But if I don’t let the “things that don’t kill me” make me stronger they will quite literally kill me. I want to stop fighting for each breath I take. I don’t want to have to be strong, I want to be everything except it. There are times in which I would give everything and anything in order to be able to be weak. I am strong but that is by circumstance and not by choice. Sometimes being strong isn’t really a choice. I’m not saying that becoming stronger is a bad thing, I’m just saying that at least in my opinion it isn’t of any true comfort. Kids shouldn’t have to be strong they should just be kids. I didn’t need to be so-called strong, I needed to be happy, I needed to feel safe, I needed to be innocent. People thought I was strong because I didn’t cry or break down but in all honesty, all I was at the time was emotionally numb.
WHAT DOESN T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER HOW TO
I was full of fear and had no idea how to cope. I was not strong when my trauma took place and for the years after it. If that makes you uncomfortable then you can go ahead and fuck yourself. I am not in any way shape or form grateful for the fact that my abuse made me stronger.

I hated the fact that other people kept looking for some “bigger purpose” in my trauma when in all honesty it just fucking sucked and to this day it still does. When I first opened up about my childhood sexual abuse story and got diagnosed with PTSD the people around me kept telling me how strong I am or how strong I will become and I couldn’t stand it. What doesn’t kill you can also make you weaker. What doesn’t kill you can lead to serious and severe consequences. What doesn’t kill you can make you sadder. What doesn’t kill you can also make you numb. All evidence suggests that disadvantaged groups, who frequently have higher levels of prior life stresses, such as limited finances and job instability, will be most likely to suffer the most from serious mental health conditions following the pandemic.The way you choose to deal with the things that don’t kill you can make you stronger. “We’re already witnessing how black and Latino Americans are experiencing higher rates of COVID-19 infections and fatalities. “Unfortunately, the same may well hold true with COVID-19,” said Stephen Buka, a professor of epidemiology at Brown’s School of Public Health and senior author of the paper. The researchers say that, overall, both findings suggest that the Chilean disaster survivors who had experienced multiple stressors and traumas were at a greater risk of developing a post-disaster mental health disorder compared to those who had experienced few or no prior stressors. MDD displayed a slightly different pattern: Every pre-disaster stressor, even a single stressor increased a person’s risk of developing post-disaster MDD, and each additional stressor further increased the risk, according to the study’s findings. To be at increased risk for post-disaster PTSD, individuals had to have crossed a “severity threshold” of four or more pre-disaster stressors, the researchers explained. The risk of developing these disorders was particularly high among individuals who experienced multiple pre-disaster stressors, such as a serious illness or injury, death of a loved one, divorce, unemployment or financial struggles, legal troubles, or loss of a valuable possession.
