re: Have you ever reached rock bottom?

I haven't hit rock bottom because I have will power. Sounds like you have some character issues.

I don't think you have lived enough life yet. Depression can be self-destructive and for many, it is a life long thing to be managed.

Then again, I was at the height of everything and everything came crashing down when my ex left. It was like one domino going down after another. Sometimes, we spend our time in hell contemplating and reflecting. That's how it has worked for me. Little by little I am redefining my life to something I am happier with.

Having gone through all of that, I will never make fun of or put down someone who is in the crapper emotionally. After having been there, I can understand at least some of their pain.

I always like the saying that "religion is for those who are scared of going to hell, while spirituality is for those who have already visited the place."
