hi, i know what you mean. i get called a survior but i cant see how i am either. i think everyone has different ideas of what a survivor is, and even though we might not feel like one, to some people we are because the expeince hasnt beaten us!

sorry hope that helps a little bit

i would guess that people say we are survivors because we still wake up each day and put one foot in front of the other and continue with each day.

We are survivors. We survived the ordeal. We continue on. We still strive to be loving and brave and true. We still strive to give a part of ourselves to those we love the most. We look scary things everyday in the face and know we can make it because we've been through worse. I see that in all of us. Even though we feel bad and want to quit we don't because were made of tougher stuff. Keep it up. Be proud of who you are this minute because your you. The good, the bad, and otherwise. Nobody is like you. Most of the time we think we are doing worse than we really are. Be strong. And take care.

We are all survivors!! Think about it... we were all raped... But we are still alive... we still get up in the morning, still take on life every day, we are still here on earth!! Think positive!! We are not victims... the first time i was raped i called myself a victim and i was raped again... 2nd time i did the same and it happen again.. 3+4 i said i was a SURVIVOR!!

Keep your head up... im here if you want to talk

You ARE a survivor. We all are. We are still alive and fighting each day to make it. And we do. The negative feelings to lessen with time. I felt it was my fault for years. You are talking about it and that takes a mountain of strength.
