it can be incredibly hard to cope with those feelings; i completely get it. some things that might help are talking to people, whether anonymously or in your everyday life, doing activities that you like in order to make yourself feel better, and even though you probably won't believe it, it doesn't hurt to remind yourself that you are enough. it also doesn't hurt to have someone else remind you, so i'm here to tell you that you ARE enough. you are worth it, you deserve to be happy, and you and your feelings are valid. take care of yourself

There is something magical and beautiful in hitting rock bottom. It’s a place where you're forced to look in the mirror and think about who you are. You get to reflect on your past and look forward to your future. This is probably the first time you've ever had to truly do both. There is something beautiful in falling part. It gives you the chance to put the pieces back together however you like.
Everyone has a story. It doesn’t matter how tragic or not tragic yours is. We all have felt like we're stuck in this continuous rut with no escaping. We all have felt like we're not the same person we used to be. You know what? That’s okay. We're not meant to be the same person we were a year ago, a day ago or even an hour ago. We will not be the same person tomorrow that we are today. As a society, we like to think that someone can only hit rock bottom after something big goes wrong. Someone has had to have went through some huge loss, a huge drug overdose or anything else that’s just straight up horrible. These of course, could very well cause someone to hit rock bottom. Who are we to judge someone else’s struggle? We try to rationalize what can be determined as “rock bottom†and just “non-motivated,†this however, is crap.
Sometimes it's taking hits from the little things over and over again that causes you to hit rock bottom. It’s the words said, the words left unsaid. Maybe it’s a person or maybe it’s a consistent battle with yourself that has led you to this place. It doesn’t matter who or what has brought you here, all that matters is what you do now.Everyday you have to make a choice to move forward, to not look back and remember where you’re going. Don’t forget where you were though. You have to remember how you felt hitting rock bottom. It will remind you time and time again that you don’t ever want to feel that way again.Everyday you have to make a choice to move forward, to not look back and remember where you’re going. Don’t forget where you were though. You have to remember how you felt hitting rock bottom. It will remind you time and time again that you don’t ever want to feel that way again.You have to now focus on yourself, and frankly, you deserve to focus on yourself. You deserve to have that happiness. You just fought through hell to climb your way out of rock bottom. You deserve to celebrate that. It’s hard finding yourself all over again, that I won’t lie about. I wasn’t, however, lying when I said that there is something beautiful and magical in doing so. You get to create yourself all over again. You get to dream new dreams, strive for new goals and set new standards for yourself. You get to build yourself from the ground up. You soon find yourself appreciating and finding true happiness in the little things like you never did before. You no longer have to struggle to find the light because you're finally out of the dark and that is absolutely beautiful. Stay strong and beautiful and amazing. You can do this. I believe in you. Rock bottom is temporary. You're worth it.

Keep breathing. You are unique, you are an individual. You are irreplaceable. You are enough. Rock bottom can be the solid foundation for you to build your life on. Do things that you love, be with people that you love, and never be afraid to show how you feel because it means that you are courageous. Trust me, it takes a lot of courage to not be afraid of what people think of you. I wholeheartedly believe in you.

A change in perspective can be a very powerful tool. I find that when I am spiraling and there is no hope, no light at the end of the tunnel that following that tunnel will only lead me to the end. But if I change my view point about the issue, change the direction I'm looking, I find the light no problem. Good ways of changing perspective can be as easy as writing down what you are feeling, the issues you are facing and the methods you have tried. Go away and get your mind off of it completely for a while, tend to other things like house plants, laundry, go for a walk. Spend a day, if you have more time wait a week. Return to your trouble and look at it with fresh eyes. Avoid the methods you wrote down and form new strategies, new choices or new a outlook.

There's a Russian joke: "We thought we had hit rock bottom, and then someone knocked from below." Depression makes it feel like you have nothing left to give anymore. It's ok to take a break from yourself and these struggles and try just to enjoy yourself and treat yourself for the heck of it, because you deserve it. If you've been at rock bottom for a while or if feeling worthless affects your day-to-day wellbeing, it's ok to seek professional guidance from a doctor, counsellor, or psychiatrist - or even just to tell a friend, family member - or us here at 7cups. You deserve to feel worthy. Your worthiness is all up to you: no one else can set those standards for you. We cannot guarantee that things will get better - but we know they will stay the same if we give up entirely. Love yourself because you need a friend, and there is no better friend, that the person who wil literally always be there with us: ourselves. Best of luck to you, sincerely.

I listen to music. Good music. It depends on the severity of my mood. Listening to sad, slow music can be therapeutic. Or it can worsen the mood. Listening to happy cheery upbeat music is a better option. But then again it could make you feel worse as it's really not what you're feeling or anything you can relate to at the moment. So, that's why I go for badass music. The one that makes you feel empowered and beautiful and bold and careless. Taking a shower helps. I usually get dressed up. Make myself look good and feel good. Put my favourite lipstick on. Add some sparkle to my face. I'm worth it. Everybody feels this way and that's okay. But now, now I'm a cool rockstar. And then could go and talk to someone who loves me, my sister, or a friend. For support and love and reassurance. I'm okay again.

You need think about your future. It's important always be curious with "what will happen with me in a couple of years or in a couple of months." You should be your own investigator and discover if you have a good ending or not. And remember; If it is not a good ending, it mean that is not the end.
