I found life has a bunch of false rock bottoms. You think it is bad, but just need to take a moment and realize what you truly have. Life normally is never as good or bad as you think it is.

We all do hit a rock bottom at some point though and everyone's is different. Mine was probably 20 years ago. Nothing crazy, just something to make me change my path in life.

The great thing about it, once you go there, nothing fazes you like it previously did.

It was the best thing to happen to me. Sometimes a dude needs his arse kicked by life. After that, your anxiety levels are not what they once were.

Laying on a cold concrete jail floor at 10am on a Tuesday while my wife (with the flu) and 5 month old son at home. I knew it at that moment almost 3 years ago and I’ve only gone up since then. Life is very good now.

I think I am in the thick of it right now as I go through a very hostile and contentious divorce. I will share more later.

Threads like this are good for many. When posters drop the juvenile banter and open their souls to share the lessons they learned and overcame are when this board provides the most growth.

For all that commented, I read each tale and tried to gain from your experience. Thanks for sharing.

How did you know?



"Rock Bottom" is different for everyone...just depends on what you have on the line and what you have to lose.....of course death is the ultimate rock bottom but some people can hit rock bottom without losing their life.

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.
