re: Have you ever reached rock bottom?

Yes. When I got out of jail and had lost everything I had and had no family to help me. It is almost impossible to climb out of that pit without help

Id say rock bottom is different for each person but being close to homeless or in a trailer, jobless, friendless is pretty much rock bottom.

Not rock bottom, but concrete bottom a few times by diving too deep.

So you'd consider spending Christmas Eve night alone in a house trailer with no electricity or water and you're huddled over a portable kerosene heater that is both your only source of heat and light as "rock bottom?

Keep your head up man. Call your ol' man, that always helps me if I'm ever feeling down.

That was my Christmas in 1986.
I made it past that and more. Keep your chin up Medic. No matter how bad it is now, the only way to make sure it never gets better is to give up. Keep fighting.

you fight until you can't fight no more. There are people depending on you and they need you to fight.

Never hit rock bottom but I've hit a few ruts.
I've got family, a few friends, a good job, a good dog, some ambitions, some hobbies, some things that I get excited about.
In the absence of true satisfaction in any one area, a few of those things should keep any man afloat. As much as I value family and friends and faith, having a few things I just outright enjoy doing and look forward to keeps me going more than anything else. Living day to day isn't optimal, but it'll get you through the rough patches.

Hey man Cena will be champ in a few days. Things are turning around!!!
I am not treating your situation as a joke I am just trying to hopefully lighten the mood.

I contemplated running my car off the road a few times in the past hour on the drive home.. idk what stopped me..
BUT YOU DIDN'T. Now that's positive. Something stopped you, find out what that something is. Good luck my friend.

January 2011 was my rock bottom. Dropped out of school for the 3rd time, didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, only girl I ever loved told me she hated me, moved back in with my parents, and drank/took painkillers every night to sleep. A very inspiring pep talk from my father woke me up and made me realize it was time to man up, quit quitting and stop feeling sorry for myself. I'm very grateful to have that mean old bastard in my life, I would be much worse off without him.

In Scottsdale that is considered nailing a chick with A cups for a bra size, right?

Idk, how much i'd wanna say on here, in case anyone knows me IRL... it's just a feeling of losing everything, or not knowing what to do. My son is gone for the summer with his mom.. I'm not homeless or jobless or anything... but I have this feeling of not being where i'm supposed to be at in life.. just fricking everything up as soon as it goes good.. and i feel like i'm failing.. even though i have one person who relies on me for everything.. and feeling like im a burden on others who are there for me.. yet not wanting to be a burden.. so giving up feels like the right thing to do so their lives will be easier cause i can't live with the thought of hurting or inconveniencing anyone else because my life isn't worth someone elses..
In all that I saw two key words.....

That right there is what you keep fighting for. No matter what shite life throws at you, you fight it off and you do it for him. He needs his father. If you can't fight and be strong for yourself,m then do it for him.

Expectations about where you're supposed to be in life will kill you.
Spend your time worrying about who you want to be and what you want to do (within reason). Work on being a good friend, good dad, good employee, whatever. That is stuff you control.
Know also you don't have to get there today.
