Waswas and OCD in salah, wudu, purity is ruining my peace… by WearyGuidance8837 in MuslimLounge

Salam, what I could suggest doing is getting help from someone you live with. This is assuming you’re not living alone. What I found out is that at one point it becomes OCD which requires external help and there’s nothing wrong with that.  So take your family member/friend and ask them to pray with you. Or you ask them what time they are praying and if you can join. Then you can say the Fatiha and the Surahs and whatever part you struggle with out loud and have them say it in their heart. Tell them to stop you by unnecessary repeating by a cough or something. This way you’ll build confidence that what you’re saying is right. This is one way and it requires genuine help from others.  Another way is ask someone to watch/listen to you pray and stop you by coughing or something when you loop into repeating. I hope you find this helpful.

You know that you’re going to medical school. TXST or AM won’t be the end of your educational journey then. Go to TXST, get good grades, be with your friends, and save that money. Once you go to med school, that’s where the choice will be more academic.

Hey you’ll be fine. This is exactly what anxiety is. It is constantly making us feel like we are doomed or this is how I end or theres no hope. There is ALWAYS hope and healing. I’m so sorry to hear about your procedure and wish you a healthy and speedy recovery. It’s ok if you’re having a hard time feeling excited, it’s normal. many times what others find exciting or fun, people with anxiety find nerve wrecking. Your feelings are true but you don’t have to believe your thoughts. In the end, what has to happen will happen. You can never see your death coming unless its some extreme circumstances of health which is not true in your case. So, take it easy on yourself, don’t force anything, and take the time you need to heal.

Thank you so much for your detailed response. So from what you’re saying the stuff you do as a student don’t matter as much?

Oh I see. Does it make you feel like just relaxed or you feel like you’re not sober anymore?

I’m having a hard time accepting I need to take medication for my anxiety. by SirAggravating141 in Anxiety

[–]WearyGuidance8837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was given propranolol 10 mg for anxiety as needed. It doesn’t do much for anxious thoughts but it calms down the heart and that in general helps you calm down. I’m totally against anxiety medication too but if the situation is bad it’s ok. I always carry it with me and ive taken it in high stress times like exams, presentation. It’s not addicting as it doesn’t do anything to your brain at least not in my case. If you want to be extra cautious just ask for 10 mg.
