What do I do when I feel like I've hit rock bottom and I'm not worth it anymore?

It can be so discouraging when you hit rock bottom. You feel like there's no way out and if there is, there's no point. Perhaps there is still a logical side to you that's telling you you'll feel okay again, but it's so incredibly difficult to believe that thought! Think about every time you've felt the worst you've ever felt. I'm assuming you've gotten out of that, at least a little bit? That's what you try to focus on. You've survived every awful day you've had so far, and you WILL survive every awful day you may be experiencing now. Focus on the little things. The way the sun feels on your skin. The wind blowing on your face. The baby smiling at you in the bus or queue. Seeing your loved ones happy. All those cliches are sometimes the things keeping you going - and that is okay! Reach out to someone. Do something you love. Try a new hobby. Write about your feelings. Allow yourself to feel the way you feel, but also treat yourself how you would a friend in that situation - with kindness and compassion. You will get through it, and you are ALWAYS worth it.

You should try to look at the picture differently. Yes you might have hit rock bottom, but it can only get better from there. That’s the thing it can only be bad for so long before starts to happen. And the sooner you let it come the better you’ll be

Think of the things you've accomplished, even if they seem small to you, they actually seem big to other people. You've accomplished being born, going to school, learning, you've accomplished more than you think!

I understand how you feel. I know what it's like to be there, but there's always a reason to keep going. If you think you're not worth it, think of the people around you and the last thing they have done for you, or look in the mirror and find something you love about yourself and cling to it, and try to think of the good parts of you instead of the bad.

In this situation, the only thing you can do is to change your mentality about your situation by merely realizing that the only way to go from rock bottom is up.

you’re never not worth it anymore, and you are not alone in thinking like that. My guess is you’re feeling scared and alone but know that so many people have been through that and have come out stronger. I suggest you try and find some form of professional counselling or treatment from a doctor, to help you deal with your feelings. Just remember to never give up no matter how hard things get. I have been there, as many more people than you think have, and it takes a while to get back on your feet but you will get there if you take the advice and support from the people you surround yourself with and seek help to make you feel happier.

I try not to isolate. Isolation can make things so much worse. I try ground myself and to distract myself by writing or drawing. If I can, I try to be in contact with friends or family. I may not tell them what is going on with me but talking with them about anything can help ground me.

I have hit this point many times, and it is so difficult to climb out. I found that saying something nice about myself in a mirror every morning when I woke up eventually convinced myself that I was good enough. Depression is real, and even though your thoughts may seem real, you have the power to change them. Every person matters.

I have had such moments, and whenever I do feel that way, I do something really stupid. I place a hand on my chest and feel my heartbeat. I think of all the ways my life could have ended if my organs hadn't been working properly day in and day out. This reminds that each day there are so many things which could go wrong but don't and I am able to live for another day for a reason. Because there is still something left for me to do. That always gives me the courage to undertake any and all challenges.

Feeling low? We’ve all been there! There are times when everything seems so difficult to achieve. You are going to face a lot of hardships in your life. You’ll be met by criticism and people will try their very best to break you and bring you down. It is usually at such points in life when you are most likely to degrade yourself to such an extent that in the end, you’ll consider yourself nothing but a loser, someone who doesn’t deserve anything and is a complete failure. You’ll believe whatever people tell you about yourself and will start criticizing your own self as well. However, what you need to realize is that everyone faces hardships in their lives but that does not mean that you continue to beat yourself. Don’t let people’s words affect you because people will always talk no matter what you do. Unfortunately for a lot of us, we listen to the judgments of other people. This in turn leads us to only focus on our negatives. We ignore all of the positives that we possess. No individual will be able to achieve anything in life if he or she thinks that they are a failure or keeps on experiencing a low mood. Bringing yourself up again can be tough but it isn’t impossible.
