What Have You Overcome?

[Eve]

I was thinking the other day that so many people on here have overcome all kinds of things so thought it would be interesting to have a thread seeing some of the things people have had to face and got through, not saying completely as some things will obviously never go away.

I have had problems to overcome but reading these posts I have got off lightly.

death of father fairly young - cancer
three miscarriages
divorce - more acrimonious after the legal phase
kids I hardly see
loss of business courtesy of US crash/undermining of finance markets
now handling Alzheimers parent

get on with life and try and keep one's humour.

Fellow cancer fighters, keep up the fight.

[DTCwordfan]

[DTCwordfan]

Lost everything (twice), bankruptcy, homelessness (with five children under 8). Not as bad as some people have experienced though, but Sugar happens, x

[kawakiri]

And yes reading some of these posts I feel I have been rather lucky.

[DaisyNonna]

A cliche but Fight the Good Fight. Our thoughts are with you.

I live with parkis and the cancer, but the persistent hiccups are torture.

i'm really getting off lightly, and btw i don't mean my arm.

Many things in life mainly lung cancer. Half a lung removed, got through it and hopefully won't have to deal with that again.
Other non life threatening thing social phobia. Unable to eat with other people,shop on my own etc but after excellent help from a cognitive behavioral therapist I'm able to do all all those and more.

Serious accident in the pit, which resulted in life threatening injuries, six months in bed, another year before I got back to work and another year before I was anything like normal, though I still get aches and pains after forty years.
Stroke in 2000 which left me with me with quite a few problems, but there's not a lot you can do but soldier on and do the best you can.I also had seven years of marriage which ended with about four years of hell and a very bad divorce.
