m a 13 year old with no one to talk to i have no friends i live in a white couuntry all i do is sit home and google hadith and whats haram and it made me so depressed to the point i confused myself on islam and islam was my only hope living google told me everything is haram e.g wasting time doing unnessesary things being friends with boys free mixing social media movies games looking at men talking about sins being lazy being friends with disbelievers and all sorts and speaking about yourself laughing too much a women going out and not staying home and unnessesary things and having fun and that made me conused about islam and whats halal and haram so if everything is haram no point living right?like literally i dont even have friends i was gonna be presentitive and get friends but then i thought no point because you wouldnt be able to do anything with those friends since everything is haram.i am confused on islam

Thank you for sharing this. May Allah make it easy for the brother. I have OCD as well, and it’s very difficult to deal with. I’ve started therapy and it’s been helping Alhamdullilah. I also recommend for other muslims who have OCD to watch Ali Greymond she’s great.

[@romanaiqbal10]

Sister what kinda of ocd you have?? I have ocd too i have wasawasa realted to my taharah (washing) its overwhelming can you tell what kinda of theraphy/ treatment you are undertaking??

[@islamlover4ever1]

@@romanaiqbal10 Salam sister I have OCD in terms of salah (repeating prayer) and religious ocd so like waswasa about Allah. I am using an app called NOCD. If you are in the USA or UK and a few other countries you can use it to find a therapist who can work with you to overcome OCD. I also recommend checking out Ali Greymond her videos are a great resource to learning about OCD and doing what you can to reduce your compulsions. May Allah cure you and make everything easy for you

Every time I try to share my problems, stress & depression to my family. They never want to listen, they said it's because of my Imaan and my parents said only political members have stress & depress. I've been facing stress & depression for 2 years now and I never take any medicine since my family didn't believe me.

[@Lina-kb3cm]

It's ok jungbunnywoo remember that it's all just a thought i also struggle with it...

[@191seema]

Ik how it would feel to have parents who are a bit closed minded to things like this. But remember you will not be burdened with more than you can carry and thats what Allah tells us. ❤️

[@imranr99]

Go and see your doctor and tell them how you feel. It is difficult for family and friends to understand, so don't blame them. You will find that some people who have experienced similar to you, can talk and understand. Counselling and medication helped me overcome depression.

[@danyaalasghar2744]

Don't Waite for your family to change their minds. Just get an appointment with a great doctor. I recommend you go for psychotherapy instead of medicine at first. If psychotherapy helps you its great. But use medicine only as a last resort. Do your research on psychotherapy and medicine.

[@roadtohope]

Jazakallah Khair for sharing your feelings. Very brave and selfless thing to do. Allah swt give you complete shifah and make this a means for you to enter jannah Ameen. In shaa Allah this interview will help many many people seek help. With the formula you spoke about in keeping a balance with turning to the Qur'aan and seeking professional help.

This was quite an interesting podcast. Adams insight into his experiences with mental health were very insightful. I agree with him saying men arent able to be as open about their issues/mental health.

[@Answarrior]

There’s numerous medical studies done about how OCD can be caused by external factors such as mold toxicity and/or Lyme disease (which can happen with or without a tick). If you’ve got OCD or even anxiety/mental health disorders, get tested by a functional medicine doctor/practitioner. I don’t know if this is the ONLY cause (could be a combo of trauma) but it is worth checking it out if that leads to your recovery and peace inshaAllah. Hope it helps people struggling out there

[@mahnoornajeeb4075]

Will pray for you. Please do not take that step. Everyone's experience is different but I too have been at such a dark place that dying felt like the only escape (I have OCD too). And there seems no way out. But trust me, you do get better but at the time it does not feel possible. Made dua (Ramadan is coming soon!) and reach out for help, take therapy. My personal advice is read the translations of Surah Duha and Surah and Surah Ash-Sharh. Saved me.

[@fmattiellomagic]

I pray you did not do it. Please keep going. I promise you can live happily. Attach this from every angle, spiritual, nutritional and physical with Quran, eating clean food, avoiding sugar, taking vitamins and excercising. I pray you are well, inshallah ❤️
