Lowest point: October 2017 - February 2018

- Girlfriend randomly broke up with and ghosted me
- Blood clot in my leg (on my birthday!) made me discover massive vein issues that required emergency surgery which made me unable to walk for 3 months
- Got laid off from my job
- Had to leave my awesome apartment and move back home
- Not being able to exercise + depression over this situation = weight gain

Highest point: May 2018 - Present

- Finally recovered from leg surgery and have two healthy legs
- Immediately started dieting and exercising and lost all that extra weight
- Got a better job at my same company I got laid off from when I recovered (they had just stopped doing Auto business and I was in the Auto department)
- Got promoted to supervisor of that department
- The new paycheck combined with money saved living with my parents allowed me to buy my first house
- Now have a new, way better girlfriend

Its hard to choose, my entire life has been awful. I suppose if I were forced to choose though, liwest would be a few years ago when I started therapy. I was in a really bad place mentally at the time. I was honest about what I wanted from life, and told my therapist that my ultimate goal in life was to become a father. He told me I shouldn't have children, because he thinks I'd be a horrible father and abuse them like my father did me. That pushed me over the edge, and I prepared everything I needed to end my life. I had everything set up and was preparing to do it, but I decided it might be worth it to try medication and talk this through with him instead. When I told him what I was going to do, he responded by saying that based on my situation he could see why I would want to, and never brought it up again... That whole period of my life was even more miserable and confusing than the rest. I know I need to try therapy again, but after him, I don't know if I can.

Highest is also tough, because there hasnt been anything good in my life either. I guess graduating high school would be it, just because I despised being around my classmates.

Its not a competition, your personal lowest point doesnt have to end in suicide to be credible.

Also not everyone who deals with some shit kills themselves.

Lowest - Fresh out of college in my early 20s. Moved back home with parents, got a soul crushing job in a greenhouse.
Tied with
2 years to 1 year ago, had a job for 5 or 6 years that started out amazing, but turned pretty bad as the company grew fast and the leaders stopped caring to lead.

Highest - The first few years of the aforementioned job, as well as last year when I quit up to right now. This point in my life is the very highest point of living I've had right now.

Seriously, what an asshole. Don't let him poison therapy for you. He was obviously terrible at his job and often times you have to try a few therapists before you find one that you click with.

Definitely this, didn't have a great time right out of college.

Highest point is probably the last few years. Wife and I are doing well financially, she just paid off her student loans, we moved out of CA so we can now afford a good house, and overall just getting more happy as years go by.

This sounds way more like how he would misinterpreted something the doctor said. Not to be a dick but all Koga knows is self deprecation so anything said to him probably gets twisted into something where the person is attacking him directly.

Yeah not being mean to Koga, especially since I do like the dude, but the therapist maybe was just trying to be super direct. Like "it is common for formerly abused children to repeat their parents' pattern, would you be able to break the cycle? If not maybe children aren't for you."

I'm of the opinion that brutal truths are better than pleasant lies. It's real fucking hard to accept in practice though.

Highest point:

January 2017-March 2017
- We just bought a beautiful house
- We both had steady jobs with solid income
- We had a great sex life and I felt super close to my husband. I was feeling really happy and fantasizing about us growing old together
- We just started to work on having a baby together. We thought the house was the perfect time and even picked out a baby room

Lowest point: April 2017- Present
- I found out my husband was sexting another woman and was frequenting strip clubs while at lunch at work. No sign of actual physical cheating (i went through all his shit and our bank statements, the other woman he was sexting was clearly not interested) and he denies it entirely. But it crushed me. We started marriage counseling for about a year to work on things.
- Started experiencing intense neurological pain in my head and neck. It took about a year to find a doctor who could diagnose me with occipital neuralgia and several more months to start treatment. It came back last July with a vengeance and I suffered incredible pain for 3 months before treatment was complete.
- My husband lost his job last August. He hasnt been able to find anything else yet. So Im the sole earner and were living paycheck to paycheck. With everything else going on, I still have to perform well at work or were fucked
- I found out last February that Im infertile and would need IVF treatment due to our age. 2 weeks later I got pregnant but miscarried almost days later.
- Went through IVF transfer last month. It failed

Yeah, that's all I mean. I got nothing against Koga either. I actually had an adult councilor ask me if I wanted him to be more direct or take it easy lol. But by "more direct" he definitely didn't mean "Ill tell you you'll be garbage at stuff". I stopped seeing him after like 3 sessions cause summer came around and I just naturally started feeling better.

I know everyone thinks I'm just a liar, and twist everything to be worse than it is, but that's not the case. That's literally what he said to me, no interpretation or twisting going on there. The dude was just an asshole. Those may not be his exact words, since it did happen like 3 years ago, but he flat out told me I shouldn't have children because I would just abuse them myself. That's not all he said either, he lots of things that a professional probably shouldn't have. I don't mind people being direct, or dealing with harsh truths, but that's not what he was doing. Not that it matters, you guys already decided I'm wrong.

Lowest: From 16 to like 20/21. Started going through my mental health problems, did not know how to deal with them. Attempted suicide few times, hospitalized, got addicted, kept fucking up in school. Finally did an intensive outpatient and it kinda set me back on track.

Highest: Honestly? Prolly this year. I'm finally transferring with an AA so I've made progress on my education. Going through a personality change and discovering a new me. Its bizarre because my moods have been cycling like mad crazy, most I've ever had in a year and longest manic episode. I capitalize on them and broke a years old writer's block. Really starting to embrace myself and live in the moment.
