Are you a strong person?

[Shawn]

After reading this thread, it really makes me wonder how a person could be that strong. If I was in that situation I know I would not have the strength to survive. There are also many other people in the world who are suffering and yet they find the strength to survive. But me, I couldn't live with something that was debilitating. I admit to being weak but I wonder how people can be so strong. Is it possible to become a stronger person and are the people who have these things happen to them (and choose to survive )already strong to begin with or do they become strong over time?

I don't think they have a choice. I have friends who are going through something similar.

Much stronger than me, that's for sure.

No, not a choice in their situation... but in how they deal with it. And she definitely is handling it better than i would. I seriously doubt i could continue to live if i was in such a state... and if i did, i would probably be so depressed. But not her. She has her moments, but she seems overall happy and optimistic. It really does amaze me how strong she is.

Agreed. I pray for her well-being.

I've lived through a fire before with 3rd degree burns to boot. You can do it.

 

[Dacalo]

i dont know, difficult to say unless facing that scenario.

i admire that girl for staying strong...

 

[Excelsior]

Not that strong at all. Our school played this on the morning announcments (they made a video out of it). Everyone in the class was silent. If something like that happened to be Id either be
A) Extremely depressed, AKA, never want to leave my room.
B) Kill myself.

 

[Excelsior]

Whoops.
