Just gonna quit this job and go back on the grind, back to security temporarily and see what else comes up. i don't really know, anything will take time. Need to get away from these people around me and get folks that can help but people with something don't fukk with people with nothing, I got people that embarrass themselves cuz they do shyt they don't qualify for.

also sickle cell is a oxygen and blood disorder you're not gonna be swole with that. I'm 6 feet 190 but I'm 24 percent body fat.

Yeah I got to lose the bf.

I will stop drinking.

my bad, i hadn't read the whole thread. didn't know you had sicklecell. my advice still applies though.the reason i said to lift weights isn't to get swole or good looking. my intent was more for the health benefits as well as just getting to the habit of being disciplined and taking care of your body and health. and just taking pride into that. even if you don't lift, finding some sort of physical activity and remaining physically active is a good idea. spending that energy once in a while will help with those feelings of depression.

there was some poster in The Gym section who had sickle cell too and he still lifted. maybe you can get some info/advice from him if you're interested in working out but concerned with your health. definitely consult with a doctor as well if you're not sure.

Would you kill yourself?

I'm 41, no kids, low paying job, for profit school education..

Would you kill yourself?

I'm on academic deferment so I have to pay out of pocket.

So Seriously would you just kill yourself?

I see lot of brehs have problems, I have the worst, I'm just no happy and I'm greying up fast due to unhappiness.

So why bother

I need hope, something to look forward too, even at my age, I think I need a mentor or a plan. I'm in a tough bind, depressed like hell.
Breh, most people dont get rich until they are well in their 50's, 60's and 70's. Focus on keeping you debt to income ratio as low as possible, try and improve your credit score as much as possible by getting a secured credit card, and fixing whats on your report by either making settlement offers, or a agreed upon pay plan. Get it in writing, then just keep pushin. Your just at the halfway point breh, can still wind up in your 60's/70's caked up.

No matter what's going on for you, there are people who still give a shyt about you.

You killing yourself is going to hurt others, whether you know (or care) about that or not.

And the fact that you're thinking of this just now probably means you're at a particularly low point...which almost certainly means that things will get better. The vast majority of people who attempt suicide and fail never end up finishing the job, because they only tried at one low moment and their life went uphill after that.

Find someone willing to listen to your problems. That's usually the main thing that puts shyt into perspective, and helps you start working them out for yourself.

Get up and grind man. Take advantage of the opportunity. Start walking thru the doors that are available and open rather than the ones you have now. You never know the journey may bring you where u want to be or where you belong anyway.

Plans are great, but the fact you stated deferment and trust I've been there and am just getting out of it, no plan will help you execute. You don't need a detailed pla.n or motivational speaker life coach. Just execute. And eliminate anything that will keep you from executing.

Bad friendships, toss em. Relationship issues, toss em. Need money, get a small job to get some bread. Need s social life? Don't ever be caught inside. Just be out and about. You'd be surprised at the ppl you will meet doing random things while out.

Bro, it sounds to me like American society is fukking you up. What I would advice you to do is to ground yourself. Stop competing and comparing yourself with others. At your age and in your situation you're not set up for big dreams, realize that you will never be a millionaire, you will never have the baddest girls, and it's ok, that type of life style is not for everyone, that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy your life. Get you a decent job and try to live healthier and in a smarter way

My brother have a speech impediment and he's over 350 pounds. He makes over 250K because he owns his own truck and trailer. Don't let anything limit you if you want to make a decent living.


You need to help your brother lose weight breh. Heart problems kill black men at an outrageous rate

You were born perfect. The sensual faculties can't convey your true essence, cus they only allow you to experience .01 percent of reality. Keep your light shining and don't let this world put it out. We need you here to just be.
