Answer 1

I think I am even stronger in times of crisis.
I am 61. I have been fighting nearly all my life, especially in my career.
Once upon a time I faced a terrible depression. I turned my Screen Saver into "Tomorrow is another day." And 'tomorrow' had turned out to be 'another day', thanks God.

I remember falling to pieces only when having to argue with my daughter, but only from inside.

You are a wonderful person, God keep you safe!

Answer 2

No one who falls to pieces in times of crisis.

Answer 3

I have to be a strong person in a crisis because everyone in my family falls to pieces.
Like when my daughter was little and if I fed her too much baby food she would upchuck all over her highchair. My husband would just stand there and not know what to do. So I would put him in charge of holdiing her hands up till I cleaned up all the mess. It has been like this for everything, a toilet over flowing, a pot boiling over on the stove, the smoke detectors going off (I would use that time for a fire drill with my kids), lighthening knocking out the power, my mom falling and setting off her emergency call button and we would have to go over there and help her, a fast thunder storm pouring in the open windows or on some laundry hanging out. The list goes on and on.
The only thing I do freak out about is a flat tire or car trouble because I have no idea what to do.

Answer 4

I consider myself a strong person - I juggle family, parent issues, job etc etc and try to be a positive and loving person. I can handle most things that have been thrown my way and have lived through a serious family member's illness and death. However, I had a somewhat serious incident where I completely fell to pieces. My husband and I decided to clean the glass on our gas fireplace on Xmas eve becuase family was coming to sleep over and would use the fireplace. We took out the glass pane and washed it. In the process, the pilot light went out and I started to smell gas. My son was on the computer about 10 feet away and my elderly father was upstairs. I told my husband I could smell gas and we both looked at each other because we had NO idea where the valve was to shut it off. My whole body started to shake as I yelled for everyone to get out of the house - NOW. The gas smell became very strong. I knew that our furnace was only about 10 feet away also and had a pilot light inside that could ignite the gas in the air. I called 911 and the fire dept and gas company were dispatched to come to the house. However, my entire body continued to shake violently as I could envision the house blowing up before the fire dept. arrived could arrive. In retrospect I managed to get everyone out of the house and safe but the fact that my body shook so violetly gave me the feeling of losing control of it. It was a terrible feeling

Answer 5

I am a strong person till everyone leaves the house then i go to the bathroom and fall to pieces.

I am strong for everyone around me till I get to be alone then I let it out in short little moments by myself. I don't think if any of them knew how bad things where really bothering me they could take it. When my mom got diagnosed with cancer when I was 15 she told me before she told my dad or my brother because she knew I could "handle it" My brother was 26 years old.

She was just told she might have bone cancer. She only told me, but told me not to tell anyone, because no one else could handle it. I'm the one who holds all the family secrets, I'm the one who the weight of it all and when the night is over I go in the bathroom and cry because I'm just as human as they are I just have a strong looking facade.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest I needed that!

Answer 6

I am usually pretty solid in a crisis. I don't know if it's so great, since who really wants to be in crisis mode all of the time?
Example: the first time I ever went scuba diving (before any real instruction or certification), the rubber mouth piece popped off my regulator. I swam over to another (certified diver) and gave him the "out of air" signal, but he did nothing. So, I grabbed him and his regulator and started buddy breating with him. We were 70 feet down, and luckily I did not panic and shoot to the top.

Answer 7

Well I cant give u any examples, coz I dont think u wud understand, but I am a strong person I guess, I may fall to pieces at times but I always pick up the pieces and move on, and touchwood I mostly win

Answer 8

I consider myself a strong person, my husband is in the army, and therefore deploys frequently leaving me alone to handle everything back home. I pay the bills, cut the grass, keep maintenence on the cars, work, go to school, write him,send care packages, and pretty much do it all. in that type of military life, everyday has the ablility to be a crisis, but you just have to keep going and stay strong because we have no other choice. in times of true crisis, (when friends are killed or wounded) i have to stay strong to be able to comfort and support my husband through it.

Answer 9

I know that I am a lot more willing to do something bold in a time of crisis then almost anyone else I know. I have a lot of drive and passion for what I think is right because I almost never have people on my side, supporting my decisions.

Answer 10

I guess it really depends on the situation. If someone was to die that I really loved I would fall to pieces. If I gained y weight back I would want to be strong and work it off but in the mean time of doing that I would be in pieces.
