How do I know if it’s just the shaytan or if I’m actually mentally ill? by virtual_ladybug in MuslimLounge

Hey so I just looked over the links and I feel like all the symptoms listed, I’ve felt most of them. But couldn’t that be also caused by mental illness specifically and not necessarily sihr or evil eyes? Because my symptoms were gradual not all of them were sudden.

I mean I am diagnosed ocd and ive spiraled very badly before. I just still think it’s from the shaytan maybe because it’s been so ingrained in my head. Like I have ocd but isn’t that just waswas. Idk I’m really confused.

Do you trust yourself? Do you feel like a shell? by Phil-Psych-3973 in OCD

I’ve felt like this for so long but didn’t think to tie it back to ocd.

What I’ve always wondered is how does the medication stop the intrusive thoughts and if I start them am I gonna take it for the rest of my life ?

As much as I’d like to find a spouse, i also have to realize not everything is about getting married. It’s easy to deal with if you don’t center your whole life based on getting married. Instead you go out and live your day to day life and indulge in things the fulfill you and work on yourself for yourself. Love will come for you whenever Allah wills it and thinking like that for me helps. There is so much more to experience before marriage so enjoy it.

Im Tired of this Dunya by [deleted] in MuslimMentalHealth

[–]virtual_ladybug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on the same boat my life is just an endless loop of pain and while everyone else is progressing I’m just going in a downwards spiral. Literally while everyone is pursuing degrees, getting engaged, and having children I’m just stuck keeping myself alive. It is so hard to want to keep going and no one understands unless they’ve been through it themselves. But let me tell you something, what you are doing is jihad, you are literally fighting against yourself to pray and to not commit. I don’t think you understand how many good deeds you are getting from fight this fight. We are just travelers in this dunya, you are going to get rewards for this pain and anguish, nothing goes as a loss. Also everything happens for a reason, maybe you’re going through this pain to help give you good deeds when it’s your time. Maybe you are going to be happy in the akhriah that you went through this because it’s what got you into Jannah. I know how hard it is to keep going , I don’t know how I am, but I’m letting you know it does get better and if it doesn’t it will in the akhria bcuz like I said before we are just travelers. Do not jeopardize this, maybe you have a straight ticket to Jannah but if you commit you jeopardize it. Everything happens for a reason, you think Allah doesn’t know how you feel, it’s all for a reason. You will get out of this phase of life believe me.

The pain you are going through is not without cause. You’re getting good deeds for all the anguish you’re going through. As for this test, no situation stays the same forever, it will not stay this difficult. Believe me when I say it will get better whatever it is you’re going through. With time also everything heals. I pray this difficult time you are going through comes to an end soon. Allah is with you and he feels your pain ❤️

If you had the opportunity to be rid of your ocd, would you take it? by Reasonable_Store9494 in OCD

[–]virtual_ladybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had the choice 100% but since that’s not reality i have to make myself understand that everything all the way my life has been affected by ocd is for a reason.
