what is the lowest point in your life when you felt hopeless?

Answer 1

After a few years of sobriety. I fell into a depression state that lead me to a suicide attempt. I took a fatal dose of Barbiturates and narcotics. I was angry to find I was still here the following day. Thank God it did not work...the blessings since have been awesome and I would have missed out on sooo much!!

Answer 2

In a fairly long life, I've had a lot of hopeless lows; probably one a year, at least, since I was about age 15. But I think the worst one was when I was 20 and alone in San Francisco, a notoriously cold town in more ways than one. It was Novemeber and I'd run out of money and out of luck finding a job. I'd been there a month, and I felt really trapped. I guess I really had a hang-dog look on my face as I walked up the street toward my roach-infested room in a Grant Street hotel returning from my last fruitless day looking for work.

As I usually did most days, I stopped in a used book store where I'd gotten acquainted with the proprietor, an elderly man who had been born in the same state as my parents. I didn't say a word, and he didn't, but as I browsed half-heartedly among the stacks of old and rare books on heavy tables and on the floor, I saw him open the cash drawer. He walked up to me and handed me $5.00. It was Friday and this would get me through the weekend. "Pay me back when you can," he said. My spirits were lifted only a little, I could eat three meals on that $5 at a hash house where the cook and waitress team kept me supplied with extra bread, but it wasn't a job and rent was due in a week.

As fortune would have it, and it usually does when I'm really low, something comes along to change things. The employment agency was on the communal phone for me early Monday morning, and they sent me to a work site where I literally begged for the job and got it. I've found with a little faith--not much--there can be a silver lining. I repaid the book shop owner and even started to buy books from him as I could afford them.

When I realized the man I love doesn't love me. I felt like ending it all but if I did that my kids would suffer. But then again, they wouldn't have to worry about dealing with me anymore..... I don't know I may still be in it. I just hope I find something to keep me going. I hate this time of year.
