Multiple times. My stories aren't very interesting, so I'll spare you the details, but I will say this: things always get better. When things are tough, hang in there, and be sure to talk to people about it. These are also the times when you learn which people are actually your friends.

Yep. I tried to dump my shit on my someone close and I think it had a negative effect on the relationship. Other people turned out to be better for that. You really don't know who you can or can't count on until you try.

I understand that you are trying to be comforting and all that, but sadly things do not always get better.

Fair enough, I'm speaking based on my experiences and that of people I've known.

One big event for me. Again, not interesting. If I described it, it might not even seem like a big deal to the reader. Things got better though.
