When is there a time where hardship made you stronger?
Hi Everyone ❤️ ! Today’s discussion is on hardships. Sometimes we go through hardships in life, and sometimes these hardships can make us stronger.
- When is there a time where a hardship you faced made you stronger?
- When is there a time when a hardship you faced was more than you could handle alone, that you needed to have help with?
For me, there are a lot of times when hardships made me stronger. I believe that hardships can make me stronger whenever I learn something in life.
For example, a hardship that was something more than I could handle, and I needed help with was when I lost money from getting scammed. This was tough because the money I lost had a huge impact on my living situation. I couldn’t face this alone, so I had my parents help me. This hardship made me stronger because now I know how not to get scammed and utilize my money for more beneficial things.
What about you guys? I Would love to hear what you all have to say 😊

@Desmynn6789 the biggest challenges for me have been when relationships end or fade away. I have learned how to be more self reliant.
When I needed more help dealing with that, I reached out for therapy and it was really helpful.
Hi @soulsings, Fading relationships can definitely take a toll on a person. I have also struggled with fading relationships in the past, so I understand where your coming from. However, I am glad that you have learned to be self-reliant. Self-reliance is a necessary skill to have in the world because there will be times when you have to rely on yourself. Additionally, I am glad that you went to therapy because having that support can really help us recover. I love your post, and I thank you for your participation❤️

Hello @MinisterMichelle, I can only imagine how tough it was to lose your sister and mother. I am sorry for your loss, and I hope you are feeling okay. Additionally, I think it is great that your sister's death has made you stronger. I noticed that you said the death of your mother was a hardship that you needed help with, and I hope that you got the love and support you needed ❤️. I appreciate your post.

So so sorry to hear that you have been scammed Desmynn! I can't even imagine what a shock it must have been realizing you lost all that money in a scam, glad you had your parents to support you.

All the hardships I faced made me stronger. It wasn't easy at time but something that really helped me was to tell myself over and over again "It will get better, you just have to get through this one"

When I was badly bullied, my husband was ill and a fire threatened our house (all at same time) I needed someone to talk to and also got calming meds for a few days. It was just too much.
Today, I know that if I ever get in such a situation again I would reach out here and get help.
Hi @amiablePeace77, I'm sorry all of that has happened to you. I can only imagine how you felt when all of this happened, especially at the same time. I hope you had someone to talk to during this situation, as love and support can help you recover. I am glad that you will get help from others whenever something like this happens. I also will be open to talking as well whenever you need it❤️.

Thank you for your answer ❤️ It's some time ago but it showed me how important getting help can be.

Wow… This discussion sure hit home! I agree hardships in life can make us stronger, whether we choose to believe it or not. I have been through many in my lifetime. From homelessness, to not knowing where my next meal was coming from. But as the adage goes “ what doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger”.

I too was a victim of a scam, one that I learned a very hard lesson from. They too took every penny from my bank account. I live off my spouse’s death benefits from SS and they got everything! I was trying to make a little extra money for the holidays and it was a car wrap advert scam. Live and learn. It cost me my relationship with my mother in law, sister in law and nephew. They could understand how I could get involved in such a ridiculous situation. But it happened. It caused a toxic situation in the home and things became violent. Eventually, I committed my self voluntarily into a behavioral health facility because of my compulsory behavior.
Sometimes , unfortunately we have to learn lessons the hard way. I’m still not allowed to return back home as I am on journey to heal myself. This will take some time. I am so grateful to 7 cups and to the people and platforms here. No judgement, only kindness and compassion. Which God knows, we all need. Thank you for allowing me to share.❤️
@forcefulFriend4768 oh that sounds heart breaking. That must have felt so difficult to go through.
