Tensed & Depressed

there r certain moments in life when u feel tensed and depressed. you feel like sharing ur feelings with someone but u can’t, even though u hav a lot of ppl around to speak with. what to do at that moment? how to cope with ur depression? Where to seek help from, after seeking from Allah?

Re: Tensed & Depressed

I'd say.. where else can you possibly look for comfort if you can't find it with Allah...
Believe me, if you talk to Allah.. really talk to Him.. He will definitely put your mind to ease. He knows everything that is worrying you.. Read alot of du'a, recite the Qur'an.. pray namaz.. Insh'Allah it will calm you down, it will help you settle everything and make up your mind about what is important in life.. also it will make you stronger in fighting the depression.. insh'Allah.
Have faith in Allah. =)

Re: Tensed & Depressed

I always pray and ask Allah(SWT) for help. I don't like to ask people for help because I only have faith in Allah(SWT). I believe he is my only helper.

Re: Tensed & Depressed

I believe that we should love everyone but trust almost no one. So be very careful who share your problems and worries with.
Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with school and what not, I talk to my husband or sister the 2 people in this world I trust more than myself.

Something my Dad told me about a year before he died..."no one will ever care for you and love you like family. No matter what you ever do wrong, no matter what ever happens, you have your family who will be there for you and stand behind you no matter what".

He was a very wise man My Dad.

First try to find out what is bothering you? Is it in your control to change the circumstances? If so, then work on it. If not, then try to let go, a little at a time.

There are special duas for stress and anxiety. Read them and salat ul hajat.

it happens, and you can write them down or anonymously on a blog if you wanted your privacy and company at the same time. I just wanted to say that it makes me happy that even in low points of life you remember that problem solves is Allah. I wish i could be more like you, coz when i am depressed i just get sullen and angry and mostly have a complaining fit when prayng. which i later on try to erase by begging forgiveness but i am terribly depressing when depressed.

Re: Tensed & Depressed

Thanks a lot everyone! it gave me comfort reading all ur replies. I felt like I have someone around who care for me. JazaakAllah.

My Rupay's worth: Everyone feels depressed at some point of their lives, some feel it everyday even. It helps to remember that today things might be like this, but u can always work towards a better tomorrow, inshallah.

Re: Tensed & Depressed

When iam depressed,i pray for a while,then i try to get some sleep..it helps..
you should try talking with your friend or someone who is close to you..
get busy with some type of positive activities that you're really interested in and focus on doing them well and keep your mind positive with good thoughts.

Re: Tensed & Depressed

Depression is not sadness. Depression is debilitating, sadness can be gotten over. If you are truly depressed you need to go to a therapist and a psychiatrist. It's a MEDICAL mental illness. Read the Quran if it makes you feel better, but with any illness seek out a doctor's help.

i av been there the thing that help me most was zikr of allah swt 99 names and durood sharif before going to sleep.
also zikr throughout the day.
and another write on peice of paper your problems and wot ever ur going through.

I hope Inshallah it helps u
