Have you guys ever had a period of time where you thought you'd hit rock bottom, but it turns out rock bottom was actually a bottomless pit and you just kept falling further & further in?
What happened? And how did you deal with it / get over it?

Sighhh..I'm currently going through that right now.
Got into huge argument with a group of friends, then got into huge fight with mom, got kicked out, couldn't study for my midterm...>___<"

I'm trying to get through it by making graphics & listening to music and just trying to not care about what those people think. It's hard.

[silent8]

I'm goin through it now, an smoking is the only way i can forget about it for a bit but im recommendin that at all. i tried listening to music and not caring wot anyone else thinks but it didnt help me. i do suggest that you talk to someone about your problems, i talk to my cousin and friend who arent involved with my problems basically someone who is unbiased. it good to get advice from ppl it really helped me.

happened recently :s
my 'best friend' was pretending to be my friend for a good 2 months. and we got into a b!tch fight. and than all our friends started siding with her. and i lost a lot of my friends. she lied and made up stuff about me to get people pissed at me. and i was giong through family drama at the same time.. and my grades were horrible too -____-;;

the way i dealt it with it is by smoking too lol. and thank since i live with my mom and bro i can't drink.. so that was out of the question. listen to music, talk to my REAL friends about it. and started planning my permanent movement to korea. basically me wanting to move to korea was triggered by the friend dramas, family dramas, and school issue. all i can think of is "7 more months until korea!!"

[nowayin]

I hung out with friends who did not judge, who loved me and accept me for whatever I did.
I went out lots, went clubbing lots, and even got drunk. (bad idea to get drunk - the only good that came out of it was I had lots of fun! lol)
Since I am in school too, I am being bombarded with homework and exams, and I try my best to focus on those instead of the things that has happened.
I sleep lots too and eat things that I craved! I cried, reflected on all the things that happened.
I talk lots about it, to those who will listen and will lend me their shoulder.

[spiral_flare]

Yes. Since 3 months ago. I'm sick of my life right now. And it's not getting any better.

I don't want to get into the details but overall: someone I really care about hates me and it's affecting me in every way possible, I'm a senior in high school and have no idea what to do with my life (and it's beginning to get too late), my Thanksgiving break might be ruined, I don't really like any of my friends and some are starting to catch on, and I haven't had a bed to sleep on for a week (no joke).

[onFiRE*]

I think drinking only worsens it for me :[ My sadness gets enhanced tenfold.
Talking to people can only help so much...but then again I feel too ashamed of what's happening with my life right now to tell anyone.
I hope we can get through this guys.

@ spiral flare - I hope you'll be okay! You're situation sounds pretty bad...and I sincerely hope that you can get a good night's sleep soon. keep your head up.

[kimtehee]

i am going through hard times right now loosing myself each day
i try to find myself but i can't i don't know what happened to me
my grades are dropping every day but the number of people who dislike me increases
my life is just getting worse and right now i have to do my homework i am not motivated to do anymore....

[yoko102308]

Last Year D:

My mom hardly got any work hours so things were hard, my grades fell sooo much, some friends kinda turn on me, dad goes into hospital for months (alcoholic). I was extremely depressed for months. I didn't care about anything either.

But things are a lot better now <3 but I still kinda care less about things. I don't bother talking to people, and my grades are just bleh. The only thing that helped me was music.

[.shirleeang]

:[.
last year, my mom got cancer and then my average dropped to a 77 because i missed school because i was away. right after i came back i got a crazy fever for a week.
everythings going downhill from there, especially since it's junior year now. i keep cutting school because i don't feel like doing anything anymore.
so stressed out i wish i can quit this life and do something amazing. life's tough, what can we do...
just don't give upp because i realize i feel worse when i cut class even though i have no motivation for school.
everyday, i'm hoping somehow tomorrow will be amazing.

oh god i sound so depressing. ahhh.

[loikyish.]

i went through hell for a year.
my life just totally screwed up at that point of time.
major family problems, minor dramas in life like friends and heart issues. blaaah.
i was on the verge of giving up, totally off and down that i thought dying was the best solution to it but of course i realized now it wasn't at all. praying was. though it was tiring and frustrating, i kept my patience and my faith. other than that, i also focused my mind with kpop stuffs. that includes, music, dramas, movies, and also soompi played a big part in my "recovery". i focused on photoshop: graphic designing.

so yeah, keep yourself busy and think of other things. don't forget to pray as well. ^^
you just tripped in a big rock, brace yourself and get up. : )
we all get into that point in our lives.

[Seiiryuu]

I've been into this while I was...hmmm..10 years old? LOL I can't forget it. It's damn hurt TT.TT
My own best friend banned me, hated me and asked other to hate me too. Life is damn hard. I have no friends and no one wants to talk to me. I can't focused on my study and she kept reporting to teacher about Sailormoon's sticker that I brought to school =.='' and it was being confiscated. I was damn sad T.T until one day she come and ask for forgiveness. LOL

Recent one too,
Started from March, my life is soooooooooo unlucky. Aigooo, I thought someone cursed me already =.='' Bad results, crying overdose, stressed study life. LOL but when to think about it again, I feel like laughing, don't know why

[bonjour tristesse.]

Yes. I hit depression and I don't know .. nothing else mattered to me and I felt like dying. I just let things be and prayed that someday, what I did wrong would be erased in other people's minds. I wished a lot of times that this was just all a bad dream, that if it wasn't, I had the ability to go back time and change my mistakes. But .. of course .. that was wishful thinking.

[L-live]

yeah, totally.
like, since this semester started, it's been just awful.
for some reason my old acquaintances just lost touch with me, PE is NOT in second semester (which means running in rain) and the girls in my class are all asian clique girls, it's ALWAYS rainy, freezing, stormy and miserable, i currently have the WORST grades in all of my life, my business ed teacher just hates me, i dropped eight percent in english in one day, the grade eights this year get more and more corrupted, and i'm on writer's block. AND, i just feel depressed overall about everything.
i know, i sound like a phony little whiner. i've been depressed since the september and can't seem to pick up my pace in school. i'm just really withdrawn.

[pink.strawberrie;]

hmmm...right about now and it's probably only going to get worse. fml.

Everything is piling up on me, school work, boys, friends, family...just life.

SO STRESSFULLL, I'm going to breakdown.

[lee-chan]

Yeah. I think that was a year or two years ago when everything just fell into ruins, my life and my family's life. I remember it was the New Year, my family's problems worsened, I had an accident, then a death of a family member..it was so hard that everything just came all at once. But you know, after that storm, although it was so hard slowly everything went back at ease one step at a time.

[tiRaMisuMeii]

yes . currently . everything i do seems wrong and i can't find a solution to my problems :X
my problems only seem to worsen and i dont know what to do and sometimes i can't take it and want to talk to someone but theres no one for me to talk too.
Roght now im feeling like a trapped feeling and theres nothing i could do.

[RYUUSEi]

I've never been through such a hard period (well ... not hard enough for me to even attempt to compare it to all of you guys' experiences) and I'm extremely thankful for that. But reading through all these replies, I just had to drop a comment to say that I hope things look up for all of you SOON. Stay positive, keep your heads up. Things will get better even though it may seem impossible right now.

[MR. LEE'S]

yeah and i didn't know how to stop it. it gives me a huge burden, and i hate it.

[xcutemushroomiex]

I'm currently going through this too..

my dad's going to have treatment for a kidney stone soon..
people have been saying I've been 'out of it' for the last few days and asked me if anything was wrong.. I told them it was nothing.. but it seems like everything around me is moving too fast.. and I just get left behind to try and catch up with everyone. I question whether or not I have 'real friends', I can't take any of their 'jokes' and how they're leaving me out
and.. my results have dropped quite a lot.. even my science teacher said I used to be top now I'm in the 'lower half' of the class. The homework is too much to deal with.. I stay up pass midnight trying to finish, causing arguments with my parents..
Arghhhh.. *sigh* life.
I hope everything turns out ok for everyone smile

[p0ktan]

Senior year of high school I got into a huge conflict with my parents because they found out I secretly had a boyfriend. They took away my privilege to leave the house, computer, cellphone, basically anything I could use to communicate with him. They threatened not to send me to college, they threatened to kick me out of the house, they pretty much made my life at home miserable and it really showed in my schoolwork. I got an F in a class for the first time in my life...

It lasted for a few months, until things were finally "resolved." Thankfully I was able to raise up my grades, but that was the worst time of my life. I didn't want to talk about it with anyone, so I would spend a lot of time in my room just crying it out (it really relieves stress).

It's hard, trying to keep it all in. I tried to distract myself as much as possible, like you, but you won't feel any better until you're able to fix things with your friends and family.
