I am white and feel the same way. However, there should be MORE to life than finding a man.
There is FlowerPower...a lot. There are many places that would soooo very much appreciate a helping hand. Food banks/kitchens...animal shelters...drivers for cancer patients to and from appointments....assisting the elderly...etc..Helping these people would make you feel very appreciated and respected, your life would definitely mean something.

Yes, but you aren't understanding the mix of depression in people on this board. If it were someone with a long illness of a purely physical nature you would think more about that person being sick and not up to doing certain things before suggesting they go volunteer. I can see the above speech to those with a mild case of the blues or the self absorbed types. Its very, very different than just a case of the blues. Its good to try and help others when ya can, I have done it for many years. But still I have the daily fight of severe depression and anxiety, as I'm sure others also have here.
How many people without medical and physical problems go far out of their way to help others in this country. And do it without an agenda attached. Most are too concerned about themselves or have some excuse. Your speech is more fitting to the materialistic, Fakebook, Tweeting public than those on a depression board.
When you are young it is better to walk in pairs. It is important that she have a man. It's part of life and of living a full life- There will be lots of opportunities to be alone when you are old...in the meantime being with someone makes life fuller and better. Don't listen to those who say having a man is not important. If I was young and someone suggested that not having a woman in my life was just fine...,I would scoff at them. Make an effort but don't be desperate. My oldest daughter is single and the only advice I give her is _ Don't expect anything from a man you see...firstly simply enjoy their company...be friends ....the rest will come on it's own if it is meant to be.
Does anyone know a site that sells antidepressants online?
There is no such thing as a happy pill. There are side effects with this chemical compounds - especially in young users. Do you really want a chemical in your system that changes your brain chemistry...and has a warning that states...May cause you to have the idea of committing suicide? Avoid these things..all drugs have side effects...Get out under a blue sky and say hello to a few people as you take a long leisurely stroll.
Seek professional counseling NOW! Do not pass go, do not post another thread or comment!
Find a woman, African American psychologist or psychiatrist IMMEDIATELY!
Seriously!
This not an attack, it is not a put down.
From time to time we all need help, this is not the place to seek it.
Exactly. Strangers on an Internet forum are no substitute for a professional counselor. Ask your physician to recommend someone. OP, you mentioned that you can't afford a therapist. There are therapists out there who pro rate their fees to accommodate those who have lower incomes. Check your local listings for help. Or call a crisis hotline for help.
I don't know where you live, OP, but in many parts of the U.S. there are Samaritan Counseling Centers which offer therapy to patients at a pro-rated fee according to patients' ability to pay. Do a Google search for your area to see if there's a Samaritan Counseling Center near you. About 10 years ago a dear friend of mine who was near the end of her rope got help at a Samaritan center, and it completely turned her life around. I truly believe she would not still be with us if it wasn't for the help she received there. She had very little money to pay for counseling, yet she received excellent care from a top-notch psychologist.
Please listen to the people on this thread and others who have suggested you seek professional counseling as soon as possible.
Best of luck to you.

Hating yourself because of your skin color and contemplating suicide is certainly not going to attract any man. I've never met any man who is attracted to a woman who hates herself and is suicidal. Please seek professional help.
Somehow in your upbringing, you weren't made to believe that you are a beautiful, magnificent woman worthy of only the best that this life has to offer. Some of the most beautiful and sought-after women I know are dark-skinned.
Don't give up on yourself. Light a candle, don't curse the darkness.
