describe the unluckiest thing that has happened to you and how it has affected in your life?

Answer 1

Last year I got salmonella and it developed into Reiter's syndrome so I've been recovering about 9 months now. It's taught me how much I can handle and how good I am at persevering. It's taught me a lot about myself and my character. I also have a lot more sympathy and respect for those with disabilities. The Reiters made my knee swell up really bad and I had a bad limp. Oh, how people would stare!

Answer 2

I find it hard to decide what was the unluckiest thing to happen to me since everything bad that has happened to me has also given me something positive in return.

My ex tried to kill me, and I got out of a bad relationship with more knowledge about what not to do in a relationship. Today I'm married to the most wonderful man a woman can get.

We've gone through several miscarriages and the birth of a stillborn. It was tough on us and it took time to find the strength to move on. Today I know that I have a disease that I would have passed on to my children and I'm happy that I didn't.

The above mentioned disease is crippling me and every day is a struggle to do even the simplest things. The pain can't be described in words and morphine is my best friend. Guess what? I'm happy to be alive and to know that I have more time to spend with my loved ones. If I had been healthy I wouldn't have thought about life and appreciated it as I do now.

Answer 3

Ohh that's a really good question. I have often thought about things that have happened to me that have been unlucky, and without going into loads of detail maybe its just all a case of being the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But i am a believer that you can make your own luck.
Take for example, If you keep plugging away at something you will get there in the end ... and others think you are lucky! A lot of it is down to perseverance.
An example is that once i really badly wanted to win a competition because it was my dream come true.
The question in order to win was easy so i printed up and poster 200 answers all on colored cards.
A few days later i got a call saying i had won. It was one of the greatest moments in my life i was overjoyed!
And it was all down to making your won luck .. the numbers game!

Answer 4

Last year both of my parents passed away- my mom of cancer, my dad of a heart attack 7 months later. (I was 22 at the time, I'm now 23.) I was still living at home because I'm going to college near home, so in addition to having to deal with the loss of my parents, my sister and I had to deal with the very messy probate process (my dad didn't have a completed Will), dispose of my father's business (he owned a store), handle all the memorial arrangements, and take over the mortgage on our parents house. We both had to drop out of school for a year to take care of all this and go to work full time to make ends meet.

Obviously the loss of our parents has been a negative thing in our lives mostly, because we still miss them terribly, but getting through all of this adversity has made us both much stronger people. We are much closer to each other now than we ever were (because each other is all we really have left), and we're both more responsible. We weren't irresponsible before, but we have a lot more obligations now. Basically, after surviving a tragedy like this and coming out in one piece and happy on the other side (we have a truly amazing support group of friends), we both feel that there can't be anything else we'll ever encounter in our lives that we can't handle.

Answer 5

Watching our house burn to the ground was the most unnerving experience of my life. Helpless and scared watching everything you work for just burn and you can't do anything about it. Except hope that they can get the fire out so maybe something will be salvageable.
I now realize that everything that is material can be replaced and thank god that no one was harmed or lost in the fire. I am thankful for the little things now!! I take nothing for granted, you never know what the next minute holds.

Answer 6

Falling on the fnal day of my college exams and not been able to complete what I had worked 8 years to achieve - but I tok it as a lesson because my studies had taken over my life and I had alienated my family and friends because of it, so I rested util my ankle healed and took a year off to reconnect with all the people who are important to me and took my exams at the encd of it and passed - it made me a happier person.

Answer 7

I was born and it's been downhill ever since!
Ok I'm joking! (a bit of truth in every joke...tee hee!)

The truth is there is no such thing as luck. You make your own luck. We all have adversity to deal with. Some of it we bring on ourselves whether we choose to admit it or not. Some of it is random & cruel & unfair but you just have to deal with it & move on. Any of the so-called unlucky things in my life I can actually attribute to something other than luck. Losses of any kind are hard to bear but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I crash. I cry. Then I pick myself up & I realize, next time it will be harder to knock me down.

Answer 8

When I was 9 years old my parents gave me and my younger brother away to a mad uncle and aunt. We were forced to live with them for three and a half years. It was three and a half years of child abuse. They hated us and punished us constantly for any reason or for no reason. I became very maladjusted and depressed. School was a nightmare. I became the kid in the class that nobody liked and who got beat up in the playground. It affected the rest of my life. I'm in my 50's now and have never been able to socialize. I have no friends, no job, no career and a naggy bitchy wife who hates me.

Answer 9

getting sexually molested by a girl that I thought was my friend when I was a child, when I didn't even know what lesbianism was. If I saw her again today I'd probably knock her out. Yes it leaves me with a lot of anger, even 25 yrs. later. And I still know her name too, and it's probably the same since she probably never got married and changed it.

Answer 10

Anticipating to become the most Holy person on earth and the impossibility of achieving it.
