birthday depression

Recently I turned 34. I love celebrating my birthday but lately It’s been making me feel depressed. I feel like this is just another milestone of how I’ve accomplished nothing in my life and how I feel so trapped in my current life and I would do anything to get out, but I’m afraid that I won’t be allowed to do it on my own terms that I won’t be allowed to live the life that I want to. Can I change my life for the better have any of you guys ever been through this? Is it too late for me to achieve my dreams?
