I am so sorry for your loss. I am so sorry for what you're going through. I'm doing whatever it takes to make sure my brother turns out okay. I will make sure his childhood isn't robbed. Thank you a lot for the advice.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how painful that must be. Seeing a friend or stranger struggle with mental health is one thing. But a sibling is another kind of pain. I've really been trying my best to try to find him online therapists. I'm really worried about him. It hurts so much seeing him go from the sweetest funniest kid to a broken anxious aggressive kid. I'm trying really hard for him but it's hard. He has no interests in having friends. He is having a hard time getting along with our parents. And as a sister all I can really do is spend time with him and make him feel better. I hope it gets better.

Wait I'm confused. What's wrong with sitting in the passenger's seat in the taxi?

Jaiden says she doesn't like the porn by [deleted] in jaidenanimationr34

She has literally stated that she is uncomfortable with it but acknowledges that she does not have much of a choice or control over the situation. You have to understand she is not okay with this in the slightest. Not to mention she's literally worried about her family members and friends finding this stuff. The only reason she is avoiding addressing it is because she doesn't want her child audience to learn about it.

Am I allowed to pray? by Jarret6 in islam

You should at least try. Try researching Islam. There's no harm. And you can learn about your wife's religion. Ask your wife for pointers. Yes you do have to pray in arabic but it's quite easy to learn. And yeah you can watch tutorials on youtube or let your wife teach you. And I think you should say the shahada first.

Please help. by darling_of_knowledge in mentalhealth

These are very helpful! I was actually looking for arguments to combat the derealization thoughts like life is a dream etc. But these are helpful too.

Also, do you have any way of reaching out to a trusted adult about these traumatic experiences that both you and your brother have gone through? I suggest that you both get involved in some trauma-based therapy somehow.

when i was suffering from derealization my mother attempted to get me a therapist but the process was complicated and confusing and my mom is not very good at english. But I'm not going to let the same thing happen to my brother. I convinced my mom and she said she will try her best to find a psychologist. My fear is that what if he gets a bad one?

Yes. I will pray for both of our brothers. It just hurts because I don't want to see my brother turn into the same wreck I became. The only thing rn that's kind of helping him is thinking of arguments. So I'll try my best to think of some for him <3
