To me it was last year July. I was super overwhelmed and had no one for support. I started a new job, I had just adopted a Cat (whilst having never owned Pets), I had a Stomach and Intestines Rotavirus which started 1 week before my new Job and lasted exactly 4 weeks. This pain caused me to be very behind on chores and errands. I missed package deliveries, my entire kitchen sink was full of dirty dishes, all my clothes were dirty and I was doing a certification and was behind on material.

It got so bad that I almost had a panic attack on my 3rd day of work. And I had no friends, no family and no wife or girlfriend supporting me in this. But I took a deep breath and I did everything one step at a time. Eventually my life went back to normal and was sorted. But that made me realize, that at the lowest point in my life; all I really have is myself. No one will ever come to my rescue and tell me everything will be alright.

But I am grateful for that experience in a way. I mean I don’t wish this on anyone. But it made me a stronger person and when life hits that hard again, I will be prepared.
