have many of you have really been down and out,but made a comeback?

Answer 1

I am down and out right now, but going to college in hopes of making a comeback.

Answer 2

I think that depends on what you mean by down & out. If you mean destitute with no money, No place to stay, I don't qualify. Although I've been a pay check away. If you mean totally hopeless & on the verge of suicide because life's circumstances were so overwhelming that I couldn't cope with them any more well That was me about 5 years ago. I lost my job because I was so depressed I couldn't even get out of the bed. I wouldn't even get up to eat or wash up , didn't answer the phone or the door. I couldn't even stand myself. But somehow, one day I mustered up the strength to call a friend to come & get me to take me to an ER & from there I was admitted to a state mental hospital. It wasn't a fun place to be because of the environment & the mixed population but I knew that I had to look past all that if I was going to get better & with the help of the Drs, Nurses, Counsellors & medication, I am now doing much better. I know I never want to get that low again, so I will continue to take my meds, keep my appts & call my freinds when I need to talk.

Answer 3

yes I have but I got up and got going again. I never gave up. I only
concentrated on doing better and staying that way,
it takes the will to survive, the want and the good feeling when you do
succeed and get back up.
