Navigating life after transplant

Anyone here ever feel a bit of regret about their transplant? I know, its controversial at best. But with the current state of affairs it just feels awful to be so vulnerable. The job market by me is horrendous, gas is almost $5 a gallon, the highest I've ever seen it in my life, and I have been personally dealing with family/friend drama that give me a bit of extra stress. Most days I am grateful for my extra time, and the selfless act of my donor but some days it just feel like all the cards are stacked against me. I try to stay optimistic in spite of all this, it can definitely be a challenge. Any tips of overcoming this? I talked to a therapist a while ago with the same concerns but it ends up being a loop. I wish there were more programs and such for people dealing with this sort of stuff. I feel like if I never got sick or never bothered getting check out, I'd be better off one way or another. I'm 1y 4m post double lung. Sorry for the rant, just tired of feeling like every day is a new sort of fight.
