Just 1 year or more so 1 month - I can't believe it! Is it bad luck or what?

Dear Blackwomenconnect, Hello everyone and thank you to those who read this.

The past year and past month have been filled with tragedies and setbacks.
I'm not a needy person but I am human.
Again, I'm a 30 year old single, no kids, independent, attractive black female with standards. Ive been called different, unique, artsy, deep for a long time and when things are going well I appreciate that but things hit the lowest points. I had a stable job history the whole 2000's up until I decided to leave a job in 2008. I miss the good job that I had for years. When I left, I took a job at an at will company and after just a few months I was dismissed. My doctor wouldn't re-write the note to their satisfaction and it just became so overwhelming but I hung in there went to work everyday knowing they were trying to get rid of me and they did!!
This hasn't even been a month yet its still been 3 weeks!

None of my so called friends and associates are calling or their for me except maybe someone with a not so positive for me motive. My family knows everything but they aren't being there in a way where I need them to for example to get away, enjoy life, etc.


I have reached out on all of those networking sites and had a few writers send support. Others Ignore my messages of the book or just reaching out for comraderie.


I recently went to a yoga class doing all I can again to improve and uplift me and just because I asked this yoga instructor about how did she feel I did in the session, she said "black women lack confidence in their bodies and how they feel people are viewing them and so it gets in the way of their movements", she made it clear she didnt want to work with me anymore. I had trouble focusing due to all on my plate and was very anxious. But I dont understand how someone could be so impatient with someone on a first try? What kind of holistic healing black female is this?????

And I have been exercising doing all I can to stay sane but the loneliness is killing me. I FEAR reaching out LIKE I BEEN DOING because of the negative responses. Or those who want to take advantage, for example sitting downstairs in my building one night on my laptop as he was we were having a deep conversation after basic chat, I keep my guard up. He kept asking questions and I told him I was bi-attractional but never had any real positive experiences with women and he kept trying to get me to sleep with him and I just talking to him because I cannot stand men coming off s*xual to me especially who arent my type! I dont carry myself easily or wear revealing clothes but I just cant stand when they do that.

Yes I have issues but I am a quality woman who is trying to work out the recent things to happen.


Please Blackwomenconnect give your advice, I would and will do the same for you.

I Need to relocate and just ask suggestions and things like that because obviously if things have gone this sour in this state its time to go or something lol. i'm putting a laugh to the pain but its not funny.

Please give all opinions and advice.

I know this is alot but I would do the same for you.

Sincerely,

Thanks for posting this. It sounds like you are really going through it.

When we are facing some of life's challenges, that's when we find out who our true friends are. This can be a very painful process, but it's better to know because those who aren't really there for us will LEAVE our lives!

I think you need my book, What The Don't Want Us to Know. Don't buy it until you are ready. In the meantime, check out some of my articles, they are free.

When it seems like life is throwing all this rubbish at us, and it's so unfair, often we get bogged down in negative thoughts and emotions. It is totally understandable, but we can turn things around. This starts by turning around our mental attitudes. One of the books that has helped me with this the most is Money and the Law of Attraction. (It's not just about money.)

Things WILL get better. I salute your courage.

Awwww Aries. I can tell you I am an accountant with kids and I won't go into all the things I've went through. I can tell you this when all seems lost there is a friend above any friend who will listen at anytime. People are fickle and I would not look to lean on them all the time. I will pray for you but I suggest you have a conversation with God. Don't pray because sometimes that can be a one way street. You need to commune with God. Take a weekend. Read your word, get in the spirit, and allow God to help you. He won't take you off your path but He will counsel you in what you should do to better accomplish your tasks. He won't make it easy (He can't not after giving people free will) but He will help you bear the load. Girl give it all to Him and then watch Him work. I can't tell you how often things just work out for me because God placed the right people in my life. I have learned that if I want low self esteem, low confidence and a somber feeling all I have to do is give my plans to another person and let them help me out. But if I want things to go right, have the right contacts, connections etc I talk to God ask Him to bring them my way and wait. It has never taken a long time for Him to respond to me.

Keep your head up. If nothing else things will eventually work out. Just stay clean, keep your focus and do you.

I want to first say, LOVE YOU! It is harder than it sounds. I have a husband and children and I promise, they let me know what I need is never important as what they want! I am still working on putting me first and standing strong for me. You are under estimating yourself. Since you are doing this the devil is winning. Stop right now... If you do nothing else get on your knees and just think and feel and let it all pour out! Cry if you need to.. Moan if you have too. And when your done get up make a list and begin with most important task to least important task. Take YOUR power back.., if God be for you, who cares who is against you. I have a question? Why do you care about the people you mentioned opinions of you? Answer that and begin your journey back to loving you! You are in my prayers! Hold on to God and everything else will fall into place.
