re: Have you ever reached rock bottom?

Part of my work is as a licensed psychotherapist. I didn't think it could or would happen to me. It did, and I had to turn to someone else to guide me out. When it's you, you forget about all the training, because now it's your life. I will say that what I learned from the experience has given me more insight to help others, so that's a good thing. There are still bad days, and there will be. You simply have a fallback plan for those bad days. Funny assed thing, going through a major situational depression actually allowed me to learn a lot about myself as well as my motivations for things I did. I started learning to do things I wanted to do instead of living up to the expectations of others.
