ما قيمة هذه الدنيا التي تتعلقون بها ؟ 

What is the value of this world that you cling to?

“Hardship is a prelude to relief, affliction is a prelude to well-being, and intense fear is a prelude to security. It is from Allah’s established way that these beneficial and beloved things are often reached only through the doors of their opposites.”

-Madarij As-Salikin by Imam Ibn Qayyim.

[rawanly]

"The wise person should know with certainty that everything comes to an end. There are things that will inevitably happen and there are things that will not happen, and the creation has no means to change it. So if times become difficult, then you must wrap yourself with an izar (a lower garment) that has two ends: patience and acceptance, in order to receive the full blessing for that action. How often did it seem like the whole world had been afflicted with difficulty only to be followed by ease in less than a moment?"

I cherish my solitude, but sometimes I wish I had someone whose arms I could fall into.

i get the feeling people want to hate on abusers more than they want to support and help survivors

furthermore once u stick the landing on the whole "being yourself" thing people respect you a great deal for it. not to mention of course how they then realize its possible for themselves, now that they have it tangible in front of them. it can happen here

how life feels when your antidepressants kick in and give you the serotonin you deserve in order to be a functioning human being in society

i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

Hey do you know what rumination is?

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:
