I am glad that you are. Your attitude will surely bring you to success to whatever goal you are planning to do. I just wish I have that kind of attitude, or I could be consistent with being positive.

I am resilient too because you know there is no other way but to be flexible in the changes that is happening in our lives. I want that kind of attitude so I developed and it makes me proud of myself too because it had helped me a lot.

I've been having episodes of depression for years, and I couldn't be more proud of myself whenever I get to beat the hell out of it.

Whenever I'm depressed, I tend to disconnect to people including family and friends. I don't want them to feel burdened much as I don't want to feel like a liability. It is not knowing what causes this extreme sadness that makes things worse. In fact, I consider myself lucky every time smoking a stick or two is enough to help me calm my mind, as there are times when I just want to end it all.

To tell you the truth, during these times I am most thankful for having the energy to change bedsheets or even take a bath.

So, yes, I am still here, and I am proud of myself for not giving up or giving in to depression.

I am so sorry you are feeling that way. I am too had a series of depression but I thing nothing as severe as those that are trying to commit suicide, though I am thinking of just killing myself but never tried to harm myself.

Thank you very much for your concern. I think we all have been into situations where we just want to give up. But we, too, should realize that the power to change these situations is all in our hands.

I just read this today, It so sad that you are having a depression, it is really hard to fight depression. What I can say is don't think that you are alone maybe you are not noticing it, but there are people who can understand you and love you.

I agree again. I just hope someone will start a question about it, but I am not sure if this will going to be successful because it might get close once the right amount of replies have gathered.

I think I feel the proudest of myself when I am helping out another person in need. Here is one of the stories about how I helped an 84-year-old woman when she was in trouble. 

About 6 months ago I was returning home when I stopped to let an elderly woman walk across the street. When she reached the other side of the road she seemed to be fine. Then all of a sudden she ended up falling down and just sitting on the curb. I could see she was hurt and needed some sort of assistance. 

I immediately pulled over and went to go and help her. She was bloody and had some scrapes and cuts on her. It looked like her glasses got bent when she fell. I helped her to clean up a bit with the water and paper towels I had in my car. I put her in the car and took her home. Her daughter was there waiting for her to get home. I told her daughter what happened and she was so grateful that I helped her mom. They offered me money for what I did, but I refused to take their money. It was enough to see the elderly woman made it home safe and her daughter was so happy that I had driven her home and not left her on the street bleeding and hurt. I felt very proud this day that I could help this poor woman out and make sure she returned home safely.

Oh I will be very proud of you and yes, I am proud of you! I will do the same when that happens to me too. This is such an inspiring story.

My scenario was back when I was in fourth form in high school. Usually in my country, fourth form is always crucial to all the candidates because that's the year we usually do National exams and the results you get will determine how your future will be like. So during that period in our school, we used to be shuffled so that number last sits with number one, number two with second last and the trend continues.

So luckily or unluckily I was number one the previous term and had to sit with number last. That lady since we joined high school, she was always the last and everyone seemed to look down upon her. I personally found the lady just normal like the rest of us only that she wasn't putting much focus on her books. Then something with that lady that made her weird was that she was ever shy, wasn't talking to anyone and most of the times she would hid herself inside the locker and mark you, we were sitting in front of the class in the middle row.

So most of the times, she could borrow my book telling me that she wanted to see how had done the assignment but ended up copying everything. When I first realised that, I stopped helping her with my books. But then I opted to start tutoring her although she was slow learning. The good thing is that, she was always willing to learn and whenever she didn't understand, she could always ask. We did this for more than eight months whenever we were free and in the evening when everyone had gone home.

By the time we were doing our final exam, she was at least a better place. She was finally able to to get a grade that took her to college. Am happy she's also on her final year doing hotel management. Am so happy it was through me that she was able to get a mean grade of C. At least i made an impact in someone's life.

You are such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing that. Now I know there are still people willing to sacrifice for the benefit of others.

I am proud of the fact I am bringing up my granddaughter alone. It hasn't been easy but  if I hadn't taken her on she would have gone to a children's home to be fostered or adopted outside the family. It means I have had to put my retirement plans on hold but we have built a nice little life for ourselves and I don't regret my decision to look after her as I can see her growing into a lovely young lady.

Many of my friends say they could not and would not have taken on a child again at the age of 60 and I must admit I did have reservations at the beginning but some things are meant to be and I have been given very good health to be able to cope with what life has dealt me. Hopefully I will be rewarded when I see her grow into a happy and well balanced adult.

I was proud and still of myself for not falling for that because of money or the juicy offers.

I am not sure if my life story is inspiring. All I know I did so many things that had helped and touched the other people. It happened in 2011 when I need to have my medical mission in one of the countries in Central Asia. I taught the doctors on how to treat children with impairments or disabilities.

One of the things that make me proudest of myself is the resilience I have acquired throughout my life. Growing up in a challenging environment with limited resources, I had to develop creative solutions to many of the problems I faced. Through sheer determination, I was able to find success in a variety of areas, from academics to extracurricular activities.

I remember one particular instance when I was in middle school. My mother was working multiple jobs to make ends meet and couldn’t always be around to help me with my schoolwork. Despite this obstacle, I still managed to achieve high grades, due in large part to my ability to motivate and challenge myself. I took it upon myself to create a schedule and system to help me stay organized and on top of my studies.

This experience has taught me that I am capable of overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It has made me proud of the resilience I have acquired and the strength I have gained in the face of adversity. I am proud to have become the person I am today, and I will continue to use this strength to reach my goals.

I am proud of myself for not giving up when times were tough and instead looking for ways to persevere. When I was in college, I was struggling to keep up with my studies and felt like I was falling behind. Despite the overwhelming feeling of dread, I decided to reach out for help and take it one step at a time. I was determined to make it through and graduated with a degree in the end. This experience taught me to never give up and to always seek help when I need it. I am proud of my resilience, strength, and determination to not let my circumstances define my future.

I finished high school at the age of sixteen and I was to go to college immediately. At that time, my father got terribly ill and he needed to be taken care of. My mother couldn't do it alone because she had my sick sister to look after. We had fewer options so I had to put my life on hold. I waited two years before going to college at eighteen. Looking back now, I'm proud of the decision I made.

Also during college, I had to share my accommodation with just an acquaintance during my first year because she had no where else to go and no money to pay for her own place. I didn't mind the inconvenience because I  felt like I was giving to humanity.
