I understand what it feels like to have hit rock bottom and feel as if I have no purpose. It is a very difficult feeling and it is very hard to manage. I cannot advise you anything specifically as I have not walked a day in your shoes or experience. I am however here to listen and support you the best way I can. Would you like to tell me what happened that made you feel as if you hit rock bottom? Why has this event made you feel worthless? How long have you been feeling this way? Things do get getter and I am here to help you.

I take a deep breath and write down things that make me happy and what I am thankful for. If I have time usually I would go for a walk or do some yoga. Also, I find having a support network around me (Ie. Friends and family) it is helpful to talk to them. Talking to friends and family is a good way to relieve some stress. Talking to them you can express how you are feeling etc. Having certain people as your go to to keep you busy can be helpful. Sometimes I find it is good to just have me time and get a bath or do a face mask to feel better.

The first thing I would do is consider the things you have managed to do in your life. What have you gotten through, and how did you do it? Maybe it was a breakup, loss of a family member, or a job. I recommend thinking back on those times and looking at how you got through it. For a more practical solution, try doing one small thing. It could be as simple as making your bed, and you're at least accomplishing something. Taking on the big things first may only make you feel more strongly that you've hit rock bottom. In short, consider the past, and start small.

The bottom in life seems like so far to fall and in this you don't know if that is the bottom or if, in fact, that bottom will drop out and there will be a new bottom and you will be falling forever, on and on, and not sure if you run out of room to fall and the feeling of self-worth is not there anymore. This feeling of loss is overpowering and I get this sense you don't know where else to turn, but in this there might be hope for the lights to appear in the darness when all hope appears lost.

I self reflect in a positive manner. I think about all the positive things I have done and also think about future things that I have planned. This helps me steer away from any negative thoughts. Although I know that it might sound boring self reflecting helps others become self-aware if oneself. This allows us to look neutrally at our thoughts,feelings, emotions and even our curiosity. We begin to dig deeper in ourself and really questions why do I feel this way. This results from effort and time from others. When I sit down and self reflect I remember that I’m not perfect and I’m human prone to make mistakes.

When you've lost all hope and you find yourself at rock bottom; you're wondering if things could get any worse. Well, one thing's for sure; there is no way down anymore, only up. In time you know that no matter what, you will not stay in the same place for long. It can be hard to not know your worth; with the world being so competitive and harsh on us. But take a moment to for example become aware of yourself; your senses, your breathing, your thoughts, the connections you've made with people and all the little contributions (even making someone smile!). It all forms your very own existence. Surely...there should be a reason why you've been given this life in the first place, why you're YOU. And if there's a reason, you're definitely worth it. Even when it feels like you're not. Everything you do is a part of something bigger.

The good thing about hitting rock bottom, there's only one way left to go and that's UP!” Hitting rock bottom is the beginning of questioning everything that you've ever thought to be true. You question your motives, other people's motives, your beliefs, your fears, why you did things, why you didn't do things, why you attracted certain people and circumstances, why you succeeded, why you failed. The expression, “hit rock bottom,” was popularized by Alcoholics Anonymous and has become part of our common language. Usually it means that a person has reached a point where there is nothing else to lose. ... The landing is so painful and jarring, we believe, that it just may be enough to motivate a person to change.

If you feel as if you’ve hit rock bottom its important to understand and recognise how you got there in the first place. Was it something that someone said? Has it built up over time or are you not sure. Once you come to a conclusion you should find an activity that you enjoy this could be something you used to do or something you want to try out. The majority of those who reach rock bottom experience something similar to a depressive episode, by similar i mean that their daily schedule either becomes crowded or dull, making them boring or stressed. In conclusion how to lift yourself up is to change up your routine, find something you enjoy!

Thanks for the question. I can understand when things don't go right and you feel you have reached a dead end. It is important to remind yourself what makes you happy and what things you still want and if you try a bit you can achieve .It could be anything like savouring your favourite ice-cream and going for it. It will make you happy. You might also be in a transition phase and observe carefully what are the things which recently have made you feel this bad. Do you think you can do anything about those problems or situations ? If not then it's okay, but if yes how much you think you can sort out the problems? Do you need assistance or how much time realistically you will need to solve them? You may think it is the last part but it also could be a new beginning. Take care 💓

When I have hit rock bottom and feel like I am not worth it anymore, I try to find a calm place, mentally or physically. Once I have found this, I try to look at the situation from a different perspective. The question I ask myself to do this is "How would I feel if someone else was in this situation?". Usually this makes me feel calmer and better able to assess the situation. There have been situations where I was too hard on myself, and I realise I never would be this hard on anyone else in my situation, so I should not be this hard on myself either. Or I realised that if a friend went through this, I would still love them and be there for them, so if I confide in the people closest to me, they will probably accept me too and try to help me. And most of all, it makes me realise that it would not make me stop loving this person, so I can believe I am still loved. There are so many good people on this planet, like the ones who use their time to make others feel worth it in this community, that must mean there are still people who love you. This usually calms me down enough to be able to open up about my problems and to start looking for a solution! (For me praying also really helps to calm me down, but I understand this will not be the case for everyone!)
