The "You've hit rock bottom thread"

I think it's understood that rock bottom isn't the lowest point in someone's life necessarily, but more that it's the lowest one has experienced? Maybe that's just a semantics argument.

 

Like z_killemall already mentioned, you can hit rock bottom again and again and again.

On the other hand there is no limit for the highs you experience either :thumbsup:

 

For me personally the pit has no bottom and you can always fall lower.

In mathematics however, you have your LOCAL minimums.... And that's what I'm talking about. Local minimums, not just the minimum of the function in the continuum of our life.....


Wow.... I didn't know I had that in me...

 

You're on your way up, GIRLL!!!


Man, I just had some calc flashbacks. No Santa, no! (one of my instructors looked like Santa on vacation).


I had a really really good time last night. Hit the sauce, lightly. Saw some people I wanted to see, it wasn't awkward and I didn't start to feel sick, which sometimes happens when my mind wanders and I jump to conclusions about stuff and get even more stressed and blah blah blah. Actually talked to the people I wanted to.
Then I go home, had just put clean sheets on my bed, so it was mega comfortable and got some amazing sleep with some amazing dreams all night. I was like WHAT DID I DO RIGHT TO DESERVE THIS? AWESOME!

 

For me it would be losing my job and ending up on the streets. I've actually dilberately set up my life so that won't happen, I have no debt beyond car payment and two measly bills (no credit cards, loans, etc.) I live on the cheap so I can save a few hundred bucks a month, so I have about 2 months rent and expenses covered if it came to it (although I could always just live with my mom or friends or something if need be.)

Actually during this whole recession thing I'm more worried about other people in my family and how they're doing, like my brother has a family to support, my mom takes care of my grandmother, etc. For me I can work at a resturant or something if I have to, I don't need much.

Thankfully it doesn't look like I'm gonna lose my job anytime soon (just got a raise actually,) but you never know. These gigantic international megaconglomerates like the one I work for are known for 86ing whole departments to give some exec an extra million dollar bonus, so who knows.

 

I think i've hit rock bottom today. Doing a uni course I'm really not interested in, living in a town I hate in a country that's gone to hell. All of my friends are untrustworthy self centered back stabbers and the only 'relationship' I have is with someone who to be honest doesn't give a fuck and can't wait to leave the country.

 

That is sad to hear...
But, welcome to my world for the past 4 years...

Although I have some trustworthy friends, lice TCHOIN for example. My ex boyfriends are all douchebags. All of them left me for no good reason but their own selfishness and unwillingness to commit themselves to a relationship.

I lost my father this year, which was the worse thing ever to happen to myself. I also lost one very dear friend who has feelings for me, but decided to cut me off his life completely because I "interfere" in his relationship with his girlfriend (who btw, he met AT MY HOUSE)....
I've been lied to, deceived and spat on the face.

I've been disrespected by a chinese woman with a BA in economics because according to her I don't know anything about marketing (I'm doing MY MASTERS ON MARKETING ::: BITCH!) and that cost me my job.

I have to provide for my family (which now consists only of my mom and me). My mom is making less than 700 dollars a month on her two jobs, and now I am unemployed.....

This year I've hit rock bottom so many times I cannot even begin to count.... MY HEAD IS A MESS

 

Wow, that does sound like a hard time and I feel for you. I know in some respects I should count myself lucky as my situation isn't THAT bad but then I can't help but evaluate my life from time to time and I just seem to be making the wrong turn each year.

 

Believe me, I know that feeling.

Just try to do whatever makes you happiest... There's no other solution. I've thought of it, and after years of making myself miserable by being to harsh on myself (I still am too harsh but less than before) I find that the only road to well being is to be happy with who and what you are....

 

As everyone else, I believe I've hit rock bottom a couple of times but what I can add, is that in those times where you hit bottom, is when you realize who your real friends are, as most of your "friends" turn their backs and don't give a shit.

What I do find useful when in these situations, is to channel all your feelings through something physical, as working out for example, or running, biking etc. In my case I channel everything through my martial arts training and so far it has helped a lot, I would have exploded by now if not.

And of course the classic advice, "cheer up the worse is yet to come" or just think that it can always get worse.

Like some people here, I think you hit rock bottom when everyone around you are a bunch of self centered assholes. It happened to me in 2007, I was with a group of people which I hated, so I started seeing new people, which was hard at first, but it was a good choice in the end, now I'm much better than before.

 

OKCupid isn't rock bottom, Craigslist is.

 

Rock bottom is when life demands its lemons back.

 

Rock Bottom: a guy talking to me in OK cupid chat and asking me if I could please use him as a human toilet because he'd like to drink my urine.

Now, he's hit rock bottom

And now I've done so because there's no apparent way to SHUT DOWN THE CREEPY ACCOUNT of horrible urine drinking stalkers!!!

It's the vortex of DOOM! DOOM I SAY!

 

I hit rock bottom when i was out of a job and sold my 360 devkit to buy things for this chick who claimed she "loved" me and then I bought her a nice dress and other things for a party we went to where she ended up screwing my best friend and then I drank myself to sleep where I woke up with them making out on me. Needless to say that mother**** is no longer my friend and the whereabouts of that skank is unkown. I can't make this up...

 

This is basically what I try to do except I probably don't have quite that much money saved up. So even if I did lose my job I could most likely always go back to working some crappy job like when I was younger and at the grocery store. Then sure in the worst case scenario there is parts of my video game collection, but I think it'd be easier to just pimp out the girlfriend. :dance:

As far as rock bottom about the only time I've hit an all time low would be third grade. How would you like it if someone yelled "if you hate damon move to this wall" and you realize your whole entire grade hates you? Sure of course it was childish bull crap from back then, and if I recall that kid that started the whole thing is this overweight alcoholic who dropped out of high school. =P

 

Loosing your closest friends on the premises that they are male, you are female, and they are confused about how they feel, so they stop seeing you because they are mad at you for dating someone....
