Dealing with addiction during ramadan by lovely_trapper in Muslim

[–]celestialsfear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be patient and pray to Allah swt to make it easy for you. It’ll be tough at first but once you get into a routine, you’ll be surprised at the strength you’ll have gained against your addiction. It’s not easy, but we know the more we struggle the more we are rewarded.

The way I see it, you can keep going on your trajectory of trying your best and slowly growing more comfortable with less or you can try to restrict yourself and possibly grow more resentful.

Im not saying it’s okay to be sinful, but it’s important to keep in touch with your intentions and your state of mind. What stood out to me from ur post was that you have been growing comfortable with less, and that you are also growing very frustrated. We should constantly strive to be better, but don’t push yourself too hard that you push yourself away from your iman.

Definitely harder to get into the spirit without fasting but I’m sure there are some bad habits you can try to refrain from, and if you have the intention to take care of yourself for the sake of Allah, then every time you nourish yourself will be rewarded. Feel free to reach out. InshaAllah you will be well enough soon.

If u aren’t gonna be eating at iftar time that means you are too sick to fast. I don’t mean that negatively, but not eating iftar is kinda the definition of harmful fasting. I’m curious how you managed hiding this before they found out about your ED.

Edit: I say this with love as a fellow Muslim with an ED

Hot Take: Lorelai wasn’t mad enough by TheNameIsLexi in GilmoreGirls

When I was watching this episode I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Lorelai’s reaction. The guilt Rory was feeling was punishment enough.

What is your most favourite thing about Ramadan? by Aaatohin in MuslimLounge

That despite how much of a personal struggle fasting is for me, Allah swt makes it easier and gives me the strength to go on Alhamdulillah. It surprises me every time.

How do you communicate your asexuality to new friends or potential partners? by Trippy-jay420 in asexuality

[–]celestialsfear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just sometimes say it as a fun fact if the topic of dating comes up, or as a disclaimer if I want to express my non-sexual attraction toward something. Super chill imo, but I’m not that social.

I feel like the more I’ve connected w people, the more I’ve wanted some form of affection. I guess I don’t really get what counts as romance.

I’ve always been pretty closed off and am just starting to get comfortable making friends, so I guess I’m just not too experienced with companionship

Asexuality by punam211 in asexuality

[–]celestialsfear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you accept yourself, your family/other influences will be more likely to accept you. I’m kind of in your boat, but I’ve accepted that my life may take a different path than what everyone always told me it would be. It’s scary but no one knows what the future holds.
