What makes you strong?

We all have something. In recent years I have had to hide my weakness to be strong for others, it’s mentally exhausting but I feel like I have no choice.

My belief in God. 🙏😊😊😊

If it’s prolonged, and goes on for years/decades, you’ll burn out so bad, you’ll never recover from it, and never be the same.

@Carissimi I can believe it, but not sure what choice I have..
Carissimi · 70-79, F
I felt the same way. I suppose I had a choice to walk away from it all, but then I couldn’t live with myself, and had no idea where I would go, or what I would do, so I stayed with it, until released by circumstances, and by then I had lost a large part of myself. I recovered somewhat, and that took years, but I was never the same again. You do what you can live with, even when it’s hell for you, and destroying you. Sometimes the choice is one bad choice and another bad choice. I suppose the bad choice you know is better than the bad choice that is unknown to you. Familiarity accounts for a lot, even in a bad situation. Peace and love to you. @DHggmu
Well I hope u find the best circle of friends where you don't have to hide something in urself or at least be comfortable enough to tell the things that's keeping you back

@AileeLucas I agree, as this is advice I give to others too, but it seems I’m not good at taking my own advice
@DHggmu same but try it for a week and trust me you'll be shock how many people would be offended or just alarmed
DHggmu · 31-35, M
@AileeLucas Yeah not sure if that’s worth the drama haha

I think it's the scale I know I can be utterly soft and gentle and equally fierce and demanding. I feel strong in my ability to navigate the scale whenever needed. Of course I'm still learning..

@elafina You have the ability to adapt to how you need to be, when you need to, that is true strength and rare. Your close ones are fortunate :)
I am done being strong
@DHggmu there's no right or wrong my dear friend,it's always your right/wrong and my right/wrong.

And I have sorted my life so well that I don't have to be strong anymore. So I am just going to enjoy the fruits of being strong for so long 😁

@SimplyLogicalDiscipline I can only hope the same happens for others who have to be strong for so long :) certainly sounds nice!
@DHggmu I hope the same
I’ve come to realize lately that I’m incredibly weak myself. The Lord is my strength.

@Colonelmustardseed I’m not a religious person but respect everyone’s choice, but I think everyone has a strength in them wether they realise it or not.
@DHggmu What I’m going through has shown me the extent of my strength. It didn’t get me far.
DHggmu · 31-35, M
@Colonelmustardseed I’m sorry to hear, but it got you this far. I understand that sometimes things feel like they can’t get better, but they can, eventually. And you’ll feel stronger for it when it does.

Admitting it though, it's empowering.

But, yeah.

I understand.
