What's been the lowest point of your life?

[Canttakemuchmoreofthis1]

I feel like I'm in it now, and it shows. The sparkle has gone from my eyes, I have dark circles and my skin looks dull.
I just want to stay in bed all the time.
I'm on antidepressants. I should be grateful as I have a loving family and I like my job, but yeah, I'm definitely at the lowest I've felt in a long time.
What was your lowest point and how did you come back from it, did things start to improve?

im so sorry. I feel I have todo this. lot. can I ask you what made you feel like that?

Suicide of my child 17 months ago. I'm amazed how i got through the first days.

My Gosh the strength you have all showed is amazing. I’m in awe at each and every one of you, and so sorry for what you’ve been through.
I’ve had some terrible times but nothing quite as bad as the posts here. My worst was probably finding out my husband was having an affair when I had three very young children and had just moved to an area where I knew no one but my parents. My parents couldn’t have given a fuck. Neither of them even came over to see me or express any sympathy.

The second is one of my children developing mental health problems. He spent ten years as an adult in his room . Couldn’t work, had no friends, was suicidal. When eventually he dragged himself out of that situation by sheer will, for which I give him so much credit, he decided as a result of counselling that I was the cause of all his problems. He’s cut off the entire family. I am absolutely heartbroken and don’t know how to live with it. It’s like my heart’s been ripped out.

My sister dying of cancer aged 59. Ten years ago this year and still miss her terribly.

My husband being diagnosed out of the blue with terminal cancer at 45. The following couple of years were the absolute worst of my life. I don’t actually know how I kept going.

The day exdh broke my arm, not knowing it was broken I managed to grab DD and drive to my Mum's. Also the day when my df had fatal heart attack and died but I couldn't save him I tried and tried cpr but to no avail. I then had to phone my Mum at work and tell her

Sorry for late reply, I’ve only just seen notification. I think it was trying to do and be everything to everyone. I was recovering from Covid, and just trying to carry on, taking extra shifts etc when my body was screaming at me to stop. I had an incident at work that I would normally cope with but it just pushed me over the edge. I would describe it as a breakdown looking back now.
