My company's not doing too good right now and everything seems to be falling apart. It seems like if not the lowest point in my life a good contender for it. But what has been your lowest point in life? What happened and what did you do get out of it? How are you now and has that still affect your life to this day? Please share your stories and maybe if someone is in a similar position as you once were in, it might give them some hope. Thanks.

We all have our major ups and downs in our lives.. speaking of the downs i think i had mine too, when many things did not work it was like a stand still, everything was falling apart, finances, family life, people around riduculed me, every effort was making slow progress, But today when i look back perhaps from your question, i see me in the past for the first time, ......i might have been down then but i think i had my vision up, even though i was at the bottom of the sea, i knew i will be swiming up to take a fresh breath of oxygen soon and hence did not stop flipping my fins! Believe me these are the acid test of our lives, just keep asking yourself how can i change this situation, what is it that i am not doing that is not working, believe me every problem comes with a pack of wisdom, and a pack of solutions to your problem just dig into your own resources and you will come up with your answers. Break the problem into pieces and work on it, If there are too many problems deal with each based on priorities. What is it that you will like to deal with.
YOu have posted this question here, it was surely your own resource to find out what others have to say...well done keep it up! Asking for help is a sign of strength, many people dont ask for help because they feel asking for help is a sign of weekness...if a person is drowning and is shy to ask for help he will die, only the one who shouts help survives..so talk to people whom you think has some knowledge, Self education is a great problem solving technique, if something is not working then something is not done the right way, find out what that right way can be. Talk to people who will encourge you, avoid people who give you negative thoughts. When things are not good around self blame is high, avoid this. It is a point of realization that you want to make changes so your wheel starts moving.
And most of all believe in yourself, only you know what you want and what is best for you, Your expression in life is who and what you are! If i have the capacity to change my whole life believe me you also has the same capacity to get what you want, because we are all one..sharing the same energy of this existance.
Take all my luck ..i dont need it.

Well, a few years ago I was convinced that I was the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I was eventually admitted into a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. I later went into deep depression when I realized that I probably wouldn't be able to change the world and would live a meaningless life like everyone else. Even though I no longer dwell in those depths of despair, I still wish I could be an important figure instead of an "average person."

Being alone, working a horrible, horrible job, being a virgin at age 26, no friends, no girlfriends. Nothing to console me but beer and internet chat.
Everything passes. It never stays the same. Getting out of bed was the hardest part, somehow I kept on doing that. It's 8 years later and life is 180 degrees different.

My lowest point was when i saw my stepdad being murdered. He was beaten to death in our living room when i was 14. He was just like a father to me, and he always helped me with my problems like with school, girls, money etc. i literally couldnt speak for several days and it really scarred me. i actually dont know how i got over it, i still see pictures of it now, but they dont seem to faze me anymore. i just told myself he would be a lot happier if i didnt upset myself over him. I still think about him, especially when ive got a problem, but i just remember him for what a great guy he was. It hasnt really affected how i grew up, quite a lots happened in my life so im pretty resilient but i just live my life like any other 17 year old now, i dont let it bother me. And i did get over it - you can get over anything if you try.

hmmm. a couple of years ago, i was going through a really excellent depression for a couple of months, drinking and other self-destructive things. i think it centered around the loss of my grandparents (grandma in 99 and grandpa in 03, which was a year prior to this). they were closer to me than my actual parents. so...i was all depressed. but my depression didn't really compare to my aunt's, apparently, cuz in september of that year (04) she decided to burn her house down with herself inside it. then my boss at work didn't believe me when i told him why i had to miss work. that was the kicker there. actually...i think that tragedy maybe was the end of the low point. it kind of shocked me back into functionality.
