How much can one person take before they lose control or go crazy???

Well the best thing would be to ignore the person outright or blast him real good so he/she doesnt dare to open his/her mouth in front of u. I prefer ignoring as it doesnt bring me in a bad light.

I have been going threw alot and I just take things one day at a time.. I deal with my family and such on a daily baises and they have some stories they want to tell me.. I listen and forget cause I know they aren't true.. I do tend to blow steam though but it helps some. but snapping I haven't done that yet.. I'd rather stay cool and relaxed than snap at people for no good reason..

People have short fuses, if someone messes with them badly enough for too many years and they do not let it out, they will blow.

I really have no idea what my limit would be. There have been so many horrible things that have happened in my life, and yet I'm still here, and still positive for the most part. =) I guess really the only thing I can think of that would probably be my snapping point would be any harm coming to my son. I can handle just about anything for myself, but if something bad happened to my son, that would probably be it for me.

It depends on person to person, there are certain people who can carry on even when the whole world is against them. But i am not there, i easily get frustrated and do crazy things at times. Life is not easy for everyone, but there are times when we think that we cannot take it anymore but god had mentioned in the bible that he will not let our life into such a hard time that we cannot face.

People have varying "thresholds" for stress that triggers a psychiatric episode. For some, just a stressful job is enough to make them withdraw from reality. While some, like you, are tough enough to withstand many of life's challenges. Here are some tips to prevent one from "going crazy": 1. If you're overwhelmed with too many tasks or too much stress, simplify. Simplifying is better than complicating. Geniuses tend to simplify the complicated, while stupid people tend to complicate the simple. 2. Try to look at the good side of things. There is always a positive side, if only we choose to see it. Like, if you're jobless, that means you've got plenty of free time and that's precious. Many people long for that. 3. Take the negative and turn it into positive. Example: If you're lover hurt you and left you, then enjoy your new-found freedom. Use the freedom to find someone better! 4. If all else fails, say a prayer. There's nothing like a supreme being to carry us through the toughest times.

I've also been through a pretty stressful time recently and I have felt like I am going crazy. I can cope with problems and whatever but the thing I find really difficult to deal with is trying to get idiots to understand the situation! I think if it wasn't for my kids, I might have snapped by now. Well, I was extremely rude to someone on an email I sent them because I had got so angry at them but I was rude to them because they didn't understand plain English so I thought they might respond to me treating them like the idiots they are! So I don't think I actually snapped as such with that one. But if my circumstances don't change soon, I think I might have to go mad to cope with it! It's good that you can remain calm though. I know I try and it can be very very difficult sometimes!

even i think that the best way to keep ur temper down is to stay calm... but at times... if people dont stop irritating or trouble continuosly..everyone gets MAD and can do anyting to stop them... i had lost my temper many times and i had to SLAP the person to make him be quite... he went crying home and my hand were red.... haha! Nice topic... Thanks!

I dont think you can put a fixed border down and say that is how much people can cope with before they snap. I think this is very much a individual matter and different from person to person. Some people who are strong physically may be nerveous wreck when it come to psycology. Yuo say uourself that you had your share of hardships in your life, and you believe that this has made you a better person. Well im not going to judge you on that, but one thing is for sure, it has made you a stronger person. I speak very much from personal experience, i often feel like now i cannot take anymore, but i always find myself struggling on. Somehow i have accepted this as my destiny and try to make the most of it. But it sure aint easy. Life can be so cruel and so bloody unfair.
