safia.d. Posted February 10, 2018 What can one do if your mental disorder deteriorates when you practice islam? ocd gets worse, poore attention becomes confusion, lack of motivation makes you despair (until despairing itself disappeares and nothing is left, no emotions, apathy)? if no one in your family know enough about religion, and your network consists of few family members and health care workers, and the only solution you have is to try and enjoy live by relaxing and enjoying some contriversial things in islam sometimes like music, outdoor activities that require to wear pants (im a girl, wear mostly skirts) and eating non halal slaughter meat, cant reconsile with myself on these topics evendo i see this could emprove my mental health, but the reason is getting clearer to me its forced thoughts that say this is haram because of my ocd, rather than by choice or iman.if this makes any sense.

Mooge Posted February 10, 2018 safia, johhny is big known contrarian. don't listen to him. nothing is wrong with you. lol. safia, all the emotional and negative thinking problems would go away if you seek a healthy relationship with a decent Somali man from wherever you live. you will have no time to think about all these stuff and will look forward to him and his love, full of life and joy everyday. you need to change the topic and start fresh my sister. i really think you need a man in your life. loneliness is the source of all problems.

Johnny B Posted February 10, 2018 FirstIy,I wildly protest against this rabble-rousing insinuation of male partner being the soloution for every Woman who is suffering from OCD or what kind of disorder have ypu, and kindly remind you that you've already taken the first step towards a dignified existence by sharing your situation with us. Religion is not like Math where you follow certain set of rules and solve related problems, hence don't blame your family for knowing less. It is important to understand that the disturbing thoughts, feelings and sometimes actions are a Problem. And that you can get better, much better. Try one or all the following: 1.Talk about your thoughts and feelings with someone you trust, such as a mate, parent, relative or school nurse. 2.Move. For example, you can walk or go and work out. It usually reduces anxiety and worrying. 3.Exercise to make crazy thoughts and feelings come without trying to get rid of them. Obsessive and compulsive acts increase the more you worry and the more you try to avoid them. But if you only let thoughts and feelings come, they can decrease after a while.

No they are not from the same circle - one is a committed atheist and the other is religious fanatic who is selflessly devoted to the religion called majeerteenism. He is the high priest of this temple 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True that we're not friends, hence the oceans apart advices, but tell me, suppose that you, me and Mooge were the last human beings on planet earth and you had to head one of the advices, sure you'd take mine and think Mooge's knowledge about girls in general and girls with ocd in particular is second to none? don't answer that ,just pulling your legs. Just because of the ocd, the guy thiks you're a desperate lonely chick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
