Sorry, springmeans, but no such phrase springs to mind. One term I know is 'a lost soul', but it doesn't have the kind of graphic image yours has. Perhaps another member will know one.

I would say "the Slough of Despond"
This is the definition offered by Longman:
"a situation in which you are very unhappy and there seems to be no hope that things will improve. The expression comes from the name of a place in the book The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan."
