Rock bottom to resilience

Rock bottom to resilience



15 years ago, I hit rock bottom. Chaos. Took a break from nursing school. Couldn’t think straight – just chest pain, headaches, panic, lost feeling. Felt being a loser in front of my parents.

The breaking point?
At the 5th semester, a clinical instructor tore into me at the nursing station for a full 20 minutes while everyone (nurses, doctors, fellow students) all watching. It was like a public execution.
I felt shameful, powerless, I can’t anymore.

Then one desperate night, I googled "meditation" and found an Osho talk.
One line stuck: "Be an observer. Watch the body. Let thoughts pass."
So I tried it. Watching mountains of emotions surfacing. It was overwhelming. I was lying on fetal position, excruciating sharp Chest pain – worst pain of my life, Can’t breathe.
But I kept watching. No energy to fight anyways. Not even hoping.

20 minutes later:
Silence.
Openness.
The first stillness I’d felt in years.
Turns out It’s about finally seeing yourself clearly – panic attacks, shame, and still not looking away.
The storm isn’t you.
You’re the One watching the storm.

Years later, I passed the Quebec Order nurse license exam.
I met that clinical teacher again. I thanked her.
That brutal experience was what instilled in me to gear all my patient care at its best, attention to detail, bedside manner with authentic presence.

That’s such a powerful story deeply human and Geometry Dash Lite incredibly moving. It’s a story of breaking down and rebuilding from the rawest place inside, and it could be truly meaningful to others who’ve been in that dark place, especially students under pressure or healthcare workers who carry so much invisible weight.
