I've been going through a rough 5 years with career challenges (some of which are my fault and others were out of my control) and also personal loss. Lots of very close family keep dying unexpectedly around me and I'm about to lose my last grandparent after another layoff. There are a bunch of micro setbacks that came up along the way but the theme is that im giving 110% just to tread water.
I'm determined not to drown in sorrow this time so I wanted to hear how some of you got through times where it felt like no matter how much you improved, life kept kicking you down.
