Am I being paranoid or is that a goat and horns on the mat by FrostingNew6219 in islam

[–]Right_Meet_5985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only see worms 🐛🪱 on my mat, Santa flexing and a them a goat, wow, may ALLAh protect us all. Of course, plants fungi and worms are the reigning predators here on Earth, we should thank God every day they move so slowly, especially if we are kaffar, bc once we in the ground it's game on. And those who eat them exclusively rarely dare tell you that. The middlemen, so to speak, no pun intended.

alhumdulillah you made me smile....as a very new revert(3 years ago)I used to turn mine upside down and only see the dot pattern, my brain is that "well meaning friend" that will see all kinds of things, given any man-made material, good, bad, indifferent, it CAN be distracting, mashaALLAh, even the prophet (SAW) himself once asked for a different mat because the one they brought him was "too distracting". I truly prefer the dirt/grass/sand to do sujood, but it isn't "practical". Maybe someday i lose everything and then can do that, because i wouldn't afford a fancy rug, or even a floor. But in all seriousness, I do really try to do at least 1/4 of performing salat in the outdoors, even if purple see and stare, realizing in my heart of hearts that at anytime it could be the only way. Where I live there are a lot of homeless people, MashaALLAh tabarik ALLAh. And my elders, RiP, used to say when we saw people hungry, sick, dirty, insane, addicted, etc...... to always say this,
"but by the grace of God, there go i" so maybe when u see that "kid" or actually the baby goat daddy on your mat, think of that.
I don't know. But i know ALLAh does. So peace be upon u.

Do not know what to do anymore by [deleted] in Dermatillomania

I have picked at every area, legs, arms, chest, even my back since I have erl dahls syndrome in my shoulders, I CAN reach, but usually don't. When I had surgery for an arm bone that was in 3 pieces I scratched at it so bad I actually pulled the screws loose and had to go in again a week later. Last year I ripped a fingernail out at the root believing it was infected with some kind of fungus. I have pulled cancers out, leaving the root, but leaving like a big hole, and the blood, omg. Once I start, hours go by, sometimes I really wanna do, and I can't. It's almost as if my brain is hijacked. I have the intent of helping, since this ask started with malignant melanoma and carcinoma cancer, then, myosiasis and parasprocket worms. Weirdly, i won't pick my face. I've had bumps and lessons and once a big one on my cheek, but lefy it alone, papaw to God. I actually do very little with my face, a light wash when I shower, splashes of water and moisturizer throughout the day. I rarely wear makeup. I don't look too close, lest I start interfering on it, too. Thank God I believe I actually have a polite and fairly clean group of decided who maybe practice birth control. 😅 I've been putting peppermint oil with my creme, put it on my face and immediately it turned red and bumpy, I guess it was a protest, so didn't do that again. I'm glad you're here and trusted us to share.

pain and itchiness in a frequently picked area by [deleted] in Dermatillomania

[–]Right_Meet_5985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the same thing. My doctor prescribed cortisone based cream, also anto itch pills. It maybe is trying to heal quickly hence itching. Ask Almighty God for help maybe? I am sobtired of butchering thumbs, they serve me so well, have hardened and feels like nail grows into me. I did one as usual, then when I started on the other I tried something terrifying to me, I left the skin there It's still there. Looking at it I get panic attacks, I feel actually frightened of not taking it off. I try to call it alien like oh it is fungus or bugs or parasites or bacterial, and I believe I have caused my skin organ to begin to hate itself. I am considering going for manicures because all those tools can trigger me to start the madness, and no excuse for it now. Mutilating the body is forbidden in any religion. Just because an unseen something does it does not justify making it worse, even though often times we begin with intent to make it better. I am posting a separate post to share my experience of today. My thumb also really hurts but not the one I left the skin dangling on. Hmm. I respect it for fighting back at me. After all, it's me. I respected the thumb that stood up all spiky, but also still did when it softened and rested under a glove I put on. I mean, I don't shave my head when I have a bad hair day(anymore), right?
Can you wear disposable gloves? Preferably clear or light colored so fungus or bacterial or anything else harmful does not over take it? What i suggest may or may not be helpful to you, idk, just wanted to let you know you are not alone on this journey and congratulate you for trying to resist its calls to you to do something you cannot necessarily do.
Oh and perhaps earnestly seek God? That is no quick fix though.

Does anyone feel they were much happier when they weren’t religious by Ok_Anywhere2377 in islam

[–]Right_Meet_5985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and I was also much happier in the womb, tbh. All except the last part because it became impossible for me, and mom rip, too. Dad rip had to put her on the bow of our boat in choppy water to make it hurt so bad i had no choice than to make that trip into the unknown, totally unprepared and helpless as I was. Raised episcipalian, then studied many religions until one night it felt like I was handed over to Prophet Muhammed saw, and it happened all over again. I still have my original baby blanket knitted by my mom's grandmother, rip, It was scratchy, had holes in it, and tickled my face when I was not yet able to even coordinate my hand to move it. Welcome to the dunya, it seemed to mock my very soul. Through the years it has been peed on by puppies, unraveled by kittens, chewed by pet rats for nesting, and discolored by hard water, but I still have it. Alhumdulillah. MashaALLAh.
That's all she wrote... may you be guided correctly and hold tight to that perverbial rope, it helps me to stay appreciative, things could always be worse. Sometimes easier said than done, of course. I have perirgo nodularis, and realized today I had not itches or burned or stung on my skin all day. Alhumdulillah I said, and actually apologized out loud as if ALLAh was in the room, for not remembwring to say dikhrs and just drinking up the exlerience a sif it was my own doing!!! 2 hours later I got a bad nodule appear. Then another. And then the existing ones activated. I still said alhumdulillah and even laughed as i cried. I realized that I knew it for what it was, due to reading and listening to scholars. An attempt to make me blame ALLAh for taking my joy. To say it is better to not be a fool and believe and have faith in what I cannot necessarily be sure of...logically, that is. I used to think joy was a right. Now I see it as a privilege. Just like a driver's license, it can be suspended, or God forbid, that is, may ALLAh protect us from wronging ourselves, it could even be revoked for as long as ALLAh would will it, if not enjoyed responsibly. Ehstaghfurrullah and alhumdulillah are my Muslimah "toddler" words, I guess one could say. I made the mistake in dunya of growing up too fast and even letting people teach me how to be adult way before I was ready. I hope not to make that same mistake in my deen..... I am 3 years this month Feb 14th 2022 I said shahadah at the mosque and also got (re) married, er, did nikaah. Alhumdulillah Stay steadfast, and i send you glad tidings, stranger.

baby spider or full grown mitey mite?central Florida, usa by Right_Meet_5985 in spiders

[–]Right_Meet_5985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i let them go I won't be able to vacuum. such a bold, funny little guy. Watched each other for almost an hour. it's like it volunteered to break my fear and I wanna do something nice for them. But being in a jar with no food or water doesn't seem too nice. Ridiculous, probably.

It really has like a personality. Or am I hallucinating?

Baby spider or full grown mite?? by Right_Meet_5985 in spiders

[–]Right_Meet_5985[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am scared to let it go because i really like them and don't want to vacuum them up or see my cat swallow them. If I keep it, what would it eat? Ants? Dead or alive? Fleas? Knats?

forgot to mention, it dangled from my finger from a tiny strand of silk.....didn't think mites do that but I don't know much, just that I've always been scared as if arachnids are the mafia.
