How long did the worst part of your life last? Weeks, Months, Years?

December-March probably of this year. Going through a breakup with someone I loved. Got the "maybe we will get back together" which I realize now is selfish as hell. Really messed with my head and hurt. My mom got diagnosed with a brain tumour the size of a turnip and lost the ability to even dress herself. She lost her job, her friends (they didn't know what was wrong) and I lost my mother. We didn't know if she would make it. Then had a fianancial crisis in the family, thought we would have to remortgage the house. Parents fought, talked about divorcing. My university refused to give me any academic support so I couldn't pay to go to university so I thought I'd had to drop out but I didn't have a job and truth be told, I could barely function myself. My friends completely did not understand and didn't get what it was like to have a sick parent. My ex completely just abandoned me. Whatever, better off without him I guess and finally to top it off, ran out of money and couldn't even feed myself anymore or pay rent (I had a lot of savings but it went to university). Good times.
