I found myself in a laundromat charging my laptop to 50% so that I could sell it to the pawn shop. I needed that money to fuel my drug habit.
damn
I hope you're in a better place right now... I believe in you!
❤
I really hope you were able to overcome your addiction, good luck, you can do anything. ❤
Thank you for sharing that. I hope you are doing well
Buying a 2 dollar muffin from the store for 3 days straight with dimes and quarters I found on the sidewalk. (The only money I had) and the lady at the register offered me all the change in the spare change holster (a couple pennys and a dime)
That embarrassment, helplessness, and churning hunger I will never forget.
I really needed this comment today. That comment brought me to tears. Idk why it just made me think about how sometimes I’m ungrateful for the stuff I have. Here I am being bratty while you’re just fighting to survive for food. I’m so sorry you went through that! I’ll keep this in my mind. Thank you
Feel like "Have you hit rock bottom?" And "What's your rock bottom?" are two very different questions
To the first one I would answer no because I've known people whom have gone much lower than I ever have, but to the second one I have my answer on the top of my head
It's not a competition though your rock bottom is yours not someone else
@@mysmirandam.6618 I think the comment was mainly referring to the different ways the two interviewers questioned the participants, since one question invites more interpretation than the other.
It’s possible the respondents were asked both questions, since the video only contains excerpts of the interviews.
I assumed they asked "Have you hit rock bottom?" before asking the second question
As the one woman mentions, we hit it multiple times in our lives. It's also not a contest of who has it worse.
I hit mine when out found my husband had fallen for someone while I was deployed. When I got back, he left me.
So sorry to read that. I hope you're doing great now.
Are you sure it wasn't the other way around?
seriously ? F*ck Him ! You deserve real love. And you will have it !
@@nevaehlittle4296 I think he meant this should be the other way around : "When I got back, *I left him"*
And not "...he left me."
@@nickthelick oh thanks i understand that but tbh it makes sense either way. Like when she got back she found out he left her
I'm going through a bad point in my life now, and to be honest this video brought me to tears... I hate that as beings we can go through life with suffering and pain. I appreciate those who opened up and shared their story. This kind of helped me feel like I'm not alone
I agree with you 🙏🏼
Just focus on the good. Please
Feel better sweetie
🤍
🙏 stay strong!😊
Its pretty mind-blowing how much of a range in severity people’s rock bottoms were. Really interesting.
“My dog died”
@@AlexPerazaTV and what? Stop comparing. Seriously.
@@tanie3543 and what? a dog dying is not rock bottom. very sad? yes. but not "rock bottom". some of these people had actual extremely traumtic and horrific events happen to them.
if losing a pet is the worst you've EVER had, you have lived an extremely privelged life.
it's like if someone said the worst day of their life is when their dad didn't let them drive the mercedes, yes I am going to compare and think they are way out of touch.
@@AlexPerazaTV how are you so close to the point but missing it? Obviously she's privileged, hence her rock bottom is completely different to everyone else's, duh.
Like i had 5 relatives die during covid but I'm not gonna tell someone who lost their dad that they're more 'privileged' for losing only one person. Also comparing losing a pet (a family member basically) to a machine is a fcking joke btw.
Just because you saw someone with a broken leg, it doesn't mean that you can't cry about your broken finger.
the question to her was to tell share her rock bottom, and she did. What do you want her to do?
Try bring a little less pathetic and you might understand.
@@AlexPerazaTV well that was her rock bottom. you can visibly see how upset she was even mentioning it. people dont need to be criticized solely for having things easier than others.
Watching this I don't think I have ever hit rock bottom... My heart goes with them
Samee
not yet...
@@HNANDRA never will 💋
mine is right now
@@theguppyshrimpx5777 please stay strong ♥️
Wow this truly just shows not only are you not the only person dealing with tough issues but you truly do not know what other people are dealing with 🙏🏽🥺
My rock bottom was losing multiple family members back to back. One of them being my sibling, who suffered from covid complications, had two strokes, pneumonia, kidney failure, dialysis, a blood transfusion, and ultimately lost his life. In the middle of making his arrangements my mom was diagnosed with a terminal illness that required two surgeries and daily treatment for a month. I quit my dream job that I worked so hard for to become her caretaker. On a positive note despite everything I was able to graduate with my degree in healthcare.
My heart goes out to you. Im so sorry you had to go through that. But i will say congratulations on the graduation! That must’ve taken a lot of effort
@@joemps Thank you so much! ❤️ It took a lot out of me mentally and physically... but I knew my brother wouldn't want me to give up. I know the past few years have been hard for everyone so hopefully if someone else reads my story they can be encouraged to keep going despites their challenges too
You are a wonderful person, just know that. I am sorry to hear what happened to you, but I wish you the best.
That is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that.
i'm so so sorry for your losses. my sisters and i were caretakers for our aunt who passed of cancer in 2020 and over these last couple of years, our family has had a number of other losses including my grandmother. these are very hard times and though the pain never goes away, i'm glad that we are still here. wishing you so much warmth...
Going 93 miles an hour out a windshield and fighting for my life for months, not remembering I had kids, it all happening on my daughter’s 10 birthday…breaking everything that could be broken and learning to walk and talk all over again.
I am glad that you’re still here , Angel 💚
@@auraoptics 🙏 thank you!
I was in an abusive relationship for a couple years, one night it got really bad and the cops were called and I defended him and was sent to jail. Then when I got out he blackmailed me with pictures he had of me and because of Covid the case wasn’t done for another year. When it was finally over I was so relieved and I haven’t talked to him since.
how r u doing now?
I'm so sorry that happened to you
@@bethanyslaptop a lot better now thank you. Took a lot of time and I still have some ptsd but I am miles away from where I used to be mentally.
I have hit it twice! My senior year of high school: my grandma passed away September 6th, my cousin was murdered Oct 6th and on top of that I was raped right before Christmas. The 2nd segment of hitting rock bottom was after my ex fiancé told me he cheated on me, 3 days prior to me leaving for a week long vacation to see my family. He told me I had to decide on moving back home (we moved to the west coast from the Midwest together) or I had to pack up all of my stuff and find somewhere else to live because he was moving back. I definitely was not going to ride with him across the country, so I went through 7.5 years worth of stuff, put it all in storage, and found a place to live. Meanwhile, working and on top of all that I started a softball team (a month prior) at work and had a game the night before I left. Not to mention, he left me with no money, he told me in the months prior to the breakup that he could not afford rent and so I covered it. And what still blows my mind until this day, that he asked for me to pay the remainder of the bills a few days after him telling me he cheated 🥴The next 3 years was a blur. I drank myself to sleep, went on so many dates that I cannot even remember 3/4 of them so I could eat, while trying to find someone to love me, which was a big mistake. You have to love yourself 1st. On top of all that I got fired from my job 3 days after my birthday and I was just getting off of my feet at that time. In the end it was a blessing, my next job I ended up making double and it has lead me to where I work today, which is a prestigious university. Where I am hopefully going to be transferring to the research department next month. I have come a long way since these 2 incidences. I am stronger than I ever thought I could be. I can probably write a book on what I have experienced. It’s sad really. I cannot even imagine being one of these people who haven’t hit rock bottom. Like never a break up that left your heart broken or lost a job?!
I am so sorry that all of that has happened to you. I hope you are doing better and know you are loved ❤.
I hope you find healing within yourself and around you. You deserve a beautiful life.
im so sorry that you went through that. no one deserves to be treated that way. thanks for sharing such an intimate part of yourself with us 🤍
Dawg u are a super hero
Wow you are SO strong! You should be proud of yourself, so many people would have given up and end up on the streets. I have so much respect for you..
The person talking about being roofied and assaulted. When they said he left something behind, it got me. It happens to too many of us. And it’s so hard to come back from. Me too friend, me too.
i think this the first time i’ve heard someone have the same, similar problem. hurts my heart but i’m not alone yk,
I didnt understand what she meant by that. Does she mean a desease?
I recently watched a video and it helped me understand that each interpretation of rock bottom was that it was the base on which you built. The sturdiest part of a beautiful flowing river is the rock bottom, through the mud and sludge present there is always rock and it took time to be built upon but once it got to a point it gained a new purpose to support the life and flow above it.
What video?
Thank you for sharing this, would love to watch the video 🥺
'Show up for yourself'
Damn thats good.
I’m interested to see a keep it 100 video where the people are asked if they are suffering chronic pain, and if so, what and where. I think that would be interesting
Freshman and Senior years of high school. By graduation, I didn’t think life could ever be worth living again. Now I know that’s not true.
Life only begins I’d think
The only good thing about hitting rock bottom is knowing that the only direction from there, is up!
Unless you discover its basement, of course.
@@lovelydolltime8006it actually tells you clearly that it is even minus basement
"I was brainwashed by my abuser to think about the world in a different way" that resonates with me so much wow
5 am, haven’t slept yet and googling rock bottom videos… I hate myself, don’t know what to do with my life, got no job, no money, getting support from my mom which was never happened before after i was 21 (now 32)
I don’t have income for more than half and a year, lost my job bcz of the current situation in my country, moved to another country for 8 months for studies , didn’t have money to stay there
I mean I have had bad periods when i had no food to eat, when I got diagnosed with ocd and anixity disorder, when my mom kicked me out from the house and it is feeling like my whole life was rock bottoming :)) but now it is dif bcz I am older and now understanding I will not reach much in my life and in the best scenario I will just survive … well not sure it worth living but I am trying
I hope you are doing better now, you are amazing and you got this!
Videos like this make you realize even the most confident, good looking folks have insecurities.... strangely comforting.
There’s been a few rough patches here and there in childhood but nothing sent me spiraling like 2020… brother committed suicide, friend overdosed on cocaine, older cousin overdosed on fentanyl, younger cousin was shot and murdered on his door step… all on top of the world’s chaos during lockdown. I considered myself someone who was fairly comfortable around death but when you lose so many young people at once, it really tests your spirit… I think I might’ve ended up dead too if I didn’t have people fighting for me
That year also showed me how resilient the human spirit is. My family pulled together and kept moving forward… I might still break down in tears from time to time but as we all know the world keeps spinning. And believe it or not in this moment, but there’s always something worth living for.
I've hit rock bottom multiple times and it sucks. I'm hoping anyone out there who's feeling low will find some sunshine in their future.
I hope you’ve found some sunshine in your life as well. ☀️
@@brittdei thank you, right now I'm doing fairly well but it's a constant effort for sure
Multiple times is normal. It's exhausting.
@@DA-js7xz I didn't know it could happen more than once until it happened the second time. It was a surprise to me to reach new lows
I'm still working on it but i have anxiety about the future because I don't know what to do and I am thinking I will disappoint my parents
Same. My mom tells us all the time that she's disappointed in me and my brother not doing more with our lives. Even though we have full time jobs and help them pay rent and bills and take care of my mom since she hasn't been able to work in almost 2 decades because she got cancer.
@@mayrose9387 sounds like she's projecti g her feelings of herself on to you. Do your best and do it well.
So relatable, i keep thinkin' where I'm i gonna turn up in next 5-10 years from now, i have dreams i would like to achieve but i like I'm not capable won't be able to accomplish it.
I hit rock bottom in my early twenties due to anxiety and depression. If I had once piece of advice for people at rock bottom, I would just say things always change. Things will get better
Currently 21 and have been dealing with anxiety and depression since I was 8, it never feels like it will get better.
thank you I really needed to hear this
“There would be no cloud-nine days without rock-bottom moments.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich
I would say my rock bottom hit when I basically completely failed at high school and had to do my GED. I made some bad decisions that led to me essentially being kicked out of high school. I remember I became very depressed and angry with myself at the time. This was also around the time I received my bipolar diagnosis although I had been diagnosed with autism at age 3. The up side is that I decided to use it as motivation to finish my GED and go on to earn a college degree afterwards. I now have just graduated with my bachelor's. I was probably about 18 when this all happened.
that's amazing. proud of you!!!!!
I'm proud of you, this is a huge accomplishment!
Just saw you comment on that 18-year-old college grad video
Same. Currently 19 years old, dropped out of middle school for mental health reasons
Steuggled wirh anxiety and depression throughout all my teenage years, lived isolated without any friends or social opportunities.
Now i have nothing. And here in germany its not as practical as getting a GED,because you have to get several diplomas before going to university. The exams for that are taken only once a year so this will take several years.....
Its so over
everybody’s rock bottom is different. sometimes it can be due to a person dying, trauma issues, health issues, addiction, finances, family, friends, etc. sometimes it can be due to combination of things. your pain is valid, and it’s not a competition. you don’t need to come back at life sprinting. you might hit rock bottom again. you might make 10 steps forward and then 2 steps back. take it one day at a time, and the days when you don’t have faith or hope in yourself just take it one breath at a time. best of luck to all of those struggling and who have struggled.
My rock bottom was when I flipped my car last November and broke my neck in 4 places 3 weeks before my college graduation. I'm very grateful and blessed to still walk/talk but it left me very pitiful state. I stayed home and was completely dependent for months. I was stuck in the brace for 6 months. When I finally was freed, 2-3 weeks later I had to put my cat down to rest. He was my best friend and emotionally supported me since I was 5. Ever since then, I've been gaining weight (30-40lbs), drinking, smoking everyday, and living with anxiety. I'm still just trying to push through it. A lot can change in the course of 13 months. I'm thankful I have my father and my second cat though, they pretty much have been the support to help me with everything.
💛
I’m at my rock bottom right now. Little things like this help
it will get better, one day a time, one small improvement, one nice interaction, one action of self-care
Me too. But hey,we got this. We can get better, everyday we can get better.
i love how vulnerable these people can be. it’s still something i’m working on
My rock bottom has definitely been getting taken away from my mom. It was a really traumatic experience for the few months beforehand and all her the previous mental breaks she had. My mom has severe bipolar and schizophrenia. It was hard for all of us to go through that. I stayed in shelters and couch hopped. I was always scared to go home. I'm glad I was taken. Even though it's been hard and I have gotten kicked out a few times I have finally found a good home with my brother and I'm starting to feel happy again. I love my mom but she is still not recovering. I hope someday she can be at a place where I want to talk to her again.
My prayers for you and her
the girl talking about how her assaulter left her with something breaks my heart. genuinely sad for her :(
I'm sorry, I'm confused about that one. Was she referring to semen? Or an STD? I honestly can't even imagine the fear and pain of that happening :(
@@zherful semen I believe
@@zherful I think she meant an STD, yes. Possibly something that wont ever go away :(
@@zherful Maybe a baby. 🤷♀🥺 Whatever it was, I pray she is ok. There's so much pain in her eyes.
Mine was when I was homeless in San Diego for a year, sleeping on the street near the library and nobody (not even my parents) came to save me. That was a really hard realization but it helped me save myself.
Hit rock bottom 2 years ago... still hanging out... feels bad
I was obese, started going to the gym and got in the best shape of my life , started getting more looks from girls, I was more athletic and started doing well in sports, my family finally started to accept me, I had gained more friends. Then I dislocated my shoulder. It kept happening. I couldn’t play sports or go to the gym, all of my “friends” left me, the girls left me, outside of my siblings and parents, I haven’t talked to any family for months. I had gained seemingly everything I had ever wanted and then I lost it all. I had lost my motivation to do anything, I’d stopped eating, my grades had started dropping, I found myself doing things that I never thought I would. I took a look at myself and decided I needed to change. So I started going to physical therapy and my shoulder is a lot better. Now I just keep to myself, Ive started going to the gym again, and now I’m working on getting my drivers license
I am very proud of you, and this is inspiring as i'm trying to workout and get my drivers license too
hope everythings gets better but a reminder in case you need it:your physicial appearance doesn't determine your value. If people go because of it they are not the right ones👁️
you should be proud of yourself! that’s amazing, keep pushing :)
I don’t think I’ve ever hit an ultimate rock bottom thankfully. But I will say this video made me feel not so alone. (Prepare for TMI lmao) but I’ve had the worst year of my life honestly… I lost my uncle in March, had to put my cat down in August, 23 days later I lose my other uncle, and then just 19 days after that I lose my brother in law. All them lost to an illness and out of nowhere. Among that, the ridiculous medical bills from cat and damages to my car from a pothole that the state is still refusing to pay for, and then the sprinkle on top I discovered I have reproductive issues. So what else can I say? I broke down and quit my job and isolated myself.
I’m coming out of it finally. Mostly because I understand that although this was an spirit crushing year for me, I’m still healthy and I have a lot more than most people do so I’m grateful. So to those who are dealing with much bigger problems, my heart goes out to you. Stay strong.
i'm so so sorry about all of that. rest in peace to your loved ones and sending so much warmth and prayers to you.
I’m currently experiencing 25 years of rock bottom… and I’m only 25 lol
i don't think i have reached it yet. I lost my dad when i was 13 after 3 years of cancer, lost 2 grandparents, lost my job 3 times, couldn't pay my rent, was in a relationship for 5 years where i got cheated on and got hit. And still i don't think i hit rock bottom so far. Life can be hard but no matter where i'm at, i know there will be light at the end of the tunnel. But yeah, im sure i will reach rock bottom once in my life & i truly hope that i will have good people around me when it happens
hit mine not long ago. had just gotten out of an abusive relationship and soon after found out that my younger sister has a chronic illness that is incurable. somehow in that same week my parents also found out i am queer and kicked me out of the house with just my phone and a backpack. i wasn’t allowed to see my sister before she sadly took her own life due to intolerable pain. rock bottom is a really awful fking place to be. i wouldn’t wish it on anybody ever. stay safe y’all ♥️
i'm so so sorry for your loss... sending many hugs and warmth.
That’s genuinely awful. I’m so sorry that happened to you. Wishing you nothing but positive vibes for the future.
What.. ? Wow. Your parents... no words
Great video! Ive been near death by 2 times, each time spent a month and half in the hospital and im still here. Im a bit sick for the past week as well but I know I will overcome once again. This made me enjoy more life and I know I will enjoy my amazing life till the day I die. Wish you all that are reading my comment the best life you deserve ❤
I wish you many more days to enjoy, hopefully as painless as possible
Many more days to enjoy! I hope as painless as possible too! Live life how you want!!
The day my husband left the apartment we shared...I collapsed to the floor in sadness and felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. I filed for divorce a short time later. It's been a journey and I'm stronger for it and I know I'll never allow myself to feel that low again.
I was abused by my partners, I was committed to the mental hospital my baby son died I was sa- ed I spiraled on alcohol then my other son was stabbed. he lived. I am here because of him and my daughter I'm in therapy and on meds. Better but never forget
Sending love to you
Oh my God, glad things are better. 💜
I’m so sorry. Truly
@@camillastacey4674 thank you so much 💓
@1in1000000 thank you for commenting ❤️
`show up for yourself` kinda hit me hard because i never did
I find myself in the deepest hole I’ve ever been in my life right now… my girlfriend broke up with me 2 months ago and it’s been the most horrible and sad time I’ve been through. I’d do anything to show her how much I truly love her and how much I care about her. I just wasn’t sure what I wanted in life, I couldn’t answer what I wanted 10 years in the future, but I wanted her with me to figure it out. Hope anyone that’s sad and in a dark spot in their life is able to come out of it, there is light out there somewhere.
I'm in a very similar position as you currently ... It gets better, I promise. 💕
I've been there, still am to some extent. It really does get better with time as long as you invest in yourself. Go on an adventure, develop a skill, spend time with your friends, and journal about it all to help remind yourself of your own worth during the lowest points. Hang in there.
Move forward in life. Everything eventually gets better.
Every time I hit rock bottom I tell myself this shall pass… getting old is good this way. I’m very grateful with what I have now but I have to work on myself to not get them as granted so I don’t attach to them.
Diagnosed with depression in 2015, given Venlafaxine on a 370mg dose. I felt like I woke up in 2022 when I forcefully reduced my own dose to 75mg. I lost 8 years of my life. I only remember a couple things from that entire period. I was a zombie, I had no emotion, no energy, could not hold down a job. Pretty much slept the entirety of those 8 years.
And I believe I'm not the only one to be mistreated by the Irish Mental health system. If I could sue, I would.
Wow I completely understand and feel your pain.
I was drugged from age 4-17 with adhd pills, anti depressants, antibiotics, BCP, and more. I'm 24 and I'm still figuring out who I really am and who the true me is.
Stopping the pills felt like a huge weight was taken off my shoulders.
This same doctor also SA me when I was a child.
I'm left with chronic illness from all the pills that were forced upon me. Antidepressants are poison and anyone who disagrees should look up the ingredients and what they really do to your serotonin.
My ex partner was abusive and sexually assaulted me multiple times during our relationship. After the break up, he destroyed a lot of my friendships and mentors relationships to isolate me. I became so depressed and had ptsd and everything in my life fell apart
My rock bottom was when my dad passed away. My best friend and first death I had encountered. Quit my job two months after he passed and didn’t work for 8 months. Had a huge depression and insomnia and stayed in my apartment. In the midst of all that I applied for a job at the psych unit (which I still don’t remember doing and this is 10 years ago now) and now I’m doing what I love!
I think I am in my rock bottom. Haven't gotten up my bed for 5 days in a row. Haven't eating much lately either. Just ate a bread and chocolate milk but I don't
If I can keep it down. I don't know what is going on in my life. I'm just done.
I hear you and hope things look up for you soon.
hey, thanks for sharing your experience with honesty. Finding peace of mind seems almost impossible when you're lost. At those times I like to self explore through music (this song caught my attention recently ua-cam.com/video/iLc1zthhd0k/v-deo.html), also looking back at what i enjoyed as a kid, try to make room for it in my current life. Sending you strengh somehow
I'm here if you need someone to talk to ❤️

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Though I didn't replied in the moment but these kind gestures helped me a lot. Thanks for being kind.
16 years old. Was in constant pain from an undiagnosed chronic illness and got sexually assaulted by my first boyfriend. Couldn’t even feel safe going back home as my dad, a religious leader, was also emotionally, physically, and sexually abusing me. Missed my period a month or so after the assault and because my parents tracked my location at all times, was going ask my only friend if she’d buy me a pregnancy test- before I could even ask she told me she was done being friends with me because I was “too sad to deal with”. Went to the church for help- got told to ask god for forgiveness for “losing my virginity”. So damn isolating.
My most recent rock bottom was 3 years ago. I quit speaking to my mother. (It was best for me, she was god awful)
I was on probation at 15/16 years old at the same time. I lost all my “friends” because of it. None of them wanted to hang out anymore because I stopped using drugs and drinking.
I stopped eating. I barely slept. I never cleaned anything.
I cried myself to sleep, I shit you not, for 5 months straight. Every. Single. Night.
I just wanted to die.
Now, three years later, I’m states away getting to experience a life like I never dreamed of.
Show up for yourself. Stick by your own side. You got this
i agree that someone can go through multiple rock bottoms. existence is so complex and life throws so many difficult things at you sometimes...my first rock bottom was when i attempted to take my life at 17. after years of getting better i thought i would never get to such a dark place again. now, almost 4 years later and i think i've hit rock bottom for a second time after a breakup from someone who i thought was my soulmate. knowing i managed to climb out of this place when i was 17 is what keeps me going these days. if i did it before i can surely do it again. to anyone reading this who's in a similar situation, hang in there! you'll be okay. :)
"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind, always."

"Show up for yourself" that's hits differently when you have not done that. You, yourself are the biggest cheerleader 😍👌🏿
I reached my rock bottom last September. I had gotten covid in june and still hadn't recovered but kept pushing myself to keep doing my job. I had a work conference out of the country and when i got back i had a appointment with a docter to talk about the recovery from covid. He told me that i had to realise i was still very much sick and needed time to recover and that keep pushing would only make things worse. Right now i am still recovering. There is progress but it is very very slow. Covid can do very strange things to your brain.
July 15 2019 was when i started on my way to rock bottom. My dad had a heart attack and didn't make it. He was everything to me he was the pedestal that held me up so high and when he passed i just came crashing down so hard.
I can relate . I am glad that you’re still here 🙏🏽💫
I'm so sorry :(
so so sorry for your loss.
I agree the pandemic was my rock bottom and so was being rejected by some guy.
My rock bottom was when I first injected crystal meth. I still haven’t come back from that bottom and it scares me to this day that it can take a hold of you so quick. If you haven’t done it before please never do… there really is no way back
I hit rock bottom when I quit school, was using meth, and doing fraud with a bunch of my childhood friends. On one fateful night when i was coming down from the awful high, i asked my self "Do i really wanna do this and live this kind of life forever?". I knew i was supposed to be doing something a lot better than that. That was the last day i used meth and did and trying to leave that life behind had to involve me cutting ties with all of my childhood friends deliberately and it is one of the saddest things i''ve ever gone through in my life. I have spent half of my life with them and starting from scratch had to be one of the toughest things i have ever done but it had to be done for me to get out of that cycle. I'm in a better place now (more than 1 year sober from meth, started a new professional career and got my first job) but i still feel lost sometimes without my friends cause we as a group did basically everything together and i'm still on the path of finding out who i really am without them and it's been hard finding new friends (i've basically been deliberately isolating myself socially) that get me the way they did but it gets easier every day. I have hope that things will get better with time and i will find myself and grow my confidence back and be really fully happy again. Just thought to share this. To anyone who is having a hard time or who is at rock bottom rn, i'll really just advise you to keep on staying positive.The road to recovery is not a liner one, it's full to high highs and very low lows. Just keep at it, you'll come out at the other side sooner than later.
when i was 15, i overdosed on my dad's prescription fentanyl and was hospitalized in a psych ward. it wasn't the first time, but rather the fourth time i had been institutionalized. but i think the severity of this attempt made me realize that i didn't really want to die, i just didn't like my life as it currently was. i'm now 20 and in my sophomore year of college, majoring in psychology to hopefully help people that are going through what i went through. i still have my very low moments but for the most part i'm able to keep myself above water.
For those struggling with self esteem and self harm, When you hit rock bottom remember the 5 year old you, innocent and standing alone looking up to your future self in hopes of you reaching out to them, in hopes of helping that inner child still in your heart. Only you can do it. And the same way it takes nothing to offer an act of kindness to others, you should show an act of kindness to yourself that same way. Show up for yourself, it's the least but truest thing you can do in life.
When I was 18 I took off on a police officer, crashed my car I got from a family member that passed away, damaged a vehicle, ran and got caught later that night. I had ran through a back yard and hid under a tarp that was covering fire wood. I herd a ton of sirens and cops running around looking for me. I covered my ears and layed their for literally hours till I came out. Within that time period laying their I knew I had just made the dumbest decision of my life. I tried to get to a friends house but I didn’t even make it out that neighborhood, cops were still patrolling the area. Definitely a rock bottom for me, Spent a few months in jail and I’m actually getting off probation next week after five years.
can you hire me to just be on set and give people hugs after? (if they need it) i just wanna give them all hugs after this :,(
Once you hit rock bottom, the only way to go from there, is up.
My rock bottom was at 10 years old. If I hadn't had supportive parrents who helped me and tried their best, the bullying in school stopped and got a psychiatric diagnosis. I don't know if I would have been here now at age 23 if I grew up in a different family and stuff. Being depressed at age 10 and having undiagnosed autism until that age is hard for a child. Being helped then made me actually get through that rough patch and made other hard times mentally easier as a teenager as I knew how to work through them
hope youre doing okay now
relate to those COVID rock bottoms…didn’t realize how much I needed structure lost so much motivation but life is only getting better now! Working on being able to function in adulthood
Rock bottom for so many people is just… I’m sorry for their experiences. So many people have it so much worse, it’s difficult to not be mad at people who just don’t understand deeper pains. I’m also happy they lead blessed lives… so confusing
Everyone’s pain is valid, it’s not a competition
@@imkebester2681 exactly

My rock bottom was my very first boyfriend of 11 years splitting up with me, the day we moved into our dream house together. That was February this year, and since then 2 guys have asked me out, one of which turned out to have a fiancé, and the other who promised me the world and then had ghosted me. My faith in men is at an all time low! We had to sell our dream house straight away, and I booked the first flight out of here and went on a holiday to Portugal by myself. When I was away I found out he took a girl back to the house and slept with her, heart broken!
I hit mine last year in 2021. I almost got sent to hospital/ mental hospital multiple times by my own family. still not entirely out of the woods yet though, but still getting on track.
to other ppl suffering mental health, please reach out to someone and get help. don't let it take over you until it becomes too late and you start to suffer. it feels embarrassing and awkward but future you will appreciate it. I know that I never used to believe what people said but I really wish I did.
2014: Found out my fiance was cheating on me, stuck on a lease with him, he became super abusive, 2 weeks in and I had to help my dad because he was violently attacked by my brother and almost died, had to clean up a bloody house, come back and get abused by my ex, eventually woke up to him molesting me so I became homeless/couch hopped, got an eviction for a place I didn't live in anymore because it was unsafe, had to move in with my mom who until then I wasn't speaking to, car broke down so I had to leave that job, started drinking heavily, manic episode came in and put me in a lot of dangerous situations. Good stuff.
@@cylol4 The short answer is he attacked him with a bat and a pair of closed scissors. Broke his arm, lots of cuts on his face/head and punctures in his shoulder/neck area. Thankfully my brother was out of it (mental health crisis/brain injury/drugs) so nothing was super deep. Nothing went through his skull and didn't hit his jugular (was very close though). It could have been a lot worse. My dad refuses to talk about it really so I don't know much else as to what happened. Mental health cases aren't public
There's always another bottom beneath the rock bottom we hit. I never believed that was true until 3 years ago.
Thnx for this video. Seriously. I'm struggling with substance abuse and trying to overcome it currently. It's great to know I'm not alone! Anyways I hope this New Year brings joy, prosperity and blessings to everyone ♥️
I hope you’re hanging in there and doing ok 💕
The week before lockdown when I lost my job then my bf left me. I was struggling with severe depression, codependency and addiction. Having to move home at the same time was so stressful my jobless ass didn’t leave my bed for 3 months. But looking back I’m so glad it happened bc there was only up from there and I now love my life 😂🎉
Definitely struggled with very similar issues and at the same time over lockdown. Wasn’t easy 😢
I'm sure its not only me that feels this way but when you hear the things others have gone through you kind of feel like what you're going through is nothing compared to that and that you shouldn't be feeling the way you do
Whatever you're feeling is valid, because it might be the worst thing you've ever gone through. It is sometimes helpful, though, to have perspective on the fact that you're not the only one going through shit. Use it as a way to build empathy, not invalidate yourself ❤️
All my tops call me the rock bottom
😂💀
If I could smush each of you into my bosoms and hug you OPRAH-tight, I would. So often, many of us focus on what we DONT have and we need to focus on & celebrate what/ who we DO have in our lives. It's not about quantity, it's definitely about quality. Extend yourself grace. Cut toxicity out of your life. Forgive, but don't forget, because it's about setting healthy boundaries. Do something generous/ fun/ uplifting for yourself EACH month of 2023. Let me know if you need a road dawg or just tell me all about it.
My rock bottom was moving out at 18, prostituting my roommate left and the girl I let moved in started making meth in my apartment, with her dad, when i was gone. I met a guy off Meetme and Knew he would be my husband. 10 years later I'm a photographer part-time and stay-at-home mom. I married that man and we now own a house on 16 acres
Keep it 100 has to be one of my favorite videos that you guys do. Please continue to do more
My whole life has been at rock bottom. Wondering if I’ll ever be at least baseline
I’m only 22 and already i can’t tell whether my rock bottom was depression (12-now), having cancer(16) or an eating disorder(22). Can’t wait to see what the rest of my life is gonna be like🤡
hoping that everything turns around for you and you never have to face a rock bottom again. i'm so sorry you've been going through all that
@@StuckInTheMiddlewithYou Thank you, i really appreciate it :)
I didn't know so many people visit the lake in bikini bottom
Ummm actually 👆🤓 the lake is goo lagoon and rock bottom is a nearby town
These videos make me feel like I’m not alone
Have you heard of the #ConsciousPlanet movement before? Also #Innerengineering ♡
Me bring addicted to meth for 23 years but iam 7 years clean/ sober now
Ur doing great!
I would say my rock bottom is now at 19. I've been sick with OCD since I was 17, and it's been really bad.
Thank you for asking people for advice at the end. It means a lot coming from someone who's been there, rather than someone observing or trying to think of what's "good advice."
yeah! i would like a how did you get out of you rock bottom? video
Today. Welcoming New Year while Russia bombed my capital with drones and rockets. Not knowing if they will reach my home. How can this world be that dark?
2:01 that’s the woman from the woman discuss feminism problems video with pearl, Eli heirlick, Sydney Watson (I don’t really remember their other names)
When I realized that I could no longer work. I had been chronically ill for 9 months and I just couldn't keep up anymore. My balance got much worse while I was sick (I have cerebral palsy) and I started falling and breaking bones both on and off the job. 2 months after I had to stop working my wife left me after 21 years. The worst was when I realized that my balance was so impaired that I couldn't be an Emergency Medical Technician any more after 34 years, and I couldn't work as a community social worker anymore either after a 27 year career.
Damn man, sorry all that happened to you. I hope your ex wife didn't get a dime.
@@ME-cd3bs Thanks! The ex is getting a whopping $28.90 a month from my state retirement. All the crap she put me through for that...go figure.
I thought having to stop working was my rock bottom, but today I had to surrender my wonderful service dog, Smokey because I'm to the point that I can't take care of him anymore. It's as though I've lost both legs; he was trained to help me keep my balance. More than 4 years working together has come to this, plus I'm waiting to find out if I have cancer as well.😭
100% in my rock bottom right now because I have the worst Ocd, and I’m finding out I have bpd. While being pregnant and already having a 4 year old. I feel so hopeless 😔 Thanks mom and dad who put me in this position.
“Bad things happen all the time and if you pay attention to that, you’ll never get better” FACTSSS
My rock bottom was when I was in the ambulance after overdosing on my Xanax and antidepressants
I was in my early 20s in an abusive relationship. I would drink to numb the pain. I did not care if the drink killed me or not. I didn’t want to feel anything. Then he r**** me. I felt so gross. He thought love and consent were one in the same. A few months later I mustered the courage to leave him and get therapy. Lots and lots of therapy.
I remember drinking myself to sleep every night for years in a row 😢
Sometimes I think it’s mandatory to do something to numb the pain for an amount of time - because who could live in those conditions in their right mind? I used to think if i let myself feel the pain, the pain would end me. It didn’t. Stopping drinking cleared my mind so I could remember that I had control and empowered me to do something about it! Letting myself feel the deepness of my heartbreak is what saved me from my addiction because I was forced to feel the depth of that pain in my marriage and change it immediately in order for my survival.
And then, just like you - LOTS of therapy and unlearning everything I “knew” 😔
Oh dear.. so 😞
me watching this feeling like im currently at rock bottom 💀
When my mom and dad threatened to take me into a hospital and put me a feeding tube 'cause i was just bones and mentally gone.
Recovery is so mf hard.
I’ve hit rock bottom a few times. What comes to mind is when my brother died back in 2010. He was 18yrs old and I was 17. He got hit by a car while walking…
And then the second one that pops in my head is when I got my first heartbreak in 2015. I completely lost myself, I was broken completely. It really helped me discover who I was though after that.
I guess everything happens for a reason.
and the moral is theyre all in a better spot now
I'm at my rock bottom. But for some reason. I'm paralyzed with fear. Making me unable to move forward.
Woah, thank you for this video today.
Abusive relationships with change your life (for better or worse)
