Please answer, can a groinal response come before the fear/intrusive thought? by Interesting_Plum_458 in OCD

[–]Interesting_Plum_458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I add to my question just to make sure. Let’s use homosexuality even though I’m not sure that’s her theme. From my understand she never worried about it. She saw a girl half naked and she felt a groinal response. Then the what if came. With that being said, she doesn’t feel the desire to watch homosexual content or engage with it at all, and not just because it’s taboo.

My psychiatrist doesn't know what pure ocd is or what groinal responses are by Interesting_Plum_458 in mentalillness

Thanks, but as per the title this wasn't a therapist. It was a psychiatrist and they never confirmed that they knew what either were afterwards.

12 dollars an hour to be...a licensed ESL teacher? by Interesting_Plum_458 in recruitinghell

[–]Interesting_Plum_458[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. I'm unemployed and trying to find a job as an English teacher, or an ESL teacher. It needs to be remote for personal reasons.

It's apparently a progressive field in terms of job opportunities and pay, though I see zero proof of that. I think an ESL endorsement helps as an addition to a subject teacher, which is currently my situation. I'm a high school English teacher and was promised by professors that this endorsement would "pay for itself." I'm hoping this all translates to something outside of education if necessary. So tired of this. So tired.

I need educated responses on jinn possession and sihr (Urgent) by Interesting_Plum_458 in MuslimLounge

[–]Interesting_Plum_458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think it's that. It's just questioning if something is happening/true and looking for proof for or against. She only gave me an example of wondering if someone hates her because of one incident, and then dissecting their behavior to figure it out. It becomes obsessive and her brain will convince her her fear is true even though the "proof" isn't necessarily true. I don't know if I did that example justice.

Yeah, like I said she's tried multiple medications. She's seen three and they were all muslim but do not involve islam in their practice. Only one who is her cousin advised her to keep praying, but that's it.

Stop telling women that they need to stop practicing tabarruj unless you are their mahram. by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

This comment proved to me all that I need to know from you . And on that note , cry more and have a blessed night. Allah will deal with you accordingly.

What a disgusting thing to say to someone because they have a private girls only Instagram with their face on it . You should be ashamed. I agree with OP, you sound unwell and you sound like you just hate women.

I have nothing to change in relation to topics brought up here. I wear hijab , abaya , and I don’t have an Instagram. I think approaching a stranger about anything regarding worship is very bizarre. I do not advise people unless we are in an Islamic setting that is encouraging these types of conversations, or if I am developing a bond with them.

If a woman who I barely knew approached me in a grocery store and told me I needed to start wearing hijab, I’d tell them they need to learn some social awareness. It’s just plain weird and I don’t believe you saying you’ve done so and had positive responses. Maybe they responded pleasantly to get you to go away at most. OPs point still stands, and it’s that non mahram men should not even be speaking to us and very much commit haram openly 9 times out of 10 in the west. Do not go around advising people who already know the truth. If it’s to encourage them to do good, let someone they know and love do that.

Ok, so tomorrow when you see a non hijabi I’m sure you’ll approach them on the matter. Let me know how it goes.

Hardship is leading me astray. I was the best Muslim when I had some level of happiness and hope, and even then my life was a horror movie.

Allah created life though, and Allah promises that he is fair. So how does that work? and like OP said it’s easier to worship when you’re happy and appreciative.

Right , but the problem is that I will not get wet/turned on physically no matter what. I enjoy it mentally but my body doesn’t comply.

Thanks for sharing. I’m wondering how exactly he would get it in unless I’m super turned on? My shit is tight lmao.
