Tell me about a challenge in your life and how you overcame it....

Getting through high school.

I pretty much got through it by assuring and reassuring myself that things would get better once i graduated.

It didn't lol. At least i graduated though, for what it's worth.

I "cured" my social anxiety by finding work in customer service.

Ahhh... graduating is an achievement so worth it...

Wow... that's pretty awesome to have managed that...

Yeah, I guess so. I wrote about this in anorher couple of threads. In short, I was unemployed at the time and this was the only job available. So it wasn't really my decision. I was pushed by my parents to find a job immidiatelly, so I had to. The first couple of months I was a sweating and shaking wreck, but things settled down after a while.
It really did help me not to be scared of large crowds but it didn't do nothing as far as my sense of inadequacy. I still feel like I don't belong, but at least I don't act like a caged animal anymore.

I was in a terrible situation where I lived and had to leave immediately and without any place else to go, fled at midnight to a stranger's house who I had chatted with twice on the internet. I was scared to death but decided even if he ended up raping and killing me, it was better than staying where I was. It turned out it was the best thing I could have done.

There was a guy who wanted to fuck me, so I said, "I don't get fucked, but I really like you, so I'll let you do me after I do you." I proceeded to fuck him, came, told him I was a manipulative liar & left. Challenge overcummed.

I woke up this morning with both the knowledge, and the full means to end myself, but managed to push another day. Win or loss? Still undecided.

I've never been the best at overcoming challenges. I cannot think of a recent example, but back when I was in education, I managed to complete all my exams despite really struggling with it all and it making me ill. I nearly wasn't able to do that. I think back then I had more energy, I wouldn't be able to do anything of the sort now.

College was a bit difficult, I guess.
