Do you want to just die sometimes?

Question

I just look at my future and think that no matter how hard I try, no matter what I do, my life will always be hard. I am trying to break into a career that does not accept minorities, esp Black Women. I am young and even though I bust my *** to land a job, I am still being descriminated against. Sometimes, I really want to end it all. Just take my life and find out what's on the other side. I am not psychotic but I am tired of getting the shorter end of the stick and then praying like everthing is magically going to turn into something great. Does anyone else feel like this?

Answer 1

I lot of people have gotten the short end of the stick in life. First, let a little bit of happiness in for the fact that you're (hopefully) healthy and have people around you that love you.
next, either move to a place where people aren't discriminated against (I suggest Canada - we love everyone)...OR blaze a trail for everyone where you live! Force those assholes to accept minorities, take it to your town officials or whatever. Make the way for every black woman or ethnic woman that comes after you. You think life's hard? Well then be harder.
I've felt like you before but somehow you just gotta get mad instead of feeling suppressed. You're going to let those jerks in the way of your career win???
come on. I thought black women had a little more gusto than that.
Things don't magically turn into something great, you make them that way. Everything in life is hard. It's what builds character.

Answer 2

Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. It is the most selfish thing you can do.

Everyone's lives are full of trials and tribulations no matter what race you are.

You need God in your life. I suggest you get a New Living translation of the Holy Bible, it is written in plain modern English and find out what's on the other side and the only way to get to the right place.

Don't show contempt prior to investigation. Knowledge is your best weapon. You will gain wisdom by reading God's handbook for life.

Answer 3

I get bummed, that's only natural, but not "want to die" bummed. If your career field is so hard to get into, why'd you choose it? Did you know that ahead of time? Hang in there if that's something you really want to do, but have a backup plan.

Our life is what we make it. We can choose to be happy or unhappy. I know that sounds cliche' but it's true. Find things you love and focus on them...don't let the job issue be how you define the quality of your Life. There's so much more!

I wish you the best in the future. Until you get in where you want to be, do your best to make what you've got right now as fabulous as you can! ☺

Answer 4

Yes I feel the same way. I too am a minority and I know what you are going through. However... you are wonderful! There is no need to do anything drastic. There is always a brighter side. Ask yourself if you really want to do this. If the answer is yes, you will find a way. I promise.

Answer 5

I'm sorry that you're going through this...yes, of course we all go through times like that, you're not alone. Unfortunately, it's still a mans world and women will be under-paid, under-mined, and under-estimated. Men suck. Don't give up your precious life because you are being held back, do you think that Oprah let that stop her?! Hell no. You have to pick youself up and get back in the game. It's really easy to give up and get discouraged and throw in the towel...but it takes a woman of character to know her self-worth and be determined enough to take action and set out to achieve her goals. Now go take a shower, give yourself a pep-talk ("today's the first day of the rest of my life!") and hold your head up high....be positive...show confidence....thank God for all of the good things in your life and ...land that job!

Answer 6

yes you're not alone, but please realize that you don't have to feel this way. I wish I can give you advice to just fix everything but I can't. But I can say this: there is no weakness in confiding in a therapist, especially if you're having these thoughts, they can give you the right advice. Take care of yourself
I'll pray for you too

Answer 7

you dont have to suffer alone...

you can even get those basta*ds who are discriminating you and go to the anit-discrimination board thingy...

my autie is the head of that place so i know she'll help you..
well not my auntie personally, but they're there if u wanna get those kind of people put where they should be!

hope your life gets better and i hope you'll live happy :D

Answer 8

No. i just wish i was never exist. sometimes i think to hurt my self, just don't have any guts.

But we don't have any choice, just trying to do my best and hope things will get better. like it or not, we have to bear it.
if we do stupid things, we'll just make things even worst, especially to those we love.

Try to do good things and be a good person, someday we'll get paid.
