Aibu to ask what have been the lowest points and highest points of your life so far?

[TwinkleWings]

Title says it all really!

Highest was giving birth to my DS and lowest was when my first husband got another woman pregnant while we were married.

Highest, my fantastically funny and amazing DS
Lowest, my mam dying at the age of 40 when I was 15

Highest was having DS.
Lowest was losing my dad as a teenager.

Highest point is now, right where I am.

Lowest I wouldn't divulge here.

Lowest - being fired from what I believed was my dream job

Highest - becoming a mum

Thanks for the replies!

My highest had been the first year of being a mother, me and DS against the world!

Lowest - debilitating mental heAlth issues

Lowest - when I was first diagnosed with bipolar after a BAD year of increasing problems
Highest - the year after my DD2 was born. It was all just lovely and she was the sweetest baby in all the land.

Lowest was the suicide of my boyfriend.

Highest is a tie between marrying my husband and the birth of child no 1. I got a bit blasé about giving birth after that but the results are always good.

Easy. Highest points were the births of my two DDs, especially as we had fertility problems and thought we'd never have children.

The lowest point was the death of my father two years ago.

Highest - the birth of my DC. And driving through open roads aged 23 in the glorious sunshine, having left an abusive relationship. Feeling the breeze blow through my hair, having landed my dream job and moved into my first home, thinking 'I'm finally FREE and about to start living!'

Lowest - developing psychosis and having a horrific manic episode, during which time I damaged the relationships with everybody around me. Still ashamed and embarrassed and face life long concequences.

Lowest- being dumped by my best friend, for a second time and being angry/ upset at myself for having let her back in, AS WELL as feeling as lonely and hurt as I did first time around.

Highest- my life is great right now, and has been for a while, but about a year after having my youngest daughter, all the dc came into our bed in the morning and as we all lay there chatting/ gurgling / snuggling I felt an overwhelming sense of fulfilment. That moment when I realised how content, how right my family was/ is, how surrounded by love I am.

Highest-my grandad in my childhood
Giving birth
Watching them grow up
Going to college and against all
the odds I graduated
Meeting my fella
My stepdaughter moving in with us after leaving her abusive mother

Lowest-losing my grandad
Being raped,not being believed when it went to trial and no support
Being sexually assaulted at work-and nothing happened
Losing my dad who was only ever on loan thanks to my narc mother
Being homeless

Are you a journo @TwinkleWings ???

Or a student doing a project?

I would not reveal the kind of personal info on here that some posters are doing...

Lowest - inpatient detox for alcoholism in my early 30's.

Highest - finishing graduate school,
having a happy, healthy marriage,
great career
Two great kids, one in uni, one going next year
celebrating 25 years of sobriety

Lowest was when exdh told me he was seeing another woman, we had been married for 16 years and had fertility issues. He had refused to consider adoption as he didn't want to raise another man's child. The woman he left me for had two children and apparently made him laugh.

Best was less than 2 years later when I gave birth to DD with my lovely dh by my side

Highest are a tie between being pregnant with and giving birth to my DD (especially since we had a few fertility issues), and finding out l was pregnant with DC2.

Lowest was losing that second pregnancy.

Highest - having DS
Lowest - about 6 months after DS and becoming a single parent, becoming suicidal and having to hold down a full time job.
It got better. A fuck tonne better.

Lowest- the disastrous birth of DD, she was deprived of oxygen for 5 minutes, had to be resucitated. The next few days were touch and go. I thought we'd lost her.

Highest- watching DD thrive ever since. So thankful.

Lowest - feeling like my marriage was falling apart in the first couple of years of my daughter's life.

Highest - too difficult to pin down! Wedding day; first time my daughter told me she loves me; being offered a new job... there are others, but they generally revolve around family time now.

@alittlerayofsunshine Do you really think anyone is identifiable by their comments on here?

@alittlerayofsunshine neither. A human being, interested in other human beings and fascinated by the highs and lows of life (and all that is in between to be fair!)

Why on earth wouldn't you reveal things on an anonymous forum?!

Lowest: giving birth to my stillborn son

Highest: becoming a mum a year later to healthy DD (and subsequent DC!)

Mine are linked. Lowest is having HG my while pregnancy. 9 months felt like 9 years and it was physically and mentally draining. Highest is being his mum. Bloody love it.

Highs:
Degree
Certain full-time, long term posts in certain schools
Wedding

Lows:
Deep depression after 2nd dc
Sinking into debt
Long term, full-time teaching post in one particular school that made me question and all but give up my career
Death of a range of relatives

Why on earth wouldn’t I reveal things in an anonymous forum?

Because they’re identifying.
Because they might well end up in the Daily Mail.
