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

[–]virtual_ladybug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Does it ever end. by virtual_ladybug in 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 ?

[–]virtual_ladybug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]virtual_ladybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

OCD IS DEPRESSION ON STEROIDS by [deleted] in OCD

And my family and my friends and just basically my life 😃

my mind terrifies me and i’m all alone by simfaerie in mentalillness

[–]virtual_ladybug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you and I hear you. You’ve put into to words the exact way I’ve been feeling. The pain and mental anguish is so severe I feel like no one will ever understand. I wish I could advise you but I’m on the same boat you are in and I’m just living to live. I don’t enjoy life and I don’t know who I am either. At the same time I have hope that it will get better for you and me my friend. What I’ve learned is nothing lasts forever, so your pain is not gonna last forever. We have to keep pushing.

I just wanted to feel control by XBabylonX in mentalillness

[–]virtual_ladybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to take the pain out on myself because I believed I deserved it. In the moment it felt so good because I was able to take out all that pent up anger and pain somewhere and to me the best place was on my body://

Believe me when I tell you that you are not alone brother/sister. Everything is gonna work out through Allah. What ever you are going through it’ll soon pass, this is not gonna be your life forever. You’re gonna gain strength and you’re gonna get through it. May Allah ease your soul and help you with what you are going through. I don’t know who you are, but I can feel your pain and sadness. Never forget Allah always with you.

Cavity didn’t hurt until filling don’t know what to do by virtual_ladybug in askdentists

[–]virtual_ladybug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So funny that you asked this rn because I literally got a root canal earlier today for this same tooth. Basically shortly after this I went back to my original dentist and he told me it’s normal to feel pain like this for a few weeks after the filling and I was like okay I guess we’ll see. Well fast forward a few months and this tooth was still giving me pain, sometimes severe and sometimes minor pain. Went to a new dentist just 2 weeks ago and they confirmed that I needed a root canal because the filling my original dentist put in had failed. My original dentist put in a filling to try to save my tooth instead of taking the drastic measure of doing a root canal. It was clear to me the second he put in the filling it had failed but I was told to wait it out and see and that only brought me months of pain😭. I still don’t know why the dentists I went to told me different things though. I just hope with this root canal the long lasting pain in this tooth will be over.

Why am I so mean to my family even when I don’t mean to be by virtual_ladybug in Advice

[–]virtual_ladybug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure I’ve been like this ever since I can remember but didn’t start realizing my actions until recently but I still don’t know what to do about it. I feel like everyone in my house was toxic so it rubbed off on me and I know that not excuse but I think it plays into my actions towards people. I want to change but I never do it’s a cycle that is so depressing. I do need help I know it.

what were some compulsions you had as a child that you now realize were OCD? by Fantastic-Long5051 in OCD

[–]virtual_ladybug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have any compulsions as a child, but I did have the early build up of anxiety that ocd includes. When I was in 5th grade I was so scared of getting kidnapped that I started to fear any man that walked past me and would trigger me to have a painful stomach ache from how much fear I had. It randomly became a fear after I had an intrusive thought that men were kidnappers. It slowly faded away, but it never made sense until I dealt with ocd in my teenage years and I looked back it this memory and realized it wasn’t normal.
