Vent——My last relationship really took a toll on me. My self esteem, self confidence, etc. I’m 27 and trying to be optimistic. Had to drop out of school due to depression, hate my job, my personal life is crap. Hoping things will get better for me

The people who are no longer in our lives aren’t suppose to be there. Some people come just for the lesson. You will grow and learn that life lesson as you mature in wisdom. Always love GOD, yourself and others in that order. Get back to school, find a job you like and date yourself.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

One thing that really shifted my view when it comes to rejection is knowing that at the end of the day, that person wasn’t meant for me. I’ll now have time for not only myself, but to take a chance at meeting new people.

It’s okay to think about the good times with that person, but to also remind myself that there are reasons why it didn’t work.

Sis I have been there. I will tell you what I learned… the most important relationship is the one with yourself. Real love is an extension of love of self. Emotionally unhealthy people attract the same. Don’t judge someone based on their potential, evaluate them on where they are now. Walk away from anyone who brings you down.

Wishing you love and peace. You will laugh one day at all of this when you find way better💕💕💕

I really appreciate all of the positivity. I wish I had friends in real life for support but this was really encouraging. Thank you🥹

Oh Sis! In this life there are seasons of absolute struggle and it feels like absolutely no area of your life is going right. I also feel like as women (apologies all for the generalization) we tend to lose ourselves and our identity to our relationships and our careers and when this things don’t go right we feel lost. I’ve been there, to be honest I feel like I’m just creeping out of this space myself. It gets better but it takes work. Take it one day at a time. Identify little things, no matter how small, that bring you joy and indulge yourself in that. If you can afford a therapist, get one (I need to take this advice myself). Talk to friends and family who have the space to pour into you and emphasize, more thank likely they have a similar experience to share. If you have actual goals and passions know that the road to success isn’t always a straight line, get comfortable being nimble and trying unconventional ways of getting where you want to be. And most importantly be kind to yourself. Sometimes we’re our own worst critics.

I really feel for you. I wish I could give you a tight hug. I went through a similar experience. I was in my last quarter for my BA but my relationship broke me and I took a long leave. 7 years to be exact, but I eventually went back and finished my degree. I would really recommend you find people that support you. People that can listen and give advice (if you ask for it). Going to therapy really helped me out a lot. Things will eventually get better even if they seem gloomy right now.

This sounds like me after my first divorce. This too shall pass became my mantra. Word of advice focus on you and what you want in life. Seek counseling and start looking for a new job.

Hey sis, take time to work on yourself. Everything happens for a reason. Have you heard of BetterHelp? It's an excellent platform to find therapists and counselors. I use it and I have seen a complete difference in my life.

I totally know how you feel! What your going through is normal and your not alone. Give yourself time to heal. Don’t let anyone get you down and always love yourself first. Go back to school and take it step at a time. You got this!

It will get better and sooner than you think especially if you want that for yourself. Every day you are able to get up is a blessing, hold on to that because someone else didn’t. Try to find the good in the bad, like this job I hate still always me to have a place to live and a vehicle to drive, I got to eat last night. You now have the time to focus on you and your well being and not have to worry about someone else’s feelings or happiness. You need this time to get back to the greatness that is you. You deserve that! I hope that at 27 you see this part of life is shaping and preparing you for the amazing journey that lies ahead. When you’re ready, stand up, adjust your crown, and kick depressions ass.

Completely understand how you feel! DM me, I’m here to talk if you need to.

Here’s something I learned when I was in a bad job situation: Everything can be a learning experience. Is there something that you can take away from that job - a skill, a certification, experience, a connection etc that will make your resume even more desirable? If there is anything at all that can build you up personally, focus on that and give it to yourself as a gift. A job is not just you doing work for an organization. In the process, you are picking up new skills, new experiences, getting better at handling people… Focus on those things and get as much out of that job as you can, for you. It’ll make the time while you’re waiting for something new more bearable and it will improve you overall happiness. Hang in there. It gets better.

I’m praying for you 🙏🏽

I will say a prayer for you.
