Tarot Cards: Ten of Swords Qualities

Bottoming out 
       having nowhere to go but up
       knowing it's darkest before the dawn
       being at the lowest point
       feeling things can't get worse
       preparing for an upturn
       reaching the pits 

Feeling like a victim 
       bemoaning your fate
       feeling powerless
       seeing life as hostile
       suffering from an attack
       wondering "Why me?"
       feeling self-pity
       being on the receiving end 

Being a martyr 
       putting your own interests last
       being self-deprecating
       feeling like a doormat
       taking a back seat
       letting others go first
       sacrificing
