be at rock bottom

1. To be at the lowest point or position possible. The price of milk is at rock bottom right now, which is great for consumers, but bad for dairy farmers. The company's stock has been at rock bottom for months since its initial public offering, signaling a lack of faith in investors. Interest in the once-popular social media app seems to be at rock bottom right now—it's practically hemorrhaging users.

2. To be at the absolute worst point (of one's life, career, etc.). It was when I missed my son's birthday party because I was hungover that I knew I was at rock bottom and needed professional help. The film is about a washed-up pop star who realizes he is at rock bottom after his former manager swindles him out of all his money. My brother refused to try that line of treatment until he was at absolute rock bottom.
