What struggles did you face in your life?

What is a struggle or problem that you have faced and that you overcame?

I'm completely like dead right now. I can't think at all.. just need some things to spark me up.

So what are some problems that you have faced? How did you overcome it?

I...

thought about it.. but I just can't think of how I overcame my problems..
Ideas?

Molestation
Abuse
And I havnt gotten over it

I guess I could say suicidal thoughts. I slit my wrist(1) three years ago, but I know it wasnt to commit suicide, but I cant remember why I did it, but I do remember what pushed me to do it. but I'll never do it again. as bad as life can be, I know I always have someone I can talk to. someone I love and trust. a small white scar, a bump on my wrist that, thankfully, goes unnoticed. I have only told one person about it, and it was in the middle of their peril when they needed help and guidence. I was able to use my experience to guide them back into ... I cant think of the right word. I want to say sanity, but they were not crazy at all. hm, oh well, maybe later. sumagrl31 - I give you my support you poor thing. my heart goes out to you.

I got dumped.
I met someone new.
He's cute.
He doesn't like me like that I dont think,
But at least im not thinking about my ex.

Self injury. (7 days clean at the moment.)
Depression.
Suicidal thoughts.
Emotional Abuse.

I haven't overcome any of those.

I know that probably didn't help.
I just can't think of any that I have overcome.

Thankyou curly_cue

Thanks guys.. but this is for a personal essay.. and I've been sent to the counselors for writing stuff 'too emotional'
I suppose this can also be a struggle for me.. but not a good thing to write about at the momment.

Write about how someone got over living in a bad neighborhood and how they made something of their selfs and became a famos laywer or something

It's a personal essay, meaning ME.

Well, then we can't really help you.
Only you know about your struggles anough to write about them.

I know.. I'm just asking for ideas to spark up my memory...
cz I can't think right now...

Exactly.
We cant know what you have gone through.

when I was 4 or 5 I was takin from my family for a year or two and ended up living with someone whos even more abusive
I was sexually and physically abused by an old babysitter
to deal with these problems or any problems I've realized that pretending they never happened or just trying to forget about them helps

my family is running low on money and we're pretty much searching for loose change in our couches for money for a new house
My dad almost died
I can't stop thinking about disturbing things
People made fun of me because I was different
My back pain
I may have to get surgery
My best friend moved far away; I mean a couple of states away far
I can never sleep at night
I'm always hurting myself but I don't want to
I can't tell a lot of my friends some things because I don't want them to thing that I'm crazy...
And more. I can't get over it.

Eating disorder
Rape
Parents devorice
Dad moved across the country

Theres a lot of things I've been through but it has given me such a good outlook on life and really only made me a better person. I think that I'm in a way better place then I was a few years ago. I think bad things in life can really only make you a better person. I really hate people who complain about there lives because honestly most of the time it's pathetic what they are complaining about. anyways hope this helps

born with cleft palate
sick a lot when baby
always feeling not wanted
when mom was alive tried suicide
delt with moms threats
delt with grandmas ways[not nice btw]
and much more but these proably my worst
