When is enough, enough?

Question

It can be any situation, any area of life. Family, friends, jobs, anything. But how do YOU know when enough is enough? And how do you deal with it?

Answer 1

'Enough of is Enough of' when you're brain is about to burst..and you're heart grows heavy, you feel like you want to scream so you can let out even the littlest bit of angre..you close you're off of others..you feel as if you want to be alone so you can collect you're thoughts. I've went through that, not that long ago

Answer 2

You know, that is so weird that i saw your question because i have been asking myself the same thing..I am having a family crisis and i keep asking my self..how many times do i have to get hurt before i say enough is enough?? I realized that it is something that you have to search deep for and find out for yourself what else you can take or what else you think you deserve to take. You have your own life to take care of and if you chose to let these people or person keep hurting you then that is your choice, but that is the key word...choice....you can chose who you want in your life and who you feel you would be better off without. Obviously if you have someone who is causing a toxic relationship then you probably should make a decision to eliminate them for the situation. , otherwise you are going to be asking yourself this same question all the time and you will never have any peace. bottom line is it is completely up to you and how much you can tolerate before you say enough is enough because nobody deserves to be hurt time and time again. do some soul searching and you will find the answer you are looking for. Good luck to you....

Answer 3

"Enough is Enough!" is different for everyone. For me, it's when I've EXHAUSTED all options, all ideas, all effort, and all my energy. If I've given it "my all" and still don't accomplish the desired results, then I'll quietly admit defeat and take the necessary measures to remove myself from the situation. If it's a romantic relationship, I end it. If it's job, I quit. If it's a friendship, depending on the circumstances, I might end that too. I deal with it by grieving for a short while over the loss, and then moving on.

Answer 4

In every way that matters the determination that "enough is enough" usually does it for me, because once I adopt that mindset, I am no longer interested in devising solutions to make the situation work, and I am concerned from that point on with distancing myself from whatever "it" is. The key to saying "enough is enough" is, never to say it lightly, and always mean it when you say it. If you've done that, what to do afterwards will be obvious.

Answer 5

Three strikes and your out.

First time: confront calmly and state how you feel about the situation and what you expect in the future.

Second time: ask if clarification is needed about what you expect.

Third time: state "this is the last time this will happen and these are the consequences if it happens again"

If the situation happens again, follow through with your decision.

The only place this process doesnt apply is with violence. Once and only once! A slap, punch, pushing match, or threat of killing. Any of these and I am gone, gone, GONE!

Answer 6

You are only one person.You should know when "enough is enough".If you have kids, house ,husband and a thousand other things to do in a day you have to try to take out time for yourself.I lock myself in my room and give myself 15 minutes.Try listening to music or take a power nap!I take care of 9 kids aday plus my own 2.It isnt easy!Good luck!

Answer 7

I step back and go into isolation. I either go out side or into another room - or if I can't physically get away then I start cleaning (anything that will keep my hands busy and keep people away from talking to me).

After a break, I can usually resupply my patience and begin tackling whatever is bugging.

Answer 8

I'd sure like to help you out on this, but you need to be more specific, like is the glass half full, or half empty, and when is enough in the glass enough

Answer 9

whatever the situation enough is after the first time. it shouldn't have to go on beyond that.

Answer 10

enough is enough when someone has to stand up and take over for you or make decisions for you
