Why are you interested in Islam?

For many reasons

with the increasing prejudice in the world, I figure it’s best to educate myself so I can learn and grow. It’s also always interested me, but I have always been too afraid to research and learn more because of aforementioned prejudice. And also I wasn’t sure how to learn, as a lot of resources have bias or clear hatred towards Islam. 

I don’t want to be limited to what I hear from others, because all of the views I have heard from are clouded. And I know that’s wrong.

Still trying to get together funds

Because I missed work so much due to a PSTD attack and several suicide attempts we can’t afford to get anything for my kids. That was made worse from by a vet bill due to my cat getting a bad bladder infection. So far I basically only have $30, which isn’t much between 3 kids. If anyone is able to help make their Christmas a good one then here’s the link to my kofi. -Abby

I’m sorry, I know everyone hates posts like these but I’m desperate and feeling horribly guilty because my mental health ruined my kid’s holiday. Heck, we didn’t even get a proper Thanksgiving meal because we couldn’t afford a turkey. Any help is appreciated and so are good vibes our way. -Abby

The outpouring of good wishes are enough to help me keep up the hope.

Thank you. I am trying so hard to better myself, but this situation has hit me hard. -Abby

You need a rest. You need empty moments in which you tolerate your anxiety and circling thoughts until they slow down and stop circling. You need slow, quiet activities that ground you and remind you to accept yourself in spite of huge obstacles and bad thoughts. You need to put solutions out of your mind for now, and engage in activities that have nothing to do with your ego. You need habits that strengthen your patience and focus, but also feel real and not arbitrary. You need to abandon your glorious future and build your imperfect present instead.
