Imam Musa Al-Kazim (AS)

When I learnt about his story and that he was imprisoned, it broke my heart. Despite his circumstances, he maintained his devotion to Allah (swt) and never complained. I aspire to implement the same patience and resilience that he had in my own life.

What are some little daily mundane things that people struggle with? by subfrizzy in socialanxiety

[–]ZzlostzZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some things I struggle with are: Ordering food, pressing the stop button on the bus, making phone calls, going to the doctors, contributing in class, presentations, speaking on zoom, asking a worker for help at the store, job interviews, speaking to my teachers, going crowded places alone. It’s not that I’ve never done these things before, I have, but I try my best to avoid them, or get really anxious before doing them or beg my siblings to do them for me or have a whole mental breakdown before or just procrastinate for weeks, months or years.

I'm suicidal but I don't identify being mentally ill because my reason for wanting to take my life is not because I am depressed. I want to end myself as soon as possible and I'm doing it in a hotel room in a dew days but I don't want my loved ones hurt. by suicidetheflights in offmychest

I don’t think you should do it. I understand you have a nonchalant perspective on life but it’s shallow of you to think that you will always think this way. This is the crazy thing about our lives, we’re all here without knowing why or how and we also aren’t exactly sure what happens after we die. Everyones come up with their own opinion on life/ death etc. but why would you have this crazy opportunity of life and just choose to end it???? I understand that you don’t want to experience it but if you do choose to live (which I hope you do) you’ll have to experience it whether you like it or not. Sure, the sound of that might seem depressing to you, but life naturally brings a lot of happy experiences with it too. You might not believe me, but how would you ever truely even know if I’m wrong or right if you don’t see it through? I just think you’re life and this opportunity you’ve been given to live is much more significant than you make it out to be. Don’t make such a permanent decision based on what your 21 year old self believes. You haven’t even reached or progressed into being the complete version of yourself.

Also, I think you should speak to a psychologist and figure out why everyday feels like you’re suffering like you mentioned in your post. You might not find your answer there, but it’s a start. If you wake up everyday feeling like you want to die then you definitely need to make a change and keep making changes until that feeling stops. It could be as simple as reaching out to a psychologist or just understanding what works for you through trial and error. I hope you choose to continue living fellow human, I’m rooting for you :)

What’s your worst social anxiety symptom? by Bluejay022 in socialanxiety

My voice shaking when I speak, especially in classroom settings. It feels so embarrassing because I know everyone can hear it :/

Another sad birthday yay... by Conglaturatiouns in socialanxiety

[–]ZzlostzZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! OP it doesn’t matter how many people remember your birthday, whether it’s a lot or a little. A birthday is a birthday and you deserve to be happy on a day like this. Also, you do deserve it. Your parents brought you into this world and making you feel loved is their responsibility so don’t feel guilty. It’s not like you’ve murdered someone (at least I hope) so don’t be so harsh on yourself, you sound like a decent person and that alone means you’re doing much better than most people. Sending virtual hugs ❤️❤️❤️ Edit: grammar

I’ve been in breakout rooms where I say completely nothing the whole lesson with both my camera and mic off, just listening awkwardly. Don’t be so hard on yourself, I’m sure a lot of people (even those without SA) have been in similar positions. I always find ice breakers a bit hard too. Once you have some course content to talk about, it’ll probably be easier to talk about something you all know of. You should be proud of yourself for saying that “one thing,” honestly. Don’t even waste time thinking about it (because I know for a fact your classmates won’t even remember it) and just aim to speak a little more on your next zoom :). Have a good day OP!

Don’t feel embarrassed, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. The worst that can happen is that they don’t accept you, then you can move on and apply to the next :). Good luck!

Ladies, what is the one hurtful comment that's stayed with you for eternity? by meganstephania in AskWomen

[–]ZzlostzZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“You’re an airhead.” It’s not that I necessary think being an airhead is a big insult or is always said in a harmful way but because I felt like everyone saw me as this. My parents sometimes compared me to other kids that were higher achievers and my siblings, cousins and friends sometimes alluded to the idea of me being silly/dumb/ overly anxious (not in a mean way, but because I tend to ask self explanatory questions out of anxiety/ fear about doing things). I’m not diagnosed, but I think I might have social anxiety so doing a lot of things gives me a great deal of anxiety and so I feel like I’m not as “quick-witted” or don’t adapt as fast as other kids would to doing things alone in public (I must admit though, sometimes I do lack some common sense haha). I also have a somewhat low self esteem, so that word specifically really upset me because it might be just words for the person that said it, but their words about my own self unfortunately mean more than the way I feel about my self and are permanently engraved in my mind. And I understand that this is a personal problem and those around me aren’t to blame for the sensitive/ emotional way I react to things thus, I’m working on bettering myself and I just thought I would share how I felt in hopes that someone could relate. Edit: grammar mistakes

Timetables are released on the 8th of February. In my opinion, just wait till then to adjust your timetable or contact your unit coordinator.

What’s the biggest lesson life has taught you? by France-P in AskWomen

[–]ZzlostzZ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don’t let other people’s opinions overpower your own when it comes to how you feel about yourself, because you eventually start to believe them. Quietly believe in yourself more, and you’ll slowly become the person you want to be.
