I think this thread can be a great way to boost morale or mindset for those going through tough times or to learn from.
When did you hit rock bottom and how did you recover?
Rock bottom for me was being homeless and trying to start a business. Looking back it was silly but I had more drive than I do now, oddly. I recovered by: Minimizing living costs while getting a new job, then letting go of my ego, moving back in with family and building back up before going out again. Granted I was in my mid 20s but yeah.
Long story short, I tried to take a shortcut and it didn't work.
What about you guys?
