As long as you dont step on peoples toes, it could get better for you. Sometimes all it takes is a positive mind set and a change of location.

DO NOT GIVE UP BEFORE THE MIRICLE!!! So many people who throw in the towel or think they cannot take anymore, quit, give up, or surrender to hopelessness just a few short strides from relief, support, understanding, finishline without ever realizing how close they were to overcoming their most difficult moment.. and if i could give 1 more pearl, this one is just as important.. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS reach out before giving up. ALWAYS. Even if you feel like you have no one to reach out too, in a world of 8 billion lonely people, I promise there are many that care even if you dont think so.
If its you thats reading this that feels like giving up, dont. Youre valuable, your loved, you can conquer this.

Stop drinking while you can; your kids will thank you for who you've become.

NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF

Keep going, every little steps count. Even the people you spend time with reflect who you are.

If you surround yourself with shady or criminal types, it’s easy to pick up their habits and drift that way. But if you spend time with hardworking, honest, upper middle class people, you’ll start mirroring their values and behaviors instead.

Do you think Donald Trump or Joe Biden hang out in the ghetto, smoking pot and selling dime bags? Unlikely, they socialize with the super rich, the elite, and the powerful to gain influence, keep it, and make money.

It’s okay to hit rock bottom sometimes. What matters is not staying there. I’ve been at the bottom a few times, sometimes because of my own choices, sometimes for health reasons and I never gave up. That’s the whole point.

Never give up on yourself.

Just keep trying and don't give up.

Focus on what is important for YOUR future, rather than keeping up with the materialistic culture society keeps telling you is so important and peer pressure. Yes, you need breaks from the struggles and day-to-day grind, but find ones that are healthy, non-addictive, and that you can afford without going into unnecessary debt. Don't be suckered into maxing your credit card or student debt because they are usurious (look it up; not only is it a word, there used to be laws against it) traps leading to ever spiraling interest for some corporation.

There is always tomorrow, and someone who misses you.
keep looking forward never back.,things will get better, its up to you
BillyMack · 46-50, M
Focus on the little things that you can control. From there, bigger things start to improve.

Talking with professionals helps.

Working on a solution helps.

Accepting that what’s done is done and you can no longer dwell on it helps.

It will be lonely at times. And it will be difficult. But there is a path forward.
Life is cycle. This will pass, and when it comes back again, you know what to do to get passed it again.
The one good thing about rock bottom - there is no lower. You can go only up from there.
Reinvent yourself

remember that; the divine consciousness, higher spiritual power or god, is infinite, forever, eternal, you have the divine source within you, the problems of this world are 'finite', draw upon the divine's infinity to overcome the finite problems which are thrown at you in this world.

I've been several times.

Just keep pushing. Force self care. Focus on the people who do show up even if it's not much. Even if the lifeline is small, hold on, and climb. Climb even if your fingers bleed. You will make it.

You never know what great change is just around the corner. Don’t give up.
One foot in front of the other. Just do the next thing you can.

Dig deep down and find that something that is giving you colour.

千里之行,始于足下 — “A journey of a thousand li (approximately 300 miles) begins beneath one’s feet.”

An ancient Chinese proverb meaning the journey, regardless of what it may be, begins with the first step. Gather up the will to take the first step, then in no time at all, you will begin to speed forward into your new life.

Everything doesn't always get better, but good things will still happen if you hang around and let them.

Go to a children's cemetary.
@MrBrownstone That would have just made me more depressed when I was at rock bottom 🤣
BrandNewMan · 61-69, M
I found out rock bottom had an f'ing basement.

So .. when you're going through hell .. its important to keep going even if just in small steps. Its no time for a rest stop.

@BrandNewMan Only one? I thought Dante had like 7 layers to hell.
BrandNewMan · 61-69, M
@Tastyfrzz Lol .. I'd had enough and bailed after dropping into the basement
Breath - you're alive, its ok.
Breath again - its ok to stop and take stock
Keep breathing - life's wheel will turn again.

Well... it takes guts and a strong personality NOT to break apart!

@SabOrsetti there is no breaking point
The only way is up… baybay

I have hit what felt like "rock bottom" a number of times. I made it through all those times and was glad that I did. There was not one of those times where I looked back and was like "damn if only I'd killed myself." Never.
Likestoenjoylife · 51-55, M
Do something to make your life better doesnt have to be major or spectacular but something! Because if you stay at rock bottom and do nothing you will find it can get worse.

It’s ok to give up just don't do anything dumb .. give yourself a break .. pray
Realize that "misery enjoys company". I know it is cliche', but it is also true.
hunkalove · 70-79, M
Give up. It ain't worth the effort.
Sutten · 41-45, F
What can feel like the end is often just a beginning in disguise. Feelings do shift, even the heavy ones, so take it one small step at a time and focus only on getting through this moment, not the whole path ahead. In heavy moments, it helps to pause before making permanent decisions from temporary emotions.
SammyJo · 51-55, F
Metaphorically speaking, initially, just look at your feet. Concentrate on that. Just go forward...and there will come a time when you can bring your head up and look behind yourself and realise just how far you've come.

But, first steps need always to be focussed and blinkered.

Keep on keeping on.

never trust any one that much that he/she can erased you from your life and you lost faith upon you
Uncfred · 70-79, M
@lonelyloner I think I understand, but faith and trust are the cornerstone of our existance.
lonelyloner · 31-35, F
@Uncfred not always it's just a mind game
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Once you hit bottom, the only way is up.
IsawDDevil · 36-40, M
Never sweat love or people.
Keep breathing and don't discuss your problems to anyone.
Taking action is the only solution even if you don't like it or want to.
Just do it!
