Am 38 years old and I have been suffering depression on and off for a many years. It all started in my early 20's when I graduated from college and couldn't find employment. I applied severally and sent out countless resumes but nothing came of it. I am from Africa and it can be quite challenging finding a decent job inspite of the fact that I have a good degree.
Four years of unemployment went on before I decided to move to Dubai in the middl-east. In those four years of unemployment some days I didn't get out of bed, didn't eat sometimes...I just felt awful.If not for my mum I would be homeless too.In Dubai I worked a couple of crappy jobs with long working hours and very little pay. It was like modern day slavery.
This went on for like 8 years and I had to come back home because I couldn't handle it any more. Back home I found another crappy job, it was a cleaning job that was paying next to nothing, I couldn't even afford to move out of home. This is still going on and am struggling to get a good job despite having a business admin degree. I feel so sad and useless.
Another source of depression in my life is being in the closet. We live in Africa and it is hard to tell your family you are gay. I have had to keep my relationships secret and to hide my true feelings for many years. Now they are wondering when am going to get married. I have no idea how to tell my mum about it.
Sometimes I wanna move so far away from here but I have no money to do that. I want to meet the man of my dreams and be happy. But my life is like at a stand still. Days of sorrow and sadness abound in my life right now. Hopefully, I will figure out a way out of this.
That is my basic story, I wanted to keep it short. I would have added more details but it could be a long boring read.
