re: How many posters on here have hit what they considered ROCK BOTTOM?

When I was on active duty in the Army as an E-5 I went through a divorce. I got married way too young, at 21 years old. The divorce happened right after my first deployment to Afghanistan and when divorce proceedings went through I believed I had hit rock bottom, although this thread makes one realize that rock bottoms always have varying degrees of severity. I kept asking myself what I could have done differently, blamed the deployment, was it money issues, ect ect.
As cliche as it may sound, I took it one day at a time, and eventually time helped. Money, material items lost in a divorce can always be made up in the long-run. However, self-care and allowing time to help heal allows for the psyche to adjust to normalcy once again. Leaving the Army, re-enrolling into school, and some counseling at the VA helped me obtain that normalcy I wanted for myself after my divorce.
