Other- Me, myself and I.  :angel:
Strong feelings, (like hope or willpower) beliefs (religion) have never helped me.
Nor have friends and family. :)

I voted "Other". I had no choice. I had to do what I did, die, or go nuts. By 24 I was hanging by a thread, teetering on the verge of suicide almost daily. It was like being in a burning highrise - you either jump or burn and sooner or later you WILL jump!

Well, willpower is definitely what keeps me going, but I have a strong sense of hope in my life and my family/friends are a great support network to become me. I would have checked all three in that order if it were possible. I think you have to be prepared to lose friends and family, so to me, depending solely on them would be difficult. I've always been a very strong-willed person with an overwhelming sense of optimism inside me. I won't let transition break me of that and make me lose my spirit. I control that.

Hum, stubbornness as in not backing down under any circumstance; a drive to be true to myself; a think head to not let negativity in; thick skin to let the opinions of others not affect me; will power to keep me moving in the right direction; a willingness to do whatever it takes to become who I was truly meant to be;...ya...I picked will power.

Mind you, will power does sometimes falter; hence why I have 5 suicide attempts to my name....

Well picked Will Power, though also there is Hope, and the support of friends
Every day we pass people, do we see them or the mask they wear?
If you live under a mask long enough, does it eventually break or wear down?  Does it become part you?  Maybe alone, they are truly themselves?  Or maybe they have forgotten or buried themselves so long, they forget they are not a mask?

My work, grad school for a while, then my work again. 

If I wake up in the morning and know I go to work that day, its automatically a great day.

Though the people I work with, my close friends for decades and decades now, make a huge difference.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...
