Would you consider yourself resilient?

[Ambivalent1]

?

 

[hag]

I used to be very resilient. Since I was about 65, less so. Some days, not at all.

 

[leftdreaming]

Resilient? No, just a procrastinator.

 

[Zegers]

I used to be but enough is enough.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I don't know. As me that on the day I CTB.

Your screen name is funny

 

[LaVieEnRose]

Yes and I'm tired of being showing tenacity or resilience or strength of whatever feel-good word and not having it bear a single fruit.

 

[Death is my goal]

no

 

[Forever Sleep]

In some ways, yes. I guess to an extent- everyone on here is still alive despite wanting to be dead- so- maybe we're all resilient to an extent. I've had ideation for 33 years to varying degrees.

I also have the habit of taking on very difficult work things to do. They certainly require resilience to finish- although, it's stupidity that leads me into these situations time and time again.

That said, I probably purposely don't challenge myself socially. Especially not now. So- I deliberately try to avoid situations which I will need the most resilience to survive. How about you?

 

[Das Nichts]

If there is purpose then I can be very resilient also with a very high level of energy. If it's prolonged thing
and there is no significant improvement I get frustrated.

Currently I'm the horse without the stick and carrot so instead of moving forward I stand still and thinking about
dying.

 

[l0stc4use]

honestly yes because the things i've gone through should've made me die already but i'm still here.

 

[FuneralCry]

Absolutely not, I could certainly never be meant for existing at all, I very easily get tired of this futile and meaningless process of slowly dying. There is no value to suffering endlessly but of course I continue to stay here as one has no choice if they don't find a way to free themselves.

 

[The anhedonic one]

Yes. And I hate myself for it.

 

[betternever2havbeen]

I would usually say hell no, but then I often wonder how someone else would've coped in my shoes. I always say "anyone else would've killed themselves years ago if they had to be me" but it's hard to get perspective on something like that.

 

[SexyIncél]

Antifragile, baby!

 

[woh6]

Don't know how to answer. On one side I've made it through many difficult things and the fact I'm still alive makes me feel like I am. But on the other side, I'm so worn out I can't get through the littlest of things now.

 

[soft-flower345]

I used to be, trauma and abuse chipped away at my resilience over the years growing up and I became progressively colder and numb to the idea of being alive. At 23 I feel completely empty and hollow inside after spending my developing years just trying to survive.

I think it's true that people on this forum are a lot stronger than the so-called normal people.

Me too. Abused from age 6. I guess we just gradually shut down. Our brains go into some kind of standby mode to protect themselves.

 

[PurpleParadigm]

No, I'm simply very stubborn. If I were resilient I probably wouldn't want to die so much.

 

[telro]

No, I think I'm rather weak in this regard. I think that most of the population, if they saw the world through my eyes, would not be as suicidal as I am. But I guess the mental pain tolerance is different for everybody and I feel like I've reached my limit. I just can't take it anymore

 

[hellispink]

There are limits for everhthing. Even for being resilient. There id a fine line there cause sometimes resilient can be something else such as a person unable to accept their destiny or their own fear. Some people are strong and they hold . But others mask it by living in a bubble in full denial of the world collapsing to their feet

 

[BrutalWorldNot4me]

Very, but I'm reaching my limit. A person only has so much fuel to live with a chronic illness before it takes them fully out. Its been a rough 6 months and probably won't live to see my next birthday. Oh well.
