Should I Keep Being Depressed Or Just Keep On Fighting Like I Have Been?

Yes I'm coming out with it. I have a confession I feel depressed :snoop:. However, I'm trying to get my life in order. I go to school trying to earn my A+ Cert. However, I'm not happy, and money doesn't make me happy even though I'm broke. What makes me happy is enjoying life and I'm not enjoying it. No, I'm not at the point of suicide, but I want something good to happen in my life. Also, I owe money back for nothing. I was withheld info about the cert, so I had to do a year and a half for my comp-science degree. I changed my major to cert after the advisors FINALLY told me about it. Also, I was lied to in other ways, but out don't wanna put all my business on the net. Still, I'm trying to finish this last semester, so I can move. My highschool lied to me about everything, and this is why I'm in the situation I'm in. Graduated in 2013 btw. I feel if I move I can have a fresh start.


P.S. I know it takes hard work, but I've been working hard all my life for this moment of getting a chance. Then, I was told about lies about how it's the same everywhere, and how I didn't take the required courses out of state. Because I first wanted to go to L.A. when I was a Junior in HS and I told my guidance counselor that. She basically told me lies about how I didn't take a foreign language,and then other people told me lies. To sum it up when I did my research it was already too late. I could have went West Coast because they had cert like programs too. Now, after I'm done i'm still contemplating on whether to choose Seattle or L.A. for the better entry opportunity

Being angry isn't going to change your situation. Take the action you need to - which it sounds like you are. Then just keep going toward your goal. There is always going to be a roadblock to anything worth having. You aren't giving up, so that's testament to you.

You can completely recover from whatever set back you are blaming your guidance counselor for. (PS, don't do that. Makes you look like a bytch. You are just frustrated and pointing the blame isn't doing you any favors. You're not dead, you are young with plenty of time to set your direction... and change your mind plenty of times, too, if you want to.)

Just do what you need to do. You got this. Enjoyment will come. Everything is temporary, unless you make your bad attitude permanent.

PM me for help with IT certifications. I have helped so many of my coli brethren and I'm proud of it.
The thing with IT is if you don't enjoy it, you will hate working in this industry because it keeps changing every year.

Do you have a hobby?

The school I was at did a lot of fukked up shyt to me though. Even a professional told me they did a disservice to me. Sometimes, I feel if you aren't a favorite or their sports player, then the odds are against you. However, yes I'm still taking the steps to move my life ahead. I get headaches and feel angry everyday I wake up, but I just want to pass ALL my test that I have in my two classes and my A+ Cert test. So, I can move out of this hellhole that I'm in.

I like Jogging as a hobby and working out. Also, I love computers and etc, but hate the situation I'm in. Basically, I've been taking classes that I didn't even need for two years. Now, I'm where I'm need to be, but feel burnt out. However, I know I need to pass it, so I can move forward.

find an old computer take it apart and put it back together.
Once you get a job, don't ever get comfortable always try to move up.

For now though I will say you are judging yourself too much. You have a degree.
That's a huge plus.
Do you have a job though?

Searched for 15 jobs and got the reply we can't hire you because we have the positions filled. However, I met with a college career lady yesterday, and she said she will help me with the resume. Basically, this weekend I plan to study and look over my resume papers.

I worked for free when I got into this business for about some months
Look on craigslist for internships or PC jobs wich pay basic hourly rate.

Once you can manage to put together 1 year work experience..you are on your way.

Man, you've been working hard your whole life but you're not even 30 :snoop:

Stop trying to feel sorry for yourself and get up and go get something. Being in your emotions doesn't help your situation. If you need time to reflect and chill out, then do that, but don't sit here whining and playing the victim, you're too old for that man.

You have a point, also I'm not giving up I just needed to vent. Being in a toxic situation for, so long makes me feel uneasy.
