I have 2 options:
Figure out how to die in the next month
OR
Tell everyone I screwed up my dream career because I posted a unprofessional comment on a facebook page while stressed and resentful, in which case I will lose all respect from everyone, never truely enjoy life and somehow pay back school loans. We all make mistakes, I just dont know how to fix mine.
Any suggestions?

This career was your only reason for living? What could be so bad that you can never apply for the job again? Maybe you should calm down and explore other options?
what exactly happened? how did that post ruined your career ?
Everyone is looking forward to me becoming a massage therapist. We have to do a practical exam which I studied hard for and then failed while others in my class studied a day and passed. Anyways I was stressed out one day and made a resentful comment on a page for massage therapists. I hadnt known at the time but apparently if a MT believes you preform a conduct “unbecoming a massage therapist” the comittee gets together to decide whether you should become one or not. I am normally a kind hearted person, just made a mistake.
Why don’t you explain to them that it was a mistake, and that you were experiencing a significant amount of stress. Apologize and maybe they will understand. It’s better than not doing anything. If they decide you can’t become one does that mean you’re barred from the profession for life? That seems unrealistic, but i don’t know anything about that.
Either way i don’t think you should end your life because of this. Surely there’s another career you could persue, perhaps one related to therapy.
It is labled as professional misconduct. I am afraid that they will say that if I handled that situation like that then what about when I am in a similar situation or worse in the future, how will I handle it then. All other career choices dont interest me or take alot more schooling to get to.
Sorry to sound all depressing, I feel like shit because I worked so hard to get were I am with the respect I have.
But i mean can’t you take the test again? Or try in a different city or with a different orginization. I don’t know how that stuff works, but it seems strange that this one comment could prevent you from EVER becoming a massage therapist anywhere in the world.
Don’t worry about sounding depressing, we’re all depressed lol. I’m sure you have other reasons, but from your post alone it seems like you’re contemplating suicide because of the stress of losing your dream job. In which case i think you should definitely stick around, and try to either find another way to become a MT or look into another job. Sorry if that’s insulting.
Not insulting, but also not helping unfortunately.
To call yourself a massage therapist you must be registered with the big guys. And they are pretty dead set on professionalism. I would try another place but they check if I have good standing or not.
I hate being a dissapointment, either way its going to happen though.
The mistake I made was a month ago, ive wanted to die ever since. I also dont seem to care that my 22nd birthday is tomorrow. This is not good.
But did they decide on that already? like you not becoming a MT.
Even if you cant have your dream job, im sure there is got to be something else, true the time on university/school it would take, thats a letdown but it might be worth the time later on, but idunno.
I dont think you should commit suicide because of this, reconsider it carefully, and dont think too much ahead, 1 thing at time, it becomes easier like this.
