Yes, you have a right to complain. Even if you don't have it as shitty as someone else, it doesn't mean your shitty isn't important.
Sometimes I walk a lot, and my feet hurt. Now, if I complained to someone with no feet, about my feet hurting, that would be stupid and insensitive. HOWEVER, if I am just hanging around with friends, and say damn, my feet hurt, it doesn't make them hurt any less because someone has it worse than me. I am just lucky I don't have it as bad as them, but my bad still blows for that moment in time.
And FARK, I think I just confused myself...
What I am trying to say is, don't feel guilty about complaining or feeling down because someone else has it worse than you. Someone will always have it worse than us, but that doesn't mean our problems aren't important, big enough to feel bad about, or what not.
I have complained about my husband before, and I wanted to smack the person that said "Well, at least YOU have a husband to complain about!" Instead I smiled and said "Ya want him? I can have him packed and ready by the weekend." :D

We all have our down moments. Because others are having hard times, doesn't mean yours is less important. It's good that you recognize you needed a bit extra.
