I’m 30 years old, female. Ever since I was a child, I had a hard life (I prefer to not get into details about that). I never envisioned a real future for myself. While most kids thought about what they wanted to study in college or what they wanted to be when they grow up, there were only 2 things that I envisioned for myself: 1) jumping off high rise buildings to end the suffering, and 2) finding the love of my life to rescue me from this misery and live happily ever after. Well, I’m single now, went through 3 serious/heartbreaking relationships where the men just didn’t want me after all, and now I’m working 10-12 hours a day to support myself financially since my parents can’t help me. I’m too tired to even “try” to enjoy life or find love again. At this rate, I’ll be single and lonely forver, as I’m not getting any younger here. I still envision jumping off buildings, or even buying a gun. Really, I have no reason to live. I’m just waiting for (god forbid) my parents to pass away first, before I make official plans to do it.

As anothe rposter said here some of us may be programmed from the beginning seeking death.
Although one of your goals was to find someone to love.
Maybe waiting on your parents will allow life to bring you some impetus to keep going.
Not trying to be hypocritical but still have enough compassion left to hope for the best for others.
Not true, lots of people get married later in life. You could try dating sites where you will find people looking for a serious relationship/marriage. I don’t even have enough money to pay for the subscription fee as I’m in a serious debt situation but that’s what I would have done. You are a modern independent women and don’t let anything hold you back.
I hope things get better for you. Either things turn around and you find that guy who will “rescue” you or you will find peace by dying. I was in the same exact situation as you (same age, etc. etc). Try a dating site and see what happens.
