Weakness who disappear and you are more strong

Post Reply New Topic

It is the truth i was weak in my past. For example of my weakness back
some years ago was this: I was always sitting on a couch all day long, and I could
almost not raise from it. If I could raise that was only through long autistic rituals!

Also another example would be that I could not talk directly to peoples without preparation,
cause it would have ''cost me'' too much in term of energy so to say. Visits without warning at my place
sometimes bothered me very much!

I also go to a mental hospital at some point. There for example of my weakness I had
to make walk around the circular hospital architecture. If I didnt do it i would not feel so good...
Can this be considered a weakness???

Now I will tell you something amazing: I am done with all weakness in the present day! I do functionn
as straight as a normal human being in the present day i think. I can think of nothing weak in me...

I can raise from my bed in the morning direct, i can clean my room daily , even the floor,
i can talk to anyone in any ways it might be,i can go take walks outside, etc...

Indeed I would also LOOK more strong then I was. I look almost look like a normal human being to this day...
Sometimes people might not think i am autistic!

Do someone else have live this example of weakness which disappear and you become more strong? It doesnt have to be as dramatic and complete as me. This could be just 1 or 2 weakness you have get rid of, this is not important it is not all of them.

And if you think something about my case directly please tell...

That's a great, motivational story. I went through a period when I would be sitting on either my couch or my bed all day either working on my art, reading a book or playing my Game Boy DS all day. I got back into the workforce at the age of 33. I was unemployed and recycling beverage containers for a year and a half and than I found a really good job as a greeter at a local bank. I got laid off in January, but I plan to look for another job after my best friend and I come back from a day trip in Victoria BC.

You are strong too it seem... Nice story.

Indeed i got better. But what i was really wondering is this: is there some other people which have weakness which go away??? I didnt found this subject on the forum! This is why i wrote about it indeed.

Yet i doesnt have to be like me, it could just be just 1 or 2 weakness that you might have surpass. IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE ALL. It could be just like this for example:

You cant go to supermarket because this give you anxiety, some many things there is to buy you see... But then years later, or months later even, you found out you can do it. You can go to supermarket alone!

This is just a example, this has nothing to do with me.

It doesnt have to be all, it could be just 1 or 2.

Your story is a lot like mine. In 2012, I found myself near the end. I was sitting on the couch watching television wondering if it was even worth it to go on. I had no way of going out and doing anything and, even if I had, circumstances would have kept me in the house. Thankfully, I never had to go to a mental home, but I had nightmares about it happening.

I have also changed a lot in the past six years. I now have an active life. I haven't accomplished everything I want to yet by a longshot, but I now have growing opportunities. Your story is very inspirational.

I took inspiration from the story of one of my favorite players, the one mentioned in my user name-Denis Istomin, who came back from a car accident he suffered as a teenager to make the professional tennis tour. His name isn't as well-know as the great players in the sport, but his triumphant story inspired me to pick up a tennis racquet for the first time at age 50. Three years later, I see vast improvement in my skills and I'm having a great deal of fun.

A few years ago I used to spend whole days in front of computer except the weekends when I had school - to which my mom was giving me a ride because I just couldn't force myself to use public transportation and where she registered me. I couldn't cook or clean the house. Laundry was like dark magic for me. I couldn't do shopping on my own either. And I had virtually no friends.

Currently I am living on my own, using public transport daily, cleaning, cooking, shopping, attending school where I registered on my own, doing a part time job in social field (I'm an extra in soap operas) and such. I also have a few friends that help me out a lot.
But I am still weak. I still cannot deal with real job hunting and I would get back where I were if I had no disability pension. What I reached is 70% environment change and only 30% ability change. If I lost the pension I would have to return to my parents house in my family city and I would lose 70% of my current strength. Well, perhaps just 60% because I would be motivated to improve.
