Eric_Le_Rouge: I read alot of you saying 'Making you Stronger' Its a picture you put you in. I went down rock bottom myself and i still suffer in silence from it. You build barricade, you lock doors, you put your hand in front of you and say stop!. You really think its good to do that?
you are not suffering at all with this method?
Maybe i dont look like someone who had gone down, but thats the point.
You dont know who you can talk to and trust, talking about your little secrets.
Sometime i would need a fairy so i can talk to and no one will make a case about it.
Yes life sometime is not so funny. I need to kick myself a few times because nobody gonna do it for me.

*****H@rDY****: "Whenever I think I hit the rock bottom, i came to understand that TIME heals but HOW real and definite is TIME HEALING>>??? One would say MOVE ON mate, without saying how/why, or might say STEP UP yet without saying how/why or PERSEVERE without being Motivated to... Dame!!! How would i cope...? Theres only one solution that I ussually prefer... "Be One With The Nature"

Cos to me Nature aint religious sort of answer or scientific sort... its our INSTICNT that feels welcoming to our surroundings..

Nature dont say go seek answers but says "Come and Get It"

There are every where at your backyard, in the cool evening breeze, within a down pour, sunset an sun rises.... with them. Make It Real and you will feel you aint alone still.

How should I do that?????? Damne!!!

Its Simple "LOVE YOURSELF",... and a back yard botany, varse full of roses, a warm evening breeze, a down pour, bird singing in the woods, the twinkling stars and moon, etc... a natures own ways of reminding us that you aint finish yet, Your Days are still Wonderful you got learn from it and live for it...

Hope it helps...... (A Country or Beach Setting is a greater place to have a time out for such occasion)

MikeZ: "Life is like a big obstacle put in front of your optical to slow you down. Just when you think you've gotten past it, it comes back around and tackles you to the damn ground."

When you've truly hit rock bottom, you have no where else to go. The silver lining is you can only go up from there.

spankdmonkey: The good thing about rock bottom is you can only go back up .Sometimes its better to hit the bottom ,,then procastinate at middle level forever .What you do is accept your at the bottom and now get back up dust yourself of realise that no matter what the reason you hit bottom for start climbing back up ,small steps at a time .

You can never change what happened but you can change the way you feel about it and the way you react to it .What does not kill you makes you stronger .We have all hit rock bottom sometime in our lives .But the tough ones get back up and are better for the adventure .You cannot appreciate the good if you have not suffered the bad .

Cage_Alien: life seems to be a permanent problem i think.. Thats why its so hard.. we get through one thing then something else comes along.. Its not as easy to just get past one thing.. if it was it would be nice. And you only get stronger if its better things ahead or it will break you down..

spankdmonkey: Hi cage alien not really ,Because if you get knocked down 100 times you have to get back up, yes it can be disheartening ,But its about attitude why accept defeat when you could have got back up and all of a sudden things changed because of you getting back up .the other choice is accept defeat and wallow in shit so to speak ..Life has its twists and turns ,succsess is failure turned inside out .will post a poem later i wrote, many many years ago it explains it all .

MickeyK: The unrelenting love of people who really care about me is what has gotten me through. And when they seem far away and I lay on my pillow at night, tears streaming into my ears, I look at the ceiling and ask why. Why does it hurt so bad? Why did this have to happen to me? Why is it so hard to allow my heart to heal so that I may one day risk loving again? Why are people more interested in the temporary fixes, the soothing touch of skin on skin when it all ends the moment the door shuts and you are left alone again? Why do I feel so broken and how can I ever be whole again?

Once a person has suffered traumatic loss, I don't think the old whole can exist anymore. The journey becomes then, learning to adjust to the new status quo and hopefully, finding a way to be at peace with the new you that has emerged. Will you be like a phoenix rising from the ashes, or will you allow yourself to be so broken that you remain mortally wounded, walking as though you are already dead. Acting dead is a subpar existence and hurts yourself and others.

So what then is my conclusion? Your will, your defiance to those people and things that have hurt you, your refusal to let it kill you. By making a new mantra for your life, and it is different for everyone, then you can begin to focus on what you want to have, not what is. Life is a process and I still am not done. Have I acheived peace? No. But is peace really possible this side of heaven? What I long for most in life is peace and love and hope. Lose one or more and life is like a mouthful of ashes until they can be regained.

socialdistortion: Music helps me through the bad times. I have a job I hate, I live at home because I can't afford to move out, and I have no girlfriend or any prospects of ever having one. However, when I put on my favourite music none of that matters because I go to a happy place where earthly worries are irrelevant.

Seriously, throw on some John Coltrane, close your eyes and watch your problems drift away.

silverio: I think my rock bottom is when i turned to alcohol when i went to an abrupt breakup.I mean it sideswiped me because i thought she was the one. Sometimes i feel that i let ´the one´ go. Now im left with a drinking problem and a low self esteem. Its like life isnt as exciting as i wished it to be. I know that life doesnt always go as you would like it to but i thought at least i would come near my future goals.I also know that it is wrong to sit around and wait for something wonderful to happen but when it comes to ´love´ im getting older and more tired. I dont know wether to sit and wait patiently or go out and find it. I do go by a some advice that was given to me once.......´as long as you´re alive, there will always be an opportunity. Why am i telling strangers about me....? Sometimes they are the best listeners.

krisRO: when i feel like i hit rock bottom, i think about all that i am grateful for....I am healthy, and I don't have CANCer.

or I just watch "passion of christ" which definitely gives another perspective....my problems are nothing compared to that...
