Are you in at a low point in your life? To whoever needs to hear this
Whatever it is. Whatever it is that put you in a rut.
It could be financial devastation. It could be the loss of a loved one. It could be an excruciating breakup.
Just remember,
It could be worse.
You could be homeless. You could have a debilitating disability. You could have a terminal illness.
You could be dead.
But you're not. You're still alive. You're still relatively healthy.
So where do you go when you're at your low point? Most people would say "the only way to go is up!". That's simply not true. It can always get worse. Read above.
You need to come to terms with what happened. Mourn it. Accept it. Put it into perspective.
And then figure out your next move. Will you roll around in your own sorrow for the rest of your life? Will you whither away into nothing?
Or will you use that event as a catalyst for the next chapter of your life? A springboard to move up and get where you always wanted to be.
Your back is now against the wall. Just like your favorite heroic story. Or your favorite stock or crypto. It always has to drop first before it bounces to greener pastures.

I was homeless at one point, I picked myself up rather than giving up. At least I had my car to sleep in. I get your irony but that's not a cool message to send out.Originally Posted by Nitnku

Thanks man. Just wanted to share something different on the Misc for once.Originally Posted by stupid000
It's not supposed to solve anything. The point is.. when tragedy happens. Go through the emotional process with it and then make a decision to get past it.Originally Posted by davik
Ask people who have lived a sad life and most will trace it back to a singular event which they never got over.

Like I said, I like your message and am happy you shared it. I think though that people whom dwell on that event or events and don't analyze it, learn from it, and let it ruin their lives need some guidance. I let every mistake make me stronger, even if it takes time.Originally Posted by Phobaphobia

Turning 33 in less than 5 hours literally. Hate it, but do my best to not let it get me down. I'm stupid, but I've learned a lot in these 33 years, so there is a bright side.Originally Posted by Gios
