help. The best thing you can do now is to take care of yourself so you can be there for them when they need you. Without stinking of smoke.
There is a "down" time around 30 days, or so, that many go through. You may be there now, and that along with all the other stuff is really dragging you down. Stay close, Sparky. Let us help you through this, just as you will help your friends.
Don't compare yourself to others. I've felt that jealousy, too. It goes nowhere. Let it go.
