Need a safe space to discuss your mental health? Please always remember to SEEK HELP when things get bad 💛 Never suffer alone 🤝
you don’t realize how much your environment affects your mental state until you finally spend time somewhere that feels calm and your body stops feeling tense for once
We tend to undermine our state of mind, we take our emotions for-granted. But in reality, our emotions and mental wellbeing is as precious and fragile as our physical health. Be mindful, take care of it.
🙌 Smile when the outcome is positive. Don't smile when the outcome is negative. I’m not asking you to smile regardless of circumstances; I’m saying that your smile becomes evidence that the decision aligned with the result.
“Sometimes the strongest people are the ones fighting battles silently in their own minds.
Check on your friends. Be kind. You never know what someone is carrying.” 🖤
And suddenly, the silence weighs more than the noise,
like every thought carries a hidden storm inside.
Smiling feels heavier than it should,
and even breathing takes a little more strength than before.
I have done therapy prior, but it was not with someone who understood my cultural background. I decided I wanted to start therapy again, but with a new therapist that is also Muslim today. Pretty anxious, but inshAllah it will help me access tools to help with my anxiety and depression.
I didn’t realize how mental health is so heavily intertwined in our religion, but Alhumdulliah for this book that guided me.
Wish me luck! (Or the religious equivalent - still working on my imaan)
