Sometimes I have wondered how bad things must get in order for a situation to be considered the "worst possible situation." Putting any amount of thought into it tells me that it's completely relative, but - even so - how much can a person handle before he reaches that critical point where he can take no more? I hit my low point just over two years ago, but I was able to get out. I wasn't the cause of my bad times though. So it's also important to consider whether or not a person brings himself to his own low point or if he is brought to that point by circumstances he can't control. In either case, I think a person must act to get out. Even if it's hard or seems impossible, there's always some way to squeeze free. This escape may be hard to recognize and may not even be present at first, but it is never okay to give up.
