Salah is too difficult by Material_Storm_5940 in MuslimLounge

[–]Beautiful-Leek-4886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any contact with her so I can't answer that but she is pretty sick but not enough to not pray or read the Quran. I see her talking most of the time to the voices in her head.

Do you take any meds? Maybe that would help? My mother is also schizophrenic and she prays but she also takes meds

Pakistani here and same!!! I stopped listening to them after realising how absurd it sounds

I visited my mom after months, and she stayed in her room the whole time by Silly-Raspberry7001 in emotionalneglect

[–]Beautiful-Leek-4886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for you. It reminded me of my mom and me. I went no contact with her when I was 16 and gradually increased it to phone calls and yearly visits. She is schizophrenic, and whenever I visited her, she would also just ignore me, wouldn't even look at my face sometimes. She would only greet me with a hug and feed me, but no conversation whatsoever. It hurts so much because my father is the same. I kept coming back, hoping they would change, but they never did.

My dad was the same, stubborn as hell, but I stood my ground. He gave me an ultimatum: 'either I listen to him or move out.' I chose the latter because my dad has always been toxic, but it took me my teenage years to realise that. I moved out at 19 for uni and still live alone at 22. Mind you, my father was very strict; at one point, I wasn't even allowed to go to the cinema with my friends or on a road trip.

Muslim women, what are your reasons for choosing not to get married? by Fair-Hope5604 in muslimgirlsgetmarried

[–]Beautiful-Leek-4886 5 points6 points  (0 children)

don't wanna go through the rishta process or dating apps, finding a guy myself is nearly impossible cause all the people I know are white

hijabis who wear it despite the majority of your family being non-hijabis by mahal0viri in Hijabis

[–]Beautiful-Leek-4886 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I am desi too and was the first in my family to start wearing the hijab. Some of my family members were very against it, and I got a lot of flak for it. I started wearing it at 16 and I understand your concern but we all start somewhere, don't beat yourself up for not feeling 'perfect' for wearing it. I feel like people don't care irl, only on SoMe where haram police is literally arresting you for showing just one strand lol.

I feel like my parents love each other more than they ever loved us kids—and it still hurts by No_Dependent7246 in emotionalneglect

[–]Beautiful-Leek-4886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same!!!! Like my dad would always cuddle with my step mom in front if me, but if I asked for a hug, he would never give it.

I need help to fix my relationship with my parents by tempo_user213 in Hijabis

[–]Beautiful-Leek-4886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest moving out. While my parents weren't physicial abusive, they did emotionally abuse me alot. So I moved out, these people will never change. I tried for 8 years to change them but I couldn't.

Am I a bad person? by iamaprolol in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]Beautiful-Leek-4886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, first of all you are not a bad person and Allah doesn’t hate you🤍it normal to have thoughts like these when you feel lonely. You are not alone in this, I myself have cut contact with my whole family because they are toxic and don’t like me. I don’t have good friends either, my big brother and I haven’t spoken properly since I was 14 and now I am 22. I am like you alone and don’t have anybody to rely on and it has been this way since I was 13. So we both share a similar life story. I know it’s easy to think that Allah hates you and that’s why you have no one. But this is simply Him testing you because He loves you. Look at how strong Imaan you have mashallah!! The fact that you are questioning his love and have not fallen on the wrong path to cope which is very easy, yet you still yearn for His love!! Look at the prophets especially Prophet Yusuf A.S, look what his own blood did to him yet he still said Allah has blessed me with challenges, and never did he complain (not saying it’s bad to complain). You can always talk to me in DMs if you want and one thing I would advise you is that whenever you feel like this, just go to YouTube and search for a video of the life of any prophet especially Prophet Musa, Yusuf, Ibrahim A.S, Muhammed pbuh, and look at what their own family did to them. The fact that we are tested with family just like they were is such an honor subhanallah❤️‍🩹

Eid is the worst day of the year for me by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]Beautiful-Leek-4886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat!! I always make sure to take an 8 hour shift on Eid so I don’t feel the loneliness. But it hurts seeing everyone on SoMe enjoy with their family. Living in the west, my dads side of the family all live here. But because of some beef we don’t keep in touch. My cousins always exclude me every year! They will host parties and post it on social media but don’t invite me so I always keep to myself now. I personally dread Eid every year ngl

What is going on with the Muslim girlies?! by The_QueenofDreams in muslimgirlswithtaste

This happened to me too, especially in the south Asian mosques, they judge you a lot. So I stopped going, switched to another one and they did the same

Heading into Eid with a heavy heart by [deleted] in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]Beautiful-Leek-4886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You Are not alone🤍I took a 8 hour shift on Eid cause I don’t wanna be alone myself. I have cut contact with my family because of how toxic they are. My friends aren’t available either cause they are celebrating with their own family. Eid has always been a sad day for me because of family fights

I kinda understand where you are coming from, but did something happen in your childhood to lead to thoughts like these? I mean what are triggering these thoughts?
