If you have passed the lowest or most difficult period in your life, how long did it last? Did it last longer than, shorter than, or as long as you had expected?

How Long Did Your Lowest Point Last?

My daughter died twenty-one years ago. It was gut wrenching ... for years.
I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Likewise. I'm sorry you and your family had to endure that. The hardest thing a person can go through is losing a child.
I didn't expect it
I don't know how long it lasted
I don't like to think about it
I won't talk about it
Perfectly understandable.

It took me about a couple of decades actually to work myself out of chronic depression and suicidal thoughts and one attempt that obviously failed.
I'm glad it failed.
In my last term in grad school, I'd lost
interest in my courses. I wanted out.
That lasted about a month.
It seems that I've been living a charmed
life if that's the worst I've endured, eh.
Of course there have been challenges,
but those are just things to overcome.

That's good. It benefits no one for anyone else to experience unnecessary struggle.

Yep my thoughts however, if that had worked, .. Que Sera Sera.
I did learn a few things however from the experience, and that is you never know what's going to come around the corner. It may come, or it may never come, but you will never know if you don't stick around to see the result one-way or another.
I essentially had learned the art of biding one's time and understanding that's it's normal to feel depressed, not abnormal as if it shouldn't be there so I learned to live with it and it mellowed out the sting.
Hmmm... Not sure. The last 18 years have kind of sucked, ngl. And these past 5 months have been pretty miserable too.
Maybe things will smooth out. Maybe not. I've kinda learned to live with the chaos.

I edited my post to mention struggles.
But those are merely taxing & stressful;
not being brought low.

You have my wishes that they smooth out, for what that's worth!
To be honest, one of the lowest and most difficult periods in my life has been October 7th and its aftermath. I feel imprisoned in the tragedy, and by despair it evokes. I struggle to deal with it.
There is a reason I have only made a highly measured and focused amount of posts about the ensuing war.
You are not alone.
About 14 years ago i got myself into a bad situation that i couldn't get out of, threats to family held me. It went on for about 6 months, i ended up considering suicide to escape.
Luckily a friend had seen the change in me, he dug me out of the mess.
For the nightmares I've had therapy but even now 14 years later i still have occasional nightmare from which i wake in hot sweat and screaming.
Though i joined survivors circle with the thought of getting it out there, I've twice tried to document it but i found i am not ready to publicly discuss the situation. Maybe one day.

Covid lockdown began a long and painful process of adhd and autism diagnosis, depression, unmasking and treatment. It's still ongoing but I've had to change a lot about how much stress I let in my life, how I respond to stressful situations when it arises.
