friends help: What has been the biggest problem that you have overcome? - Help.com

Chronic shyness,(never leaving home, except for work and school), I’m still a bit shy, but not as bad as I was.

biggest thing I need to overcome is to try not to spend so much time on help.com.
I’m not getting any other work done. I’m going to starve to death.just kidding.

I got pregnant but i did not want to marry. So my parents and his (the guy’s) went totally mad. I knew i had to stand on the decision because i knew marriage is not the answer.

So the greatest obstacle in my life was to live on my own for nine months. I secretly contacted my friends and they helped me out such as going to the doctor and stuff. I managed to do everything on my own. I was pregnant, broke and alone.

But i stood with my decision until my son is born. Now he is a happy six years old kid. And i don’t regret my decision as it was the most important thing i made in my life.

I got through clinical depression, serious physical illness, an abusive relationship and social anxiety.

I think if you are determined enough, you will be strong enough to overcome anything. It was touch and go with the mental and physical illness… but, I’m still here and although i have another very stressful period of my life coming up, I’m surviving quite nicely really. With depression… I needed help to give me the strength and determination to believe in myself. But once you believe in yourself I truly believe you can get through almost anything.

I think it’s a great post, just want to say thanks for posting.

The biggest thing I had to overcome was my mom having Breast cancer and getting one of her breast taking off…i have not fully over come in yet thats why this post is anonymous…I only told 5 people in my whoooolle life… I think thats all im telling besides you guys but you dont know who i am so…lol

Finally having the courage to walk away from my family who were emotionally and physically abusive which resultd in a breakdown that put me in a psychiatric hospital.

Having all these problems encountered and survived from, i hope things work for all of us. Big hugs!

Im not going to go into details. But High School was my biggest hurdle.

I think over coming my ex

thank you, naina.

I went to China with my mum, for one monthe, and when we came back, my dad had gotten paralized while lying in bed. He had been stuck there for more than a week, and there were tiny white worms digging away at his legs. That’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen, and I had to go to therapy to get over it.

wow, that’s horrible.

I finally got out of my parents house even tho i was kicked out…its better than being stuck there trying to kill myself. life is a lot better than it was. its still a lil crappy but a lot better than what it was.

I’m still overcoming my biggest problem, but I know I’ll pull through.

my mam died when i was 17. that was a big thing for me!!

I dropped out of 6th grad due to depression…I had an alcoholic, abusive father which contributed to it. I’ve been on every medication imaginable, and have had several hospitalizations. One med caused a heart condition I have to this day…one caused a significant weight gain(which I’ve lost, thats an accomplisment)….I’ve been dirt poor..I’ve been rich…My first major boyfriend died in a car accident…I’ve had to pull strength out of nowhere to make changes and get out of situations…I’ve quit smoking for good…I’ve come a long ways from where I started…sometimes I need to remind myself of that..

I accidentially burnt down the church building that my father pastored. Our church’s first real church building after 15 years of meeting in a store front. Thats when my dad lost his faith and today, because of it, my parents are separated (and getting a divorce), my dad no longer preaches because he was fired after apparently “attempting suicide” and my mom leaving him. Its taken me a long time to get over the guilt for all of this being my fault but today i think i might be half way there… sometimes i wish i hadnt flipped that switch that started the electrical fire but looking back i think… Hey, thats life. You flip the wrong switch and everything you hold dear gets taken away… but its not my fault.. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.. or perhaps the right place at the right time… I wouldnt be the person I am today if it hadn’t been for that terrible night. (The teens were having a lock-in at the church and i woke up to one of the younger kids screaming the church is on fire I came out and saw flames at the back of the sanctuary.) But I like who I am today, I just have to learn to overcome the feeling of guilt for being a tool of the universe in a very unfortunate situation… I cant change it and it was perhaps just fate that someone left me alone in the kitchen to turn on the light. I couldnt find the switch and one didnt work so i assumed the breaker blew… I went to the breaker and tried to flip a switch that i thought might work and it sparked.. 2 hours later the place was in flames. I’m such a ditz. But HEY! It was an old building and they told me that that would have happened sooner or later because of faulty and out of date electrical wiring or something….

stage fright

nah it was the straw that broke the camels back for him but he didnt actually lose his faith.. but he did stop preaching 3 years later.

when i was 15 i was raped and abused by my first boyfriend who was 19, i was beaten by my dad on several occasions, when my dad left my mum was really depressed so i had to drop out of school to look after my little brother. my grandmother had breast cancer (but she`s doing really good now) and i used to self harm. but i overcame all that. i took a look at one problem at a time and got over them. because im strong. just like everybody else here :)

oh im great now. its all in the past and we gotta look forward to the future :) did u overcome these problems by urself??

My problem’s been posted. Any advice is appreciated.

Myself.

the biggest thing i’ve had to overcome was finding out i had cancer and a 4month miscariage in the same year. i lost it for awhile. i spent a lot of time with God and prayer.i cried a lot too. got involed at my job, and helping at a homeless shelter.

The biggest thing I had to overcome was getting what they say sexually asaulted by my brother when I was 6. Socail Workers and police convinced me they already kenw about it (they had no freaken idea!!!) I love my brother even if it was wrong and it creeped the **** out of me I forgave him. Social workers and police hate him and think he is a criminal. HE WAS 12 AT THE TIME. now he is 19 and im not allowed to se him. cuz he might do it again!(bs)why cant people get over things like that? i did. i thought of it as just a nightmare. except i cant really eat hot dogs anymore lol just the bun.
