I’ve grown up romanticising Ramadan but it is important to note that it is a matter of privilege to be able to do so. As a therapist, Ramadan is also a time where I note mental health symptoms intensifying & reports of domestic violence incidents increasing unfortunately.

Burn out, irritation & stress are also from Allah SWT - theyre signs reminding you to push yourself only in ways that are sustainable, seek help and prioritise ease. Alhamdullilah for a religion that gives meaning to every negative emotion and rejects toxic positivity.

Anxiety, hanger and emotional instability shoots up for everyone & not just those that are already struggling with their mental health. The picture perfect instagram posts end up alienating a big chunk of the ummah that is overwhelmed and plain struggling this month.

understanding your mental health & capacities so as to effectively spend your limited energy in this blessed time ensures khushu (sincerity). Don’t become a test for those around you or slack off on other responsibilities which are also a form of worship.

I worked with women every day who are fleeing domestic violence and today I worked with a woman who completely broke me down. She didn't want to disclose what happened but what she did say was that she had dreams, goals, aspirations. Had. Her abuser took those things from her

The quieter the anger, rage and fury gets, the more dangerous it is. It’s unfortunate how bitter most desi women are because they were forced to swallow their anger and never allowed to express it thanks to patriarchy. It poisons them from the inside.

13 times the Quran asks “Afala Ta’qilun?”which means“will you not use your intellect?”Abysmal turnout at the polling booths yet again shows how most Muslims in urban hyd won’t cast their vote yet lament about BJPs rise. You don’t get to complain if you didn’t vote. #Elections2024

Many clients share in therapy how much time they spend hoping someone who hurt them will face the consequences for what they did to their heart, failing to realise investing time in such thoughts is essentially allowing that person to hurt their heart all over again.

We need empathetic listeners. People who dont make us feel bad for feeling bad. Instead of saying itll get better or there’s worse pain in the world. Tell us it hurt because it mattered. Its easier to hurt when we aren’t constantly berated for it. #MentalHealthAwareness #counsel

Ok here’s a hot take. When you celebrate bare minimum behaviour and applaud men for being decent humans & consider the woman to be “lucky” to receive that basic love and care he owes her you lower standards. You enable the behaviour of abuser’s, narcissists and toxic men.

Satan, in Islamic cosmology, was the first being to create sectarianism.He claimed superiority over other creations of Allah on the basis of lineage,creed & bodily composition. The deep divide between different ‘sects’ of Muslims today is Satans ultimate victory over the Ummah.

#Recovery is not about never being sad again or never relapsing again or never struggling again. Recovery is a mindset. Recovery is changing the way you think so that when you feel sad or relapse or begin to struggle again, you know how to cope with it.
