Have you ever had something completely derail all aspects of your life? How did you overcome?

Recently, I had a a significant mental health crisis that has left most of my life in shambles. Nothing has been left untouched. This includes my social life, financial standing, physical well-being, and even brought legal consequences.

I went from having a relatively stable life, to everything crashing down.

I was going to college on an Air Force ROTC scholarship. After freshman year you were required to have basic training during the summer. They had some tests you had to undergo and I could not pass the color threshold test. They gave it ti me three times and I could not pass it. I was dropped from the program and lost the scholarship. I had money to go back to college for one more semester but had to drop out after that. It really sucked.
I went to a different college and had some kind of work study program. Eventually I fell behind on tuition and had to drop out again.
I worked a crappy sales job and went to college at night to finish my degree. It took forever going part time but I finally graduated. The next fall I started grad school and got my Masters degree in Computer Science and went into the IT field. I was almost 40 years old before I was settled in a good paying job.

Yes! About 5 years ago, my ex-sisters fucked me out of my house against mom's dying wishes and I not only lost my house that I'd lived in my entire life but most of my possessions and collectibles as well as LOADS of irreplaceable personal items: dozens of songs I wrote, pictures, an audio recording I made with my dad when I was about 5 years old, my journal, clothes, newspaper's that I contributed to, loads of my bands memorabilia, books, toys and games I was HOPING to pass down to my kids, if I ever have any.
I don't know if I'll EVER get over that one!!
