    Do you think if you lost your family or everyone close to you would you cope, carrying on, go to work and try to get back to normal? If it happen to me I would miss them alot but I am adult and you have to keep going doing your best, it's want people close to you would want. What would you do, would you be able to be strong and carry on to try to get back to normal? or would it be unimaginable to think of life without them.

    I have done and I've lived to tell the tell. I was still devastated though but humans are natural survivors anyway...you surprise yourself how much you can handle when the shit goes down.

    Frank, it may be time to switch off the ould internet and go to bed. The beer ain't agreeing with you.

    I can lift a can of paint with my penis.

    But if I ever lost my twin I'd probably never be able to go on.

    When i was 11 atone in weight, 155 kg bench press and 242.5 kg dead lift.
    Now i'm a lot heavier and now half as strong...

    My emotional strength might be found in a bottle of Amarone.

    I'd drink myself into a stupor until it came time to kill myself. With all the people I love dead I wouldn't want to live. What kind of life is that?

    I'd be the complete opposite. As long as I were alive, they would live on in my heart. I would dedicate every moment to them.

    I've no idea. All i know is I'm not strong enough to do one handed push-ups. Which probably means I'm weakling :pac:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 444 ✭✭RainbowRose81


    Well if i couldn't bring them back which is impossible to bring people back from the dead then I would have no choice but to carry on but I would be devasted because I would miss them alot but I don't really need people to carry on as much as I would miss them but you have to keep going.

    psychologically built like a brick shit house

    physically, not so much now :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Babybuff


    not that strong, or at least not as strong as I used to be. Have had to deal with a lot of crap for a long time and it does get to a stage where you know you can't carry it anymore and for the most part I'm a fcuking heap on the inside and just about manage to get through most days. So no, I think if there were one more bundle of crap to deal with, if I lost that one particular someone close to me I would just call it quits.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    You can't know til it happens - I imagine I would not deal well with it at all. Possibly fall apart, breakdown territory. But... with support from friends and relatives, my doctor, a counsellor, meds if I was unwell enough... I think I might scrape through it.

    You do have to be strong when you've no other choice - and as Eve says, people are surprisingly resilient.

    This country's dust and mud have seen my tears and blood. Like everyone I have been through hard times. I know Im strong in hindsight but looking forward I often underestimate my ability to cope with things. We are all much stronger than we think we are.

    Last night I said to me trainer at the gym: "Put on more weights", he said "There are no more."

    Life sucks sometimes. But there's always someone worse off. You get on with it, it's hard but life is what you make it and can be pretty fucking fantastic if you allow it to be.

    Edit: oh and in answer to the actual question, I'm pretty strong


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    Everyone will experience the loss of someone they love at some point until it happens you have no idea how you will cope.
    If I lost all my immediate family I think it would be difficult to carry on, I am a strong person but we all have out limits.

    I went to see that movie 'The Help' and ended up crying. Should I kill myself?

    I just merge all my anger frustration hate and disappointments into what I like to call my internet laser beam............... works on a day to day basis, but I reckon 1000 frasier cranes at 1000 sessiones, would not even begin to write the opening monologue to the scottish play

    Physically-im a weakling :(
    Emotionally-experienced a good bit of crap when I was a teenager what with losses etc, and fell apart. Completely. But it's made me much stronger as a person now-I know I can handle pretty much anything that's thrown at me-albeit with a lil help from my friends I'm sure.
    What doesn't kill ya...

    Do you think if you lost your family or everyone close to you would you cope, carrying on, go to work and try to get back to normal?

    no I wouldn't cope.

    This caught my eye and I said to myself that i'll bypass this one but I came back to it here.

    friends and a brother and sister I have are all very close but if one of these gems died i would die within.

    well I can tell you that if i ever lost my best friend which might shock you of which is my mother, we are both computer repair nuts but my father is/was an evil bastard fcuk him but to get back to you're point, when this person dies I will be right after her with myself chained with a 12 foot stainless steel chain and lock comfortably attached to me and the car seat while i drive into the sea. maybe i'm just a weak-ass person but when this person goes i will follow immediately after, i'm very close to my family so it would kill me. that's my two cents. peace.

    Physically? I've frightened away many butterflies by flailing my arms and screaming loudly.

    Mentally? Was quite a sensitive & self-conscious child and a bit of it has remained with me.
