M y career has come to a standstill, while my friends have moved forward. It is my choices that brought me here but I feel like blaming my family. I keep thinking that people are plotting against me. In fact my family is the best. Later I feel worthless and cry. I was prescribed Accutane for skin conditions; but I have completed the course. Are these feelings genuine or side effects? Please advice.

It’s always easier to blame an external source for our problems than to accept that the blame actually falls on us, so you are not alone in doing this.
Now that you recognise that your choices are what brought you to your current position, start examining how to get out of it, whether it means applying to new jobs or studying further. It’s very rare that people find the perfect job, where everything - the work, the money, the colleagues and the benefits - are as they envisioned, so ask yourself if you need to compromise on any of these in order to move on. In today's world, it's alright to take some time to settle into the right job. I
It sounds like you have a good support system of family and friends; so whenever you feel worthless, remind yourself of this! And yes, you should definitely check with your dermatologist about what the side effects of your medication are.
