They say I'm strong.
They say I'm a fighter.
They say I'm brave.
If only they knew. I'm not brave, I'm desperately hiding from everything that scares me. I'm not strong; I've been hiding behind the ED and SI for years. Those things support me, not psychic strength. I never once fought. I had time and time to try, to say 'no', but I never once did. I didn't fight; I submitted.

I think "they" are wrong.
After years of struggling through my own sorted past (something that has crept up on me once again) I realized that those comments are a load of crap.
We are only as strong as we allow/want ourselves to be and sometimes we do not want to be very strong.
What "they" do not tell you is that sometimes the strength cannot come from within. Sometimes we cannot find the strength. Sometimes we have to reach outside of ourselves to find it. You know that you have been that person for me (as well as several others, so let me be that person for you.
