what was your lowest point in life…n how did u come out of it..how long did it take u??

Re: share everyone...

Can't say I've had a 'lowest' point in life. There have been some major up's and downs, but when I look at the problems that other people have I wouldn't swap my own for theirs.

Each of us are here for our own test. Allah only gives you challenges that he knows you can handle. Never compare yourself to others - each of us is different and special in our own way.

When I'm feeling down I always snap myself out of it by thinking of all the good things I have in my life. I have a good family, I have a roof over my head, I have access to clean water 24/7, I have as much food and drink as I like etc. Even these simple pleasures in life are more than what some people in this world have.

Remember - don't give up trying while you still have something inside you to give, because nothing is over until you give up trying.

Re: share everyone…

lots really … but I try to keep them in the dark side of my brain… to snap out of a low time isnt very easy .. takes its time , but alot really depends on the person themself … how ready they are to move on ..

Friends have been the biggest source of motivation and inspiration in my life .. sometimes strangers … but the best source is Allah mian .. when i feel down , I just sit on the prayer mat for hours nonstop and keep praying to Allah mian , talking to him .. though its one sided I usually get up with a new energy and a new zeal to tackle the problem ..:hugz:

Re: share everyone...

Everyone copes with different situtations differently. There is no time limit or set criteria which will help you overcome those dark periods which one may experience. I have had a few situtations where I thought I would never be able to pick myself up and carry on. Some still hurt to this day but over time and with continued support I found that I did manage to progress and get over the darkness.

One thing for sure is that, this world does not stop for no one. This is a temporary existence and whilst we are here we should do whatever we can to make the most of it. You can stop and stare and be stuck in a rut, or you can live to live again. Choice is ours, as to whether or not we want to move on.

Re: share everyone...

I failed in couple of papers in my bachelors. That point was the lowest point in my life but proved to be the biggest motivator for a massive turnaround in Masters where I secured 2nd position on merit.

I still remember those days (around 10-15 days) were like "end of life" but my family stood by me. They knew that something might have gone terribly wrong in preparations or approach etc. I owe my later success to my ammi/abbu/sister and brother. All it took was lot of motivation and contribution from my family.

Re: share everyone...

I can't really say what my lowest point was in public but it took me around 6 7 months to come out of it and it was purely the support of my friends and not my family or relatives that I managed to come out of it.

Re: share everyone...

Well im going thru one now, I want to get a career, but because i messed around when i was 16 in college, i dont think their gonna accept me back into college now. Now i feel my whole life is messed up i dont know what route to take what to do now. I feel really down about it, I cant seem to get ANY job. Its really depressing. Further more got ALOT of family issues going on, Serious issues. I try not to think about that, It doesnt bother me as much as my career does. I've failed so far. God knows what else i've got left to fail now! I'll probly get married and fail that too. But you know i always have a false smile on my face, And the little things in life make me happy like, my kitten! What else can i do? cry about it all my life? No, actually get up and DO something about it. I cant see any light at the end of the tunnel atm, But im sure something will turn up.. Never know theres always a reason why i cant get a job or sort a career out, Maybe my future husband will have everything and i wont need to work. Who knows!! I aint stressing.................... yet

MixedBeauty: You can totally go back to college at any age in the UK. Maybe not a structured 6th form (if you want to do A-levels) but college for sure.
My friend did an Econ degree and afterwards decided she wanted to do Psychology and Neuroscience but didn't have the right A-levels. So she went back to college and did Chemistry and Biology in 1 year. Whether you want to do A-levels or any other courses (NVQ, BTech, whatever) it's easy to go back to college. There might be some minimum requirements such as gcse passes but no biggie. At the end of the day, what matters is your determination to do well, even if the college isn't amazing.

Just because I have read chain for posts from you. And I really want to give you perspective on things.

My lowest points were.

1-I was on anti-depressant for a whole year, slept 16 hrs a day. Lost all muscle mass.
After a first month of being on pills I I started waiting for death. That did not happen.
And because I did not speak to any one in my house about my condition. I suffered more.

how I go out:: I GOT BORED!!! I said what the Fuk. flushed down all the pills.
It was hell at the start giving them up,First I counted mins every day, then counted hrs.

Finally work out and little dating :smiley: triggered right hormones at right places. And life became beautiful.

2- for one whole year I smoked drugs 3 times a day. I was having problem with adjusting severely changed realities in my life and family :hinna:

How did I get out::
Agian I said to my self what the Fuk… and stop doing it and STARTED doing what I loved.

And look at me now :snooty: I am plain awesome :snooty:
:smiley:

Please don’t quote.

Re: share everyone...

Just for your own sake!!!!!!

Re: share everyone…

:hmmm:

lowest point was when i screwed up my own wedding 4 yrs ago, royally screwed, lost the girl that i really loved, had debt of over $40000 at the age of 23 which did not include OSAP :D, left canada for a yr, started heavily smoking, started drinking, lived a secluded life and yeah contemplated suicide :D. One day just wokeup and decided screw dat there is no reason to cry over spilt milk, sent a long email to the girl in which i appologised and promised i will leave her alone, quit my job in dubai, told my dad i am going back to toronto, packed my bags and came bak, faced the problems i had created and solved them, worked my a$$ off and paid off all the debt and mended my relationship with my family and gained their trust back, 6 months later she contacted me one day and told me that she fgave me which kinda helped but then again the guilt of almost screwing her life is there to stay with me forever but that didnt stop me and here i am 3 yrs later successful in what i do, content with life and happy with who i am.

And yes as some of you might agree I AM A D`BAG :wink:

Life goes on girl you just need to giddy up and fight :k:

My lowest point was when I was stuck in a forced marriage with one of my cousins.

I got out of it with the help of Allah, it took me years though. Then afterwards it took me years to deal with all the evil things my exhusband and some of my inlaws had done to me.

Nowadays I'm very happy, alhamdulilah. I've noticed how nothing really seems to be able to make me truly unhappy or depressed, alhamdulilah.

Re: share everyone...

i am not over yet with my lowest point of life...hope i'l get back to this thread after an year to tell if it was my lowest point or i have yet to see another...

Hold on, neha55511. Insha Allah things will get better for you. May Allah help you and give you peace and happiness, in this world and in the next.

thanx notorious:)

Re: share everyone...

im feeling the same..im just on the edge now dealing with all this...im sick and tired of all this n i want an END TO IT...for which im consciously making an effort now...n i hope i will be able to make it in next few months..

Re: share everyone...

My lowest point in life is still kinda going on .... hasn't completley ended but i've kinda learned how to deal with the issues .... and i think a couple of things in the right direction will more or less end it .... about how i've come to deal with the situation ... ummm i can't thank my frnds and family enough ...they've always been there .... whn i was on less than 3 hours and barely a meal a day they were alwasy there for me ... and lots of prayers help too ...so yeah ... my advice would be to not give up and just keep at it ... cuz life ... it goes on

Sometimes you think things can't get any worse, but when that happens, they can only get better insha Allah. Keep praying and ask Allah for help and sabr, may Allah do for you what is better for you.

Re: share everyone...
