[...] And then there’s Cath Lawson. Cath is another one of my faves, even though her writing style is totally opposite Robert’s. I would describe her as in-your-face: feisty, abrupt, brutally honest, sometimes confrontational, always provocative. [...]

well i have messed up a lot in my life. i just have to say on here since i feel like i cant say it at home, that i dont like my life. i dont like my relationship im in, or my living situation. i suffer from PTSD. no one around me understands. I also have bad anxiety and panick attacks. so everyone just thinks im a crazy person and really i just want to be heard. in september 2009 my house burnt down and my daughter, boyfriend, and i lost everything. my already crappy relationship got worse. my dad died the same week of the fire. then my car that id had for three years was repossessed. i quit nursing school in december 2009. i am not trying to get back into school. i just want a good life for my daughter and i. i feel trapped.

I’ve read many of the comments, but not all of them. Most of them are motivating.

But, has anyone mentioned the fact that once you’ve hit rock bottom you no longer have the security nor the resources necessary to help you bounce back? How do you follow your dreams when you have nothing to drive them?

I believe this is a very important point that many people neglected to mention.

I didn’t realise so many people had commented on this article this year. If you were one of them – I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get back to you in time and I hope your lives are much better now.

Ricardo – That sounds like a great motivator. It’s definitely easier to try to move towards what you want, rather than escape from what you don’t want.

Thanks Ken – It sucks that you’ve been through such a hard time. As you say – you get so used to how things are that you don’t see the shit flying round the corner.

But that doesn’t make you a loser. You’ve just had a hard learning experience. And I hope you manage to use what you’ve learned to help you bounce back again.

First off, I really like your opening quote: “Success Is How High You Bounce When You Hit Rock Bottom” George Patton Secondly, yes I've felt like I've hit bottom or at least was in danger of hitting bottom. Not sure what motivated me to bounce back. I was always told: "Never settle for anything less than the best in life." Somehow that's always motivated me. The desire for more in life pushes me daily.

[...] Cath Lawson says: Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom before you can improve your life and begin to achieve your dreams. This may sound like madness. Surely most sane people wouldn’t want to wait until they’re in a heap of trouble before they try to improve their lives right? [...]
