What was the darkest time in your life?




After waking up from being drunk, and my family was gone, and never returned.

whoa dude, I'm sorry for your problems but you're a bit depressing, concentrate on the good stuff in life!

Not sure about the darkest but the worst was watching my step dad die in front of me and there was not a damn thing I could do about it. That still haunts me to this day

When I was going through my divorce and my son was like 3 1/2..and was time to take him back to his mother's. He did not want to go, and his mother had to carry him away from me..and he kept crying "daddy, daddy!! I don't want to go!"

You could have ripped my heart out with a spoon and threw battery acid in...would have been a hell of a lot less painful.

After a car accident (when I was 17) that was my fault, I rode in the ambulance with a mother and daughter that were in another car that I had hit.
It really changed my life , but at that moment I felt like the biggest jackass in the world. That moment resinates a sense of care in my driving to this very day.
I ended up getting sued for $140,000 which my insurance covered, I was glad that they received the money.
In the end though, I wonder if it is enough to have to deal with whiplash for the rest of your life.

what a fun thread.

Everything is just so rosy in life.

Therefore making it the darkest hour in my life.

Here's to Daddy ( )

you choose what you focus on..the good or the bad. Wallowing gets old.

On the days when I am feeling down, and yeah I think everyone has those days, I like to think about a summer day and a cool breeze all the while; looking up to the building tops where the clouds slowly saunter by. It cheers me up alot.
Man I hate winter.

I gave mouth to mouth to my six year old stepson for 25 minutes waiting for the ambulance. His color was back but he was already gone. He was 2 weeks from his 7th birthday.

Man ,that is heartbreaking.

i know that i mentioned this in a post before,but my darkest time in my life was when the late great..peter burns..died on his honda c.b 750..

he was always the kind that one would know that this is how he would meet his end,if ever....

he will always be missed

Sorry, but thank you for sharing

can I ask what people get out of focusing on all this? do you enjoy depressing yourselves? I am trying to understand the point of it.

Hmmm, not sure, but I don;t think this post was about "wallowing"..if it was, mine should not be included. Was just reflecting on the question. Is ok to look back at both the bad and the good at times. Some people only live in the past even just the good..not a good thing to focus on anything in the past..bad or good. But it's ok to reflect and think for a short time..that's normal and healthy.

It's not depressing me, I actually feel a little bit better about saying my peice.
Sometimes venting can be good,no?

The point is its a real part of peoples life. Thank God you have a perfect one. Sometimes sharing helps other people cope with tough things in their life
