I'm glad to hear that you're feeling happier.

To update, I advise you to always send an up to date photo of yourself with your application (I always do this). I believe in letting potential employers know my skin colour as soon as possible to avoid problems further down the line. I'm looking for a position myself at the moment, and often suspect that no reply to some of my detailed, thorough applications could be due to me being black, but of course, there could be other reasons.

In any case don't dwell on it, apply to many jobs, be positive, and present yourself as well as you can. In my experience something good always comes up.

All the best, Niketa.
