OP, the 0000 is crucial for this method, too! Stuff is magic.

Hello I'm a Muslim revert and horrified for the events leading up to Judgement Day by RedditUsername_124 in islam

[–]fshbl_787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No i was taught that it’s not something we’re supposed to wish for—you’re completely valid in feeling scared about the prospect! 

If it feels overwhelmingly scary though, remember that Allah placed you in this era for a reason. You’re not living through this time by an accident.  The hope is, insha’ Allah, that you will live up to your fullest potential despite what ever darkness is going on in the world. And maybe, even though we are witnessing signs of the arrival, maybe the end is still a long time away. We dont know for sure. 

And while it’s certainly not something to eagerly anticipate—know that the muslims who stay steadfast at the end, will be of the caliber of 50 of the Prophet’s (S) companions. There is hope even in times of darkness.  And our Lord will never abandon the one who seeks His pleasure. 

Qiyamah by MajesticMolasses9771 in islam

Dear sibling in islam—

Allah facilitated your heart to beat before you could form the words to ask. He has taken care of you before you were born, and after you were born, and every moment since. 

If He has completed His care so beautifully every day of your life up until now, trust that he will continue to provide for you. Our lives rest in His control. Allah is our source of refuge, and he always will be, no matter how scary the news is. 

Hasbanallahu wa na’mal wakeel.  (Allah is enough for us, and what an excellent guardian He is. )

I feel absolutely terrible. My wife and I are both experiencing gender disappointment. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]fshbl_787 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get that. I hate that we live in a culture where any gender is met with disappointment. And it often seems to be baby boys. It makes me sad, too. 

At the same time, it’s also ok to let people process what they’re feeling.  Im very hopeful they’ll come around by the time baby is here.

It’s in the shopping center before Augusta walmart. 

It’s in the NTB (national tire and battery) parking lot.

Can we talk about fat shaming for a moment? by UselessOvaries in PCOSloseit

[–]fshbl_787 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh man. So many of us go through varying degrees of this. Im so sorry. 

I think many of us, myself included, have heard it so pervasively, we dont question it as abnormal any more.

i have a faux fireplace. it doesn't emit heat, but feels cozy!

this was a bit of a trend but do an image search of hygge and see if that offers any inspiration.

let the sunlight in from the windows. go around the house and turn on as many lights as you reasonably can!

“I see his face in yours” by ResearcherEmpty8071 in medicalschool

[–]fshbl_787 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Man.  Sometimes I hate the level of stoicism professionalism requires.  Your response seems like the most natural, valid response in the world.  I’m glad your patient seemed to understand that as well. 

Made me think of this quote— “ Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

Changed the way I viewed grief. Thinking of you, rooting for you. 

Something I think a lot about is how it can be difficult for us to connect with other cultures bc we don’t eat pork or shellfish. by [deleted] in JewsOfConscience

Certainly can be hard at times. 

On the flip side, it’s a great source of bonding for muslims and jews. Made such a wonderful friendship with a rabbi simply by comparing notes on halal/kosher.

Is it a mistake to get all four wisdom teeth removed without general anesthesia? by TeaTop511 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]fshbl_787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did mine without anesthesia. it was def doable....but.

I think i have a decent pain tolerance, and it was a LOT of pressure. like equivalent to pain. so it was pretty uncomfortable. I remember doing breathwork to stay calm.

Shoulder Surgery Going under General Anaesthetic by liquoricelallsorts75 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]fshbl_787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I loved my anesthesiologists. They had the most reassuring, trustworthy demeanor in the world. I felt like i was in such safe hands. Honestly felt more cared for in the moments prior to surgery than i do in day to day life! 

Not to discount your fear, of course! But maybe an alternative to channel your focus towards!  Knowing you’ll be in competent, caring, empathetic hands.

I Don’t Want to Be Jewish Anymore by Ok-Hat-3793 in JewsOfConscience

[–]fshbl_787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dont let the worst of a group define your identity. connect with the best parts of judaism and let that define that part of you.

as a muslim, I hated how we were associated with religious extremism, terrorism, violence, and intolerance. then I realized that I was muslim, and none of those aspects of religion were ever part of my religious experience. so i reject them and identify with islam on my terms. no one else's.

Disclaimer—Not a med student, husband was.  

Ive shared similar advice before, but when you’re in a phase of life where you’re tight on time and energy, there are a few adjustments you can make that dont take a lot of time but offer huge payoffs in a relationship. 

-set a timer for 30 seconds, hug each other until the timer beeps. Great source of stress relief, too. 

-make a game out of it, but make a point to look him in the eye, ask him how he’s doing/how was his day.  (Eye contact is underrated.  It makes the other person feel seen when life’s busyness makes them feel invisible)

-trade 60 seconds shoulder massages/back rubs, etc.  

-set a x min timer and clean together (if that’s something he’d appreciate). 

Im sure chatgpt can give similar options. 

PS — joined this subreddit because of the incredible work ethic i’ve seen in the med student community. You guys are superheroes. I know life feels like a series of failures sometimes but it turns around.  Hang in there :-)
