Has anyone here ever had an illness/injury transform them in any way?

[dorkmobile820]

spiritually, morally...

for better or worse?

[Bipolar Birdy]

Yes, my bipolar disorder. It's really hard for me to explain in what way. I wish I could be more specific but today is not a good day for my brain.

[Epona Willow]

I had a massive heart attack when I was 37. After surviving I became more appreciative of everyone and everything around me. I live my life in a very different manner than I once did.
Like Happykid the death of my parents changed me as well.

ive never transformed persay... but i have been severly sick multiple times, this only strengthens my faith and shows me the power of God's healing.

[Moiraes Fate]

Yes. it made me value my loved ones more than ever and convinced me for once and for all that there is no god.

[Happykid]

My mom's death transformed me. I look at life very differently now.
