Rock bottom, yes. Ending up in an abuse shelter after separation from my best friend of 9 years. Somethings snapped in him after we got married and he wouldn’t admit that he may have a mental illness, so he became violent. It broke my heart to leave, and I suffered from debilitating depression for about a year before my church family showed me so much love and provision that I started making my way up out of that deep dark hole. Jesus Christ was my hope during that time, and continues to carry me through dark times.

Yeah, there was a point in my life where i felt like I am just existing, and not living. I go to work, do my job then back home. That has been my routine for a year. I felt like nothing meaningful was happening to me and that brought me to tears. What I did, I busied myself with other things. I studied Cisco and bought myself a ukelele. I started a different career and a new hobby. I lessened my social media time but instead, I made sure to go out with my siblings and friends whenever i have time.

Growing up thier was no one around me that enjoyed my presence. I lived In a place where certain people were considered better then others. My dad was abusive he would beat us if we were not perfect. And even when we did do perfect he want more. "you made a 100,good now make 110". Any other results would result in a beating. 100 dollars went missing, that's 1 for each quarter in a 100$ 4x100=400. At school not being American and acting differently then people. My brothers would bully me for not being similar to them and the people at school would always try to force me to do things for them because "why can't you be like your brothers". My mind broke from dealing with everything alone. Everyday as a child I spent. In my mind asking myself, "what I did to deserve this". Break - > rebuild, break - > rebuild for years of solitude and criticism. All I could feel was how my existence was a waste of space. Alone hiding underneath my bed. I thier was no excape from reality. However at 16 I meet my only friend who became the most important person because of how strong she was. Although she was crippled by a cancer that wouldn't allow her to move around easy dude to her bones becoming fragile. She gifted me with the best gift I could have ever be given. However, I it did not last as her condition got worse and she had to move states. Later I New she died and from then I could not forgive myself for allowing someone I love to die. I could care less about me being 16 at the time. This is emotional I do not want to feel. And so I'm able to be who I am now. Age 21 director for a company. By the age of 30 I will break fate or destiny to make sure I reach my goals.

Rock bottom looks like one too many shots and having a panic attack on the kitchen floor. I found that the only way out is by clawing your way out, but once you get started it gets easier. In my case I struggle with depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. I had some counseling to help (an ex us army sapper with a pitch black sense of humor is good support) did alot of self work, and asked myself what I really want. I can tell it's working because the last relationship I attempted I walked away from because she was generally emotionally abusive and overly aggressive towards me and would make an excuse of her BPD. If I was the same me that fell into rock bottom I would have stayed because I have a hard time letting go of any source of affection that comes my way. It's not easy, and no one else can do it for you, but it gets better. Just be a victor not a victim and you can make it.

Oh yes, back in 2017. I was stuck living with a transphobic relative that constantly made transphobic remarks at me without showing any remorse whatsoever which led me to falling into depression and anxiety. Thankfully it got better by 2019.

Yeah.. im in one right now. Me and my friends started an agrobusiness to help the farmers in our area. We were aiming (and still is) to increase their income. We believe the farmers deserve better payout for their hardwork. But our business got scammed and it led to us being in debt right now. I haven't got out of my bottom rock yet, and i am still struggling. This is lowkey a call for help. But you know, i have faith that God is helping me, wish me luck and pray for me, good people! And for anyone who are in rock bottom right now, no matter what you are going through, you are not alone! It must be horrible, and sometimes it feels like its never ending, but hang on! Life continues, and it might get better. Stay strong.

Last 2012, I got fired and lost my job while my younger brother was struggling with cancer. I got really depressed coz I felt so hopeless but thankfully I received help from my few friends and family members financially and emotionally. Thank God I'm still here living life happily.

The bloody end of narcissistic abuse from growing up in a narcissistic family system. Felt like my face being dragged across concrete for twenty years. No contact was the escape. 17 years in Asia. Was absolutely necessary. Back like a rocket ship now (edited)

Maybe hitting a rock bottom for me is when you are in that dark room. When all your emotions is consuming you there is no way for you to get back. You cannot even understand what you are you feeling. Trying to lift yourself up as much as you can 'coz you believe there is more to life than all sorrows you are creating yourself. But come back strong and thanking God that you remain safe and your sanity is already back in it's peaceful and quite place.

Many times lol I grew up with abusive family and emotionally stunted environment. After all they've said and done, hell is just a sauna. You can't break the broken.

Just let people closest to your heart stay with you. They'll be the reason you will continue to stand up even if you are at the peak of the mountain of your problem

Rock bottom feels like everything you tried to make work ended up just making you feel like you were making a wrong decision after all the good times had come and gone.

I suppose so, but (un)fortunately I'm somewhat emotionally desensitized - I don't feel too many highs or lows. I won't get into the details of it all, but I'm doing great now that I have a career that I love. 😎👍
