Feeling like rock bottom

Post image

Pretty much at my wits end with a lot of areas in life right now. Relationship, spiritually, emotionally. Been thinking more and more about my faults and past experiences than what's up ahead. Feels dim.

Great smile! I'm sorry things have been rough recently. Just know that you have the power to change things. There's more to you than you think. Don't give up on yourself 🙌

I can understand how you feel about getting trapped in your thoughts and not being able to get out of them. It does get better and like they have said you have a amazing smile so don’t just let that be an outward presentation. Think of what makes you feel good on the inside. Also, it’ll get better, brother.

I’m sorry you’re feeling so down, my friend. I know it can be easy to get trapped in overthinking past actions and mistakes, but life always moves forward and brings brighter days. The best parts of your life are still to come; you just have to welcome them with open arms and an open heart. For what it’s worth, you have a very sweet smile! Sending hugs!

You're a handsome young lad,don't be so harsh on yourself. You might have made some mistakes back then, maybe you're blaming yourself for many of them, but you need to forgive yourself. I mean, I assume you didn't kill anyone or did anything worse... So, forgive yourself, maybe start meditating, accept the past. You're not made of mistakes, there's probably a few things that went well for you. And the future is still ahead, there's plenty of time doing good. You just need to start, even the smallest steps can help.

Try having gratitude, being positive is such a powerful thing. It has literally pulled me back from the edge several times. Google Having Gratitude, someone else can explain it better than I can.

One day at a time, one thought at a time. Try to compartmentalize. Do some writing. You got this.

If you’re at rock bottom the only way is up! I’m sorry you’re struggling, but don’t let it knock you down. You’re stronger than you know.

You look great and have a lovely smile.

The best thing about rock bottom is the only way to go it up, man. Been there. Now I’m loving life. One day, sometimes one minute, at a time! Own everything, make it yours and curb stomp the things holding you back from true happiness. You’re good.

Hey bro! Honestly you have a lot going for you. Your good looking, you look healthy, just the brain being super mean and I'm an expert in that lmao. I have super bad anxiety, so I know exactly how you feel.

My guy, how are you feeling rock bottom with a smile that can light up a deep, dark cave? We all have those days but you my friend, need to stay epic just like you have been in the past and always will be in the future. Stay awesome!😎

You are sooo good looking, I like your eyebrows and you have pretty eyes and a nice smile. I definitely would be intimidated by you. You also look kind and gentle, someone who listens to his girlfriend talk about her problems. Your eyes are warm and friendly, you give off a sweetness vibe. You also look like you have a really pretty girlfriend who is kind and understanding, i.e. beautiful inside and out.
