What has been the lowest point of your life?

[Mooooove]

Could be anything - money, job, relationships

I'm feeling low about the way my life has gone since the coronavirus. Job will be over end of September and i'm worried about money and competition to find another job with the recession.

My mum passing away jointly with relapsing with leukaemia. Horrible, awful times.

No you haven't got it wrong🤣

@ParkheadParadise I'm sorry. What a horrifying thing to have to go through.

My lowest point was when my dad died of cancer when I was 9. He'd been ill for a long time and it was a very aggressive brain tumour. We at least got to see him for one last time before he died - my brother was supposed to start primary school that week and I was supposed to start Year 5, but we got a call saying he didn't have long left. When we got home, Mum got a call from my auntie and she called us into her bedroom and told us that Dad was dead, and I tried to run out of the room but she grabbed my arm and the three of us just sat on the floor and cried. It was nearly 30 years ago and I still miss him.

@ParkheadParadise HH I'm so sorry for what happened. I've no words, other than love and prayers. Xx

For me it was being told I was infertile & accepting it then accidentally getting pregnant to my absolute shock! Boyfriend at the time was really abusive and forced me to get rid of it. Now I've been trying for a baby for two years and having no luck whatsoever. I am with the man of my dreams so I'm in a much better situation, but I'll never be able to forgive myself

For me it is being raped when I was 18 and my 2 miscarriages. Childbirth was also very traumatic given past events. The loss of control was very triggering.

I lost my health, my independence, my driving licence, my marriage, my home and my job in one year. The marriage had been abusive, which became worse when I became ill.

I was pretty broken, and living like a shell of a zombie. I recognise those days lying in bed with the curtains shut. I had zero respect for myself, and engaged in some risky behaviour. Meeting up with strangers from the Internet, and wanting to please them and pleasure them for some reason.

I was extremely lucky nothing awful happened to me, and also extremely lucky to have the love and support of my family.

I managed to heal and grow as a person with their support. I got my driving licence, my job and my home back. I made things better than before. I appreciate the things I have, and try my best to give my best to my dc. I have an amazing bf who loves me, supports me, is kind, caring and understanding. I'm in a much better place now.

Not having a home between ages of 12 and 16. I hated living with various people (not in care- just friends or family who had floor space for me).
Somehow I still managed to do well at school, as school was such a comfort away from a weird home life.

looking back I really cannot understand how my mum just let this go on and on for so long . I also needed to be with my mum, but we had to take space where it was available and it was rarely together.

Still I did well at school, went to university but am always paranoid about the stability of home life for my kids.

I've been thinking about whether or not to put anything here. I've got no one in real life to talk to, so I just want to put it out of my head into the universe. Maybe it'll float away. It's not been easy from the start, but the last 16 years have been unrelenting hell, I've lost everything, I've lost me, and I'm forced to live a life that I hate in every way. I don't see it stopping anytime soon.

LoveMySituation.. Sorry you feel so alone. As much as we are at times vipers here - when required we can be supportive and a hug or a hand hold...

Thank you Beach. It's good to have a connection, even if it's on here

I posted upthread something hideous and got lots of support.. It meant a lot to see those flowers and for posters to feel empathy for me.
I have no one but dh and it feels bad sharing awful stuff and burdoning him with it. Nice to be anonymous here. And not judged.

I've been judged a few times on here, I'm more wary now
