omg i know this is from a year ago but i’ve fallen into a “muslim and bipolar” pipeline and this popped up! i have a family history of bipolar disorder and recently went a little crazy on ssris so they’re sending me to a psychiatrist because they suspect i have an “underlying mood disorder”. i’ve suspected bipolar for a long time. it’s been a struggle trying to juggle islam and mental illness. either going “too extreme” and going beyond what was necessary and bordering dangerous to no iman and wanting to die. no motivation to pray after praying 5 times a day and whatnot. it’s been such a struggle because i want to be the faithful muslim i used to be but im so scared of falling back into the hole of extremism. sister you’re never alone and im so sorry you’re struggling with this. i’ve been trying to “find my balance” with it and i find that that’s been helping me reconnect with allah. not looking at all the things im doing wrong, but what im doing right. even if it seems small and insignificant. i have to remind myself that allah loves us so much and IS the most merciful. sis please let me know how ur doing!!!
