Mental health

Alhamduiliah Ya Rab
Make it a great habit to talk about
blessings more than burdens.
Where focus goes, energy flows.

I vibe different cuz' my mind different. 🦁

Does anyone else ever get tired of always being the strong put together one? Like sometimes you want to breakdown too, but can't.

Sometimes you just want to process what is happening around you without having to pretend you're calm and collected.

Non stop from the moment of waking up until 1am. 1½ hours sleep and straight to the airport.
My mental health is cooked ☠️👻💥🫯😈💤❤️‍🔥😮‍💨🫠🤪 🧘🏼‍♀️🫖💇🏼‍♀️💄📖🧘🏼‍♀️

When you feel really low and your head is all over the place... What do you do to cheer yourself up or get yourself out of that state?

Before I used to wallow myself in chocolate and I'd be okay again... don't judge my sweet tooth 🤐

However, recently my sister introduced me to "Dhikr Walks" - you'd go for walks preferably in the morning- explore Allah's beauty and be in constant state of Istighfar or any dhikr of your choice. But now that the mornings are getting colder and days are shorter wandered what you guys would do?

Speak good, keep hope alive, and always think well of Allah. Your words reflect your heart, and your trust in Allah keeps your heart strong. 🤲🌿
“Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak what is good or keep silent.” — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Sahih al-Bukhari 6018)

Good morning ! 😀

Ladies, I’d love for each of you to talk me through what a typical day looks like for you, from start to finish.

Please include a timeline of your day, highlighting your key activities, responsibilities, chores, and how you structure your time from when you wake up, until you call it a night.

Think of it as “ A Day in the Life of…”

I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s daily routines. 🙂

Our local imam gave an interesting khutba today.

It focused on mental health from an Islamic viewpoint.

In particular, it dispelled the notion that struggling emotionally is a reflection of one's piety (iman).

For example, the Prophet Yaqub as (with his grief over the news of his son Yusuf's as 'death'), and RasulAllah Muhammad saw (the Year of Sadness after the deaths of Khadija ra and his uncle Abu Talib) would not be considered weak in their iman. Not even close.

Grief, sorrow, depression, anxiety and other mental and emotional conditions are things that anyone can experience.

Islamically, we have an obligation to look after our mind just as we look after our body.

Sometimes, your closest family and friends could be going through something and you wouldn't know. Be there for each other, genuinely, not dismissively.

Aside from our Islamic obligation, and basic human decency, that's why it's important for us to be careful how we deal with others.

For those going through difficult times, keep spiritually strong through salah, dua and thikr, but also seek the professional help required.

Masajid can also facilitate communal activities like mental health workshops and counselling for those who need it (especially those who might not have a personal network to rely on).

May Allah swt remove our difficulties and reward us for our patience.

Being a single parent is lot of trauma and tension always also the situation
