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

I know how it feels to experience that emotion about yourself. You do not have to feel unworthy of yourself. You need to take a deep breath, look around you, stay around the people who love you for what you are, who you are and just put one foot in front of the other and get through the day. You are a beautiful human being and you shouldn't feel that way about yourself even for a second!

I stop and think until I come up with a helpful, thought out solution that works for everyone. That way, I don't get myself into more trouble by making a rash decision.

It's very possible you just need a new perspective. Perhaps there is a way to get out of your situation but you haven't found it yet because you have been talking to the wrong people. Take care to notice if somebody has been repeatedly feeding you- information about yourself. It might not all be true, or maybe just be from their warped perspective. If some negative things are true about yourself - for example, if you are lazy, or do immoral things - try to correct these behaviors comma perhaps with a counselor or a support group on or offline, and try to turn your life around. All people are worth it simply because they are alive. another thing to keep in mind is that we do have a rather unhealthy society today, in which people are not conditioned to seek human contact, but to seek wealth and materialism. It is true that it can be hard to find a fulfilling life today. But there are lots of people out there who still have a healthy mindset, and it is possible to find them if you look. Changing your diet and getting some exercise can help, and also getting a life goal can work. If you feel like you can't reach your goals because of the way society is set up, perhaps make your goal to change society.

I’ve been in some bad situations in my life, to say the least. Who hasn’t, right? Some of them were of my own creation and others came straight out of left field and were nearly impossible to prepare for. Here’s a list of things I discovered that helped me find some relief during my, personal, rock bottom. 1. Be nice to people. If you can be kind through your dark times and not bite the unsuspecting heads off of innocent bystanders, you’ll find your personal happiness uplifted. It won’t pay your bills or fix your health, but it will give you some personal satisfaction and gratification. 2. Accomplish something During low points, or mine at least, I felt like a total failure. Things felt pointless for awhile, I won’t lie. I had a hard time focusing on things that felt worth living for. But then, stubbornness took hold and I realized, that when you’re struggling between that month’s rent and eating, even small accomplishments are worthy of note. Clean your house, go for a run, finish a book, finish a story, write a book, volunteer, ect. Just do something, and feel good about it. It is the reason that's why I joined 7cups. I love helping people and give them support when needed.

The only thing you can do from there is work your way up. You've made it this far. Even if you can't see the sun shining right now, it's still there, just hidden behind the clouds. You're so very strong. Best of luck.

As simple as it sounds, I always try to remind myself: it can always be worse. It helps to think that even in the midst of hitting rock bottom, there HAS to be at least one positive aspect to my life.

Although it's difficult to do so, approach your friends, and consult a therapist. The latter doesn't always work for me, but having friends around always does. They remind me that I'm great and stuff. (Even when I don't feel that way.) And even if I didn't believe them, I felt as if I was being supported at least.

The only way left for you to go is up! Find something in life that you enjoy, and really get into it. Enjoy what it feels like to live! Go to that special tree that you've always loved, sit down at a cafe and drink your favorite drink, be with other people. Be content with yourself.

I just cry myself out. Crying really helps me to burst out all of the sadness and hatred inside of me. After I cry, it makes me feel better and I look up in the internet of motivational and inspiring stories and quotes. It really helps me to think positively. I believe in myself that I can rise up again after I fall so deeply. I have this quote that helps me. F.E.A.R. has two meanings - Forget Everything And Run OR Face Everything And Rise

One things to do is try to point out the good things that happened in your day or week. You can keep a journal, or even just think about them during the day when you're feeling down to bring you back up.

Realize that this will pass. No matter how bad things get, things will always get better. There is no such thing as "worth it". You don't owe anything to anyone. Your mere existence is for yourself. You can reach for dreams if you like, but if they don't come true there is always another option out there. Life is anything that keeps you deciding to live every day. You don't have to be anything that amazing, but realize the fact that your body keeps you alive every day, that blood keeps pumping through you, that you are capable of thinking and feeling and dreaming is amazing enough. I've felt how you feel so many times but I always find a reason to keep living. My favorite tv show, my favorite songs, and the possibility that things will get better. Trust me, you can do this.

You have to believe in yourself, it's okay to lose, it's okay to be angry, no matter what people think of you, as long as you believe in yourself, then nothing else matters

Think of everything in your life that is important to you, what you live for e.g. family, friends, pets etc. and concentrate on what makes you smile so it will hopefully make you feel better. Think about what you've done for other people. another way of making yourself feel better is to listen to music.

If you really have hit rock bottom, then remember it cannot get worse than that. So you have to start moving up, step by step, until you are better. Also, no matter who you are, you are ALWAYS worth something to someone, even if just a little bit. Remember those two things and you might get out of the dark hole you have fallen into.

Reach out for help. Whether it be a friend, a family member, a doctor, or someone here on this site. Know you aren't alone, even if you feel like you are.. there are so many others who have felt the way you do and have climbed up from rock bottom. You may feel like there's no hope right now but trust me, life is beautiful and worth living. And you were out here for a reason.

It seems like you're having a depressive episode, my best advice is tell someone, a parent, friend, sibling. If you live alone ask the person to stay over to keep an eye on you. And do as much as you can to distract yourself. Try not to keep your mind on it, talk to listeners On here.

Just know that you are loved. You are worth everything and more. Just because you can't see it yourself doesn't mean no one else does. Try to learn to accept yourself and practice self love. Appreciate yourself because you deserve the best things in life

The thing about hitting rock bottom is that you can only go upwards from there. You are worth it, no one is worthless. You may feel otherwise but remember, just because a $100 note may be crumpled, it does not lose its worth - no matter what happens to it - because it is still $100, it never loses that worth. The same goes for you.

I have felt like that a lot. But you have got to understand- all this is a part of life. We need pain to know what happiness and comfort is. When you feel you have hit the rock bottom, you just have to believe that the only way you can go is up. Keep telling yourself you are fine, that everything is fine and you will be fine. You might not even believe in it, but guess what? When you repeat it to yourself again and again, the positive thought convinces you that you will be fine. You are worth so much more. Believe in it. The world was created for you.

I usually take a nap because that influences my mood a lot. I also talk to strangers online. Sometimes a conversation with someone you don't​ know can give you new insight on problems or worries.
