RE: Hitting Rock Bottom

I still remember that in 2021, I reached what I would consider my lowest point. Our restobar was closed due to the pandemic, I was jobless, and no matter how hard I tried to apply for jobs, I couldn’t get hired. I felt overwhelmed and deeply affected by depression.

During that time, my strongest coping tools were prayer and seeking silence. I found that in quiet moments, I was able to reflect more clearly and slowly find answers to the many questions I had while I was struggling.

I’m also grateful to Hive, as it became one of the ways I earned money back then, and it played a big part in helping me slowly get back on my feet and start feeling okay again.
