Everything is seeming to be problems lately...I try to hang on but I am about at the end of my rope...
Now YA took away my level 7 account because I can't afford DSL (and the associated yahoo DSL email account) and they published my real name online under my level 7 YA icon and they won't fix it.
But that is just the icing on the cake of my problems...

It is not just no DSL...try NO job, age discrimination, past history of having cancer job discrimination, water heater leaking, friends and family dropping off or away, bankrupcy, lawsuits, high student loans balance with no job future in sight...so no I am not just complaining about the DSL...

Look, as for starving world children...I was sending in money for 3 children through World Vision...then I got cancer and had to stop working with no income coming in and had to stop sending World Vision money for the 3 children...so helping others is apparently not very high on God's priority list...and at the same time, my brother died and my cat was killed in a freak accident with a plumber's snake...so God was evidently not happy with me sending money to help starving children...or anything else I do for that matter...I rescue clothes out of dumpsters to help people on fixed incomes and people strapped for cash with children and sometimes cook food for the homeless...so God is not taking notice of my good deeds...or maybe He doesn't notice me at all..

Betty B. I would not claim age discrimination if I were young. You can get student loans at any age with any credit history (good or bad).

Don't worry...it only hurts the first time...that you lose an account for no good reason, then it gets better, I promise.
By the third or fourth account you lose, you won't care anymore and you will even find forgiveness in your heart for YA shenanigans.
You won't care about points and level...so you will at last be free to concentrate on just having a good time in the moment.
Also I think God, if you believe in such a Thing, has other things to do than hate you but I'm sure that believing he does kinda bring some meaning in your life. Must feel great to thing that such an all powerful being is paying attention to your little you.
Please, do not end your life...think about the mess other people will have to clean up if you do...
Edit:
I just read your additional details…
Think positive would be my advice.
No job? Then you can enjoy more time on YA.
Age discrimination? I guess you’re too young (student loans?) so you have youth, which is the greatest thing to have, alongside with health. Think of all the old and/or sick people out there.
Past history of having cancer? So, you’re a survivor! You should rejoice in that!
Water heater leaking? They’re bound to leak after a while, that is how you know you need a new one because nothing lasts forever. Think of the people who just had a house fire yesterday and they lost all their possessions, and their house…
Job discrimination? Take a lawyer and you’ll might end up with some money (you don’t even need to pay the lawyers, they will take 30% of the money you will get).
High student loans…at least, you got an education if you have a student loan.
No job future in sight…did you look hard enough…can you get unemployment?
So, you have a computer and an internet connection and you ask questions on YA and you don’t have to go to work and you’re young and have an education? Think positive. Or think negative if you think about that old and sick illiterate janitor who has to work so he can maybe afford his electric bill.
Also make new friends and start a family of your own.
Edit:
I just read your second additional details…
You should do good deeds because it just feels great, not because you want God to love you or notice you and when he does not, then he must hate you and not be happy by what you’re doing?
When you do good deed and ask for nothing in return is when you’ll get plenty. God does not give out medals and pats on the back just because you act like a good person. Your acts of kindness are not true because you are expecting something in return.
Just be good to feel good and stop thinking that you need additional reward. Your reward should come from helping others whenever you can

These are not God caused. You didn't tell us anything that would depress you if something else wasn't digging at your heart. It must be something very serious. YA levels are just a game. The answers you get can be in that game and be hurtful. Others like the ones I try to give are meant to help. Help see truth, help in finding joy. Your question make me think of one that was posted this morning. The young woman asked "What does it mean to turn you problem over to the Lord?" There was a very good answer tow or three down. It means you stop contending against the world. Leave that to God and then be a man or a woman enough to stand up for your convictions and take the consequences. If you stop worry about how to fix your life turn it over to God and stand by the results He gives you will more than make it you will be respected and honored... IHS Jim

Everyone's problems are relative. True, you may not be a starving child but your problems are your own. I'm sure losing your DSL on top of whatever else is going on feels like a kick in the shins.
I can say this from experience, we've all felt like we are either being tested, (if you are a believer), or that the world sucks beyond what we can take, (if you are not). I can say, if you tough it out...maybe get help for your depression, and plow through the muck, in the end you will feel like superwoman!
No one wants you to end your life. Really. Baby steps...take it one moment at a time and relish the small things you like. Take care, girl!

My friend, God does not drive anyone to end their life, but rather attracts us to him, who is the source of life.
Whilst some may look at your problems and say "don't whinge, it could be worse!" I personally do not see it that way, because if it's hurting you that much, then it is significant to you.
Anyway ... You need to see problems and challenges as an opportunity to grow and learn. I dunno, maybe God allowed for such things to happen to make you appreciate the good times, or maybe to teach you patience and endurance and build character. That is one thing ...
Secondly, and more importantly, we cannot use God as a "coat-hanger" to hang our problems on and blame him for it. Sometimes problems are a results of our own doing. We need to always ask "what have I done to deserve this? What could I have done to avoid this? could I have done things better? Can I make things better? ... etc"
We need to analyse the situation from every angel and see wh REALLY is happening. Most of the time, God has nothing to do with it ... a simple example, ... I cannot stick my hands in the fire and blame God for me getting burnt. If I was wiser from the start, I would not have done something to harm me or attract problems my way."
That's how we learn in life, and God only gives us the strength and direction and guidance to grow that way.
If that is a little too much, by all means, email me and we can chat about it more.

Blame God eh? God has never and will never hate anyone. God sent His son Jesus to save us. We are all to suffer some prombles while here on earth. It's what we do and how we handle these problems so they don't get out of hand. When it does get out of hand, it piles on us and we don't know how to handle it. Shame to YA for publishing your real name just because you can't afford a DSL account. This is what you need to do. Have a talk (pray) with God. Ask Him to forgive you and ask Him to send His Holy Spirit in your life to give you directions to do what is right in His site. Tell God all thats happening in your life. Ask God to walk with you through these trying times so you will do what is right in all your situtations. Thank God for all He has done, will do, and already done in your life and watch things unfold for the better to your amazement. All the garbage in your mind distracts you away from thinking of God and that is what the enemy, the devil wants. Give God the Glory so you can have the victory.

Wcanoodle:
God doesn't hate you my dear. I don't want to sound smug but we all go through periods in our life when we go through hard times and feel like giving up. I do know what it feels like to be at the end of your rope! I suffer from intermitant depression. Very very severe at times. Last winter I was hatching a plan as to how to end it all. Finally my doc got my meds right and I am feeling great today. Bad things don't last forever. Give your burdens to Christ because he truly cares for you. Don't carry those burdens all alone. A person just isn't strong enough without God's help. I am sorry about your level 7 account. that is frustrating. Hold on tight to God's promises of how much, how far, how deep, how high and how wide he loves you. Also, another thing I realized when I was going through my hard times is that I was really really feeling sorry for myself. Self pity will eat you up inside. Try (try try try) to focus on what may be good in your life and try not to dwell on all the negative constantly. You don't want to be a victim or slave to self pity because it will only make your problems worse. God bless you, Kaliko

We don't always know why some things happen to us—nor do we always know where they came from. God is at work in the world—but so is the devil, and we can't blame God for everything that happens to us.
Sometimes, in fact, we are responsible for the bad things that happen to us, because we make wrong decisions or deliberately turn our backs on God and His will for our lives. The Bible says, "When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For ... each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed" (James 1:13-14).
But the most important thing I can tell you is this: No matter what happens to us, God is able to take it and use it for our good—if we let Him. Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery and told his father he was dead—but instead of being bitter or depressed, Joseph put his life into God's hands. As a result, God used him to save Egypt from famine. Later, after the brothers were reunited, Joseph told them, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good" (Genesis 50:20).
Begin by giving your life to Christ and asking Him to come into your heart. Then ask Him to give you the wisdom and strength you need to deal with your hard times. Most of all, ask Him to teach you through these experiences about His constant love.

If this is a deppression thing, then you are not alone. I too have battled major deppression for 21 years now and I'm still fighting. Just look deep into yourself and think in a relevent way, excluding religion,hell,etc. USe your head and heart and find a reason why you wanto to end this life of yours and try to get thru the core issue her, b/c I doubt it is some YA account ban. If you truely have suicidal tendencies, I reccommend seeing a therapist or psychologist about this issue.

Jesus Christ loves you very much. Read John 3:16, find you a good Bible believing church and go tomorrow. It will be the best move you ever made, by the way, I also sponsor a kid thru world vision, imagine that..

If loosing a YA account is the worst thing that happened to you today, then your doing okay in my book.
Just remember there are people in the world living in war torn countries who have bombs exploding around them, they don't have enough food or water and their family's probably dead or coud die at any moment. These people could be children. Imagine being 6 years old in a poverty stricken war torn country and then come here and complain about your YA account.
