The phrase "made the best of" implies making something good out of a difficult situation. Antonyms, on the other hand, would describe ways of responding to that situation negatively. Some antonyms might include "wallowed in," "gave up," or "ignored." When we wallow in a difficult situation, we focus on the negative aspects and can't see any way out of it. If we give up, we don't make any effort to try to make the situation better. Ignoring a problem does nothing to solve it and can make it worse. Instead of looking for antonyms, it's always best to focus on finding solutions to make the situation better.
