Im jealous of my roommates life

My roommate (28F) and I (29F) have lived together for almost 3 years and when we both moved in, we were both single. I have been actively dating the whole time I’ve gone on probably 50ish first dates that have amounted to nothing. She was celibate and not dating when we moved in and that was true for the first year and a half give or take and then in April 2024 she started seeing somebody after starting dating in February as she went on three first dates and has now been dating this guy for two years. She also recently got a new six figure job making almost twice what I do. At the end of the summer and she’s moving in with her boyfriend in a nice building (he also makes six figures) and I don’t know what I’m doing but may have to move out of the city back home. Im so happy for her and she deserves everything and has worked hard for all of it but it makes me so despondent hearing her talk about planning her future with him and watching her excel at work when Im incapable of any of that.I’m just so sad and lonely and depressed and I don’t feel like I can talk to her about it and I don’t really have too many other friends around and it just sucks being at our apartment alone more and more as she spends more and more time at his place.
