How do you cope with knowing that you’re too far behind everyone else your age?

I turn 20 in 2.5 weeks. I was in intensive mental health treatment for a year from 18-19 and missed out on so much: college, friends, work. I just finished my first semester at community college, but people from my high school already have their associates degrees, have decent jobs and hell, one of them was recently married. I assume I’m not the only one who feels so far behind and it brings me down so much. How can a person cope with it?
