I am Christian, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call you three my sisters. You are each insightful, beautiful, and poised. God bless the important work that this series is doing.
After losing my mum, high functioning depression put me through law school..When I graduated...i crumbled.....i walked myself to the nearest mosque for counselling...cried to a stranger for hours...it helped..Alhamdullilah
I have had depression since I was 13 years old and I am now 35. It's clinical depression, a chemical imbalance. I can't change what it is. I have tried so many different things to try and 'fix' myself. But I still have it and I have been on and off of tablets for years. I used to be one of those people who said Alhamdullilah when asked how I was. And why.... Because it makes others uncomfortable if you are honest. Especially when they don't know what depression means. Being sad is not the same as depression and this is something that a lot of people also don't understand. I really really love this series and I am looking forward to the next episode. May Allah grant you paradise for putting this out there and opening up this discussion for the sisters who may not have seeked help for fear of being classed weak. 🌸 🌸 🌸
@Steffi welcome to Islam my sister your so lucky tho and I recommend you don't have to hide your feelings it my cause further problems and make supplication for me pls💕💕
21:00 minutes in... "alhamdulillah".... "but how ARE you?".... sometimes without you asking again they don't know you REALLY want to know. "How are you?" has become a greeting like "hello" so much so that I don't generally think most people asking really do want to know. Emphasizing or reiterating it shows that you do and supports them in being more able to answer honestly.
I love you guys! Strange how the more we come to know the more pressure we end up putting on ourselves. We're all moving at turbo speed and suddenly there's no time or room for us to react. Emotional reaction is weirdly considered failing. Our bodies are designed to help us process our experiences, reacting/feeling is part of our very nature. To repress the very functions of our design will only result in destruction. It's like we have to start from the very beginning to understand what being human is in order to support each other and our state of mind
Assalamu Alaikum, Well needed series indeed, looking fwd to next episodes. When it comes to baby blues I think lack of knowledge also plays a role, husbands don’t know what their wives go through and compare them to their mums!!??...and the pressure! The pressure to be the perfect wife and the perfect daughter-in-law...May Allah help us Ameen.
I have experienced chemical imbalance all my life..it never actually goes away, meds help to push down some of the feelings but it still remains in the body often coming out as sadness, feeling isolated, like a spiral downward fall. I can say that I have been depressed, but also determined to function even though I fall into a "statistic" of medical conditioning. It is a struggle everyday..there are very great highs and very very dark lows, including suicide. It is always great to hear that others are suffering the same illness and can help one another..even though miles apart.. Thanks sisters..this is very uplifting!!!!
Jazak Allahu Khayrann sisters this conversation is so important. I pray that we all find the balance. I am no longer shy to say to family, friends, work or anyone else that I need to step back for my mental health. Just because we can't physically see it it doesn't mean it's not happening.
Suffering in in silence is not the answer but at the same time finding the appropriate help isn’t easy either, because the therapist usually speak on the western modalities in dealing with it, when the problems that as believers the ideologies clash with each other..
This pressure to b perfect and achieve alot. I feel like my husband does this to himself. He feels so much pressure to provide for me and our family and it burns him out and he doesn't give himself a break to just relax.
I agree sister that's how it is in America I told everyone day by day that scared me too to over think the pressure of achieving I am just relying on Allah doing my prayers and making plenty of dooas. I hate when someone plans even a week ahead.. "due dates" blah blah. .life is too short to feel negative and sad.
@@arnelabih1845 yes absolutely! My matto is if I wont remember it in a year then it's not a big deal. Dont sweat the small stuff...and in reality it's all small stuff. Just put your faith in Allah. And go with the flow.
Layinka was spot on when she said when you are depressed you're told read Qur'an and it will be ok ,SubhanaAllah and I know how amazing that is but at that time you don't have such a clear focus, and the only thing you crave is snap of the finger and your feeling normal. And I know so many if us still recite the Quran and do adhkar and duas to get out of it but yeah!.
Sisters i watched ur videos faithfully when they first were being released and then life happened and i lost islam and ive been struggling so much knowing i needed to come back but i havent been able to. I didnt want to “lose my life” again but something made me click on ur video on a whim today and i broke down in tears. Thank you so much for what u sisters are doing. I know my journey back to Allah will be hard but your videos gave me the courage to take that first step back. If you all could PLEASE make dua to give me strength and perseverance to stay away from everything that takes me away from islam and to make it easy for me to go back to islam in a way that is good for me and not too much for me that i cant stay in islam. Jazakallah khair sisters. I love you all for the sale of Allah. ❤️❤️❤️
When you take one step Allah runs toward you. Keep learning about this beautiful balanced religion and you will find Allah. Daniel Haqiqatjou/ Muslim Skeptic on RUclips has some very insightful work on youtube
3 minutes in and I'm in love with you girls. Been searching for a powerful group of well spoken muslim women to support on this platform that discuss issues other than marriage and makeup. Well needed and a breathe of fresh air. Feels like I'm talking to my girls.
Amazing discussion, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all of your perspectives on this & the stigma still being there in our community. May Allah reward you all for your efforts & speaking the Haqq of a major problem in our society, Ameen. Looking forward to part 2.
@17:00, thank you for sharing the reality, unfortunately these are types that boast about their accomplishments in social gatherings making majority feel they’re lacking something.
I can relate so much with Umm Raiyaan's experience subhanAllah, and alhamdulillah Solace helped me a lot through it, may Allah reward her for facilitating this service by setting his much needed organisation up for the revert community ameen. Maa shaa Allah you're more brave than me, I only admitted ages after about the dark thoughts about my children months after when I had PND, the relief when I found out it was normal to have these thoughts subhanAllah.
@@LaYinkaSanni Aww, that made my eyes fill up subhanAllah, well listening to this talk itself was quite emotional for me but also very inspirational. May Allah reward you all for talking about these taboo topics, refreshing hearing this come from the Muslim community, especially when we're often told, as mentioned, when going through these things, all you have to do is make istighfar etc and you'll be fine, or get ruqya. Most definitely in shaa Allah, especially after the help I received through Solace when I really needed it, and now through her beautiful NLP course Allahumma barak, she'll definitely be in my duas in shaa Allah.
Masha Allah sisters I really liked and admired how nicely and self-confidently you discussed the way we can survive from depression in the context of Islam. Surely knowing and accepting how depressed we are is the first step of getting solution to our depression. if we Muslims become depressed weather it is because something bad happened to us or because of chemical imbalance in our body (clinical depression), remembering to the almighty Allah (the healer and the sustainer of here and hereafter) is how we can ease and survive our depression.
Mashallah amazing talk ladies! We need more podcasts like this, for Muslim women. Taking care of your mental health is a must and I am all for getting therapy!
Yes. Depression is a real illness Low Lows are not Depression Fear of the label Fear of the illness I can't.... I don't remember when I last brushed my teeth. The hunger pains aren't yet motivation enough to make myself eat. Failure to label it failure to accept it = denial
May Allah give you relief and help you to get out of the depression. Denial is normal but not the answer to your question. Why do you feel the way you feel? Your innermost child is fighting against you. Create awareness and forgive yourself.
Assalamoalaykum warahmatullahi! I just started watching you ladies. The very 1st video was on intamacy. Btw ladies you are all beautiful. Love from your sister in Jersey.
Well done ladies, Maa sha Allah. When did this become a thing? When we came to the west and lost the village mentality. Sumayyah said it. The scholars asking us to do dua are giving advice based on the religion. Socially we should live as communities so we pick each other up, and support each other a lot more.
I think many sisters would be reluctant to seek help because of the lack of muslim practitioners. The obvious bias that we face many times going to non muslims for health care is a deterrent.
As someone studying join that field, I would love to believe but unfortunately, I agree. But, I disagree with there just being prejudice for Muslims its there for anyone who is too far outside the accepted norm I see it in my own country and society. As human beings, I fear we are too divisive and judgemental. To inspire change, we have to change that is our only hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Assalamualaikum. Beautiful talk. Will watch part 2 soon. The word depression is something which I never thought I would fall under but I did. I have been through it and I'm accepting the fact I have. With Allah Azza wa Jals help first and foremost and the help of my family I managed to get through it. It's something which comes upon you and you dont know what it is until you accept it yourself. It completely deters your Iman, your life and everything else which makes you, you. But Subhanallah it was test in itself and I came out of it stronger than I was originally. Alhamdulillah x
Depression is sadness. We all experience sadness aka feeling down. It is always a good idea to speak with someone you trust and who is knowledgable. Manic depression incapacitates. You are unable to perform normal daily tasks. This requires professional attention. especially if it lasts.
I think the reason why we're bringing us under pressure and want to reach this and that and this and thant is because we were born into a capitalistic system, which is injecting us the feeling of concurring... But Allah azza wa jal and His messanger, Peace and Blessings upon him, telling us to be modest, always to be modest and even non-muslim are striving for this the new "trend" of a life as a minimalist
I have had depression for a long time, I used to have bad thoughts Subhanallah people will see me as a normal person, hard working, cute lady intelligent woman but, no one aware really what I am suffering from? Used to work at the same time study finally, I hate my job and resign because of depression and no one was there for me to provide me living. I lost my self-esteem, self-care ,love and I feel worthless of living. My face turns reddish,through I never seek for help... I always said to self "Muna you have an Imaan you can't suffer from depression " go pray and make du'a that's it. Chapter close
Salam sister's I sincerely appreciate this conversation. This debut is truly true we always try To hide our depression And sometimes you truly need help in and nobody understand you Which is true and the Muslim societie when you talk about Depression all the tell you Your eman is not strong
Subhan Allah exactly that im feeling like u sister. How u feeling now? Hope u doing well. I always blame my self & said may be my iman is dawn. May be im not doing the right thing so & so. Even its shame to talk to our muslim sis bc they dont understand what we going through. Even its enough to be stressed to live in the western. Oh Allah pls help us to go through ameen
I've had this problem and alhamdulillah just recently feel like I'm getting out of it. The issue is I had no one to speak to that was helpful. The person I seeked help through, may Allah forgive her, had good intentions, but prolonged the recovery because she made me feel like it was something I was doing to myself. She initially helped but later unintentionally made it worse by(same as was mentioned) made me feel like my Iman wasnt enough. The question is HOW can we find help that is Islamicly driven?
Thanks for sharing your expercince. I wish our muslim coumminty talk about more mental health so people don't feel shame. Bc it can be happen to anyone. I WISH CAN TALK TO YOU GUYS PERSONAL IN PRIVATE IF U R WILLING. JZKAKLLAH
Masha Allah Iam taking more advancing to encourage about the language and how to debate, analysing and to gain more information the topics both of them Allah give him mercy and to add the weight of immunity my sister's
Assalomu alaykum rohmatullohi va barokatuh. I am wondering why you stopped posting new episodes. I have joined recently this channel. Thank you for useful content. I hope you will post new posts soon. May Allah bless you all🤍
There's no Village... so there is no support. Wow! Crumbling... Devastation... Balance... I am suffering... Destruction... Hurting... Chaos... High functioning Depression... Face it... Masking...Mosque-ing... I'm hurting... Labaik Allah. Labaik Allah. Here I am.
Salaam sisters! look into adding vitamin d3 and k2 these help our different mood swings, but research the vitamin first before intaking it. Also ask a doctor first if you consume other medications. Being tired, feeling lazy go hand and hand a lot of times due to the different task we take on day by day, guess what your not alone, you might just be a little over burdened.. its a possibility.
This is so profound.... what do u do when your surroundings are not going to support you? Sadly in indian cultures u cant even talk about it...if u try, ul be told oh suck it up n get on with it. Basically 1 would be expected to deal with it alone. What do u do when u are desperate for emotional support from your example, parents or spouse or friend....how do u go about it alone?

Really... I really want to know What exactly is depression like??! I noticed i haven't been exactly happy with my situation for a while now although i still remain the jolly person that I'm. I'm very sad of how things are for me + That dark thoughts of losing my baby ( i usually have very dark thoughts). I do some weird things whenever I have those thoughts, things like acting it actually happened Like i actually lose my baby and i feel this deep sadness to the extent that i cry and most times i just have to pull myself out of it
Depressed people or people who have been through depression insist they're right and others are wrong to label their condition differently. A low low is different from clinical depression with a cloud hurting you and thinking dark thoughts. One can be low but not think dark thoughts and not be depressed. Dark thoughts about your kids terrified of losing children and self is post natal depression and anxiety. However people with low low feelings may get support from a chat with a friend.
No it's not the case that high functioning depression is not acknowledged or recognised by the individual, sometimes it is recognised when that individual is alone with his or her thoughts and emotions!..High functioning depression is portrayed in different styles and ways and despite having that high functioning ability you are still somehow not able to reach out to the help u so desperately need,and this is especially more prevalent amongst people who live alone in isolation!
At a time in my life I felt depressed and needed to talk to someone who does not know me, therapist I reached out and didn't get any help so I had a tough time but eventually I came better but wondering might it come back since I didn't deal with that aspect of my life then
sadness and sorrow is something that all humans will through, the Prophet sallaahu alaihi wassalaam was told by Allah taalaa many times do not be saddened nor sorrowed refer to Surataani Ad Dhuhaa and Al Arshah. Clearly Allah taalaa is referring to that and he sallaahu alaihi wasalaam obviously had the strongest Imaan and tawaakul in Allah Azza wa jal. And there are many cure for saddness and what ever we want to call it from Allah in His book is Quraan and the Sunnan of our beloved Prophet Muhammad. May Allah taalaa aide us to hold on to His Al Haakim book and way of the Prophet sallaahu alaihi wasalaam and guide us and aide us in always. And also if the depression is effecting that indivdual to do their daily task and etc, then of course that person much seek help. Like Sister Layinka said Allah aide those who aide themselves. So if that's includes Mental health, them they must do so and they must know that all aide and guidance and success is from Allah azza wa jal. May Allah make it easy and give us success in this life and the hereafter. Aameen Jazakunnah Allah khair for another sweet sitting make Allah taalaa bless you all and your family aameen. Your sister in Islaam.
As Salaamu Alaikum May Allah Tabarakah Wa Ta'alaa grant you all much success in this life the grave and the Hereafter. Aamiyn I suffer from depression and to be honest alot of it stems from my up bringing and my choices in life the the sins that I have acquired weigh heavily on me on my heart and affects how I handle failure or falling short growing up it was fixed into my mind that I will never be good enough. In that I feel as though I will never be god enough for Allah good enough to call myself Muslim. I've been in situations that I put myself in and I've been in situations that I didn't intentionally put myself in but at the end of the day I made the choices in my life irregardless of what the events were that led to it. Pardon if I seem all over the place. I am actually currently going through a hard time in my life I struggle with embracing life and finding joy in it .
Dear sis, ALLAH forgives all sins of the person who sincerely asks ALLAH to forgive all their sins and resolves never to repeat them. Use your sad experiences to try to help other people In halal ways, إن شاء الله You will feel much better, إن شاء الله Focus on becoming a Scholar of Islam, إن شاء الله Share beneficial knowledge with the world, إن شاء الله

I had depression with my 2nd child from 7 months up till my child was 2 months old. Yes I didn't know what it was till years later.
Should make a podcast
The key is to find balance. Beautiful talk.

Mashallah amazing talk ladies! We need more podcasts like this, for Muslim women. Taking care of your mental health is a must and I am all for getting therapy!
Yes. Depression is a real illness
Low Lows are not Depression
Fear of the label
Fear of the illness
I can't....
I don't remember when I last brushed my teeth. The hunger pains aren't yet motivation enough to make myself eat.
Failure to label it
failure to accept it = denial
May Allah give you relief and help you to get out of the depression. Denial is normal but not the answer to your question. Why do you feel the way you feel? Your innermost child is fighting against you. Create awareness and forgive yourself.
I really love this ladies! May Allah bless you all abundantly in this life and the next
Oh lord,I'm so following this series.

Subhan Allah exactly that im feeling like u sister. How u feeling now? Hope u doing well. I always blame my self & said may be my iman is dawn. May be im not doing the right thing so & so. Even its shame to talk to our muslim sis bc they dont understand what we going through. Even its enough to be stressed to live in the western. Oh Allah pls help us to go through ameen
I've had this problem and alhamdulillah just recently feel like I'm getting out of it. The issue is I had no one to speak to that was helpful. The person I seeked help through, may Allah forgive her, had good intentions, but prolonged the recovery because she made me feel like it was something I was doing to myself. She initially helped but later unintentionally made it worse by(same as was mentioned) made me feel like my Iman wasnt enough. The question is HOW can we find help that is Islamicly driven?
Im gald u got out off it? May i ask how? Could help a lot of people beside theraphy n stuff.
The light skin sister has this deep genuine spirit about her, you can actually feel her words through the video

Salaam sisters! look into adding vitamin d3 and k2 these help our different mood swings, but research the vitamin first before intaking it. Also ask a doctor first if you consume other medications. Being tired, feeling lazy go hand and hand a lot of times due to the different task we take on day by day, guess what your not alone, you might just be a little over burdened.. its a possibility.
This is so profound.... what do u do when your surroundings are not going to support you? Sadly in indian cultures u cant even talk about it...if u try, ul be told oh suck it up n get on with it. Basically 1 would be expected to deal with it alone. What do u do when u are desperate for emotional support from your example, parents or spouse or friend....how do u go about it alone?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What exactly is depression like??!
I noticed i haven't been exactly happy with my situation for a while now although i still remain the jolly person that I'm. I'm very sad of how things are for me
+
That dark thoughts of losing my baby ( i usually have very dark thoughts). I do some weird things whenever I have those thoughts, things like acting it actually happened
Like i actually lose my baby and i feel this deep sadness to the extent that i cry and most times i just have to pull myself out of it
Depressed people or people who have been through depression insist they're right and others are wrong to label their condition differently. A low low is different from clinical depression with a cloud hurting you and thinking dark thoughts. One can be low but not think dark thoughts and not be depressed. Dark thoughts about your kids terrified of losing children and self is post natal depression and anxiety. However people with low low feelings may get support from a chat with a friend.
شكراً 🌷🌷🌷
Sumeyya is American. I'm curious how she ended up in the UK.
I was thinking the same way, her accent sound very American
As salam alaikum half of this is for brothers as well

Wow Miss Aliya graceful
No it's not the case that high functioning depression is not acknowledged or recognised by the individual, sometimes it is recognised when that individual is alone with his or her thoughts and emotions!..High functioning depression is portrayed in different styles and ways and despite having that high functioning ability you are still somehow not able to reach out to the help u so desperately need,and this is especially more prevalent amongst people who live alone in isolation!

If your low mood, loss of appetite, irregular sleep, lack of concentration etc lasts for 2 weeks or longer you need to talk to a medical doctor.
Mashallah
What is depression, how does one know they have depression,
At a time in my life I felt depressed and needed to talk to someone who does not know me, therapist I reached out and didn't get any help so I had a tough time but eventually I came better but wondering might it come back since I didn't deal with that aspect of my life then
The sessions are too short x
what is the nasheed at the end please?
sadness and sorrow is something that all humans will through, the Prophet sallaahu alaihi wassalaam was told by Allah taalaa many times do not be saddened nor sorrowed refer to Surataani Ad Dhuhaa and Al Arshah. Clearly Allah taalaa is referring to that and he sallaahu alaihi wasalaam obviously had the strongest Imaan and tawaakul in Allah Azza wa jal. And there are many cure for saddness and what ever we want to call it from Allah in His book is Quraan and the Sunnan of our beloved Prophet Muhammad. May Allah taalaa aide us to hold on to His Al Haakim book and way of the Prophet sallaahu alaihi wasalaam and guide us and aide us in always. And also if the depression is effecting that indivdual to do their daily task and etc, then of course that person much seek help. Like Sister Layinka said Allah aide those who aide themselves. So if that's includes Mental health, them they must do so and they must know that all aide and guidance and success is from Allah azza wa jal. May Allah make it easy and give us success in this life and the hereafter. Aameen Jazakunnah Allah khair for another sweet sitting make Allah taalaa bless you all and your family aameen. Your sister in Islaam.
As Salaamu Alaikum
May Allah Tabarakah Wa Ta'alaa grant you all much success in this life the grave and the Hereafter. Aamiyn
I suffer from depression and to be honest alot of it stems from my up bringing and my choices in life the the sins that I have acquired weigh heavily on me on my heart and affects how I handle failure or falling short growing up it was fixed into my mind that I will never be good enough. In that I feel as though I will never be god enough for Allah good enough to call myself Muslim. I've been in situations that I put myself in and I've been in situations that I didn't intentionally put myself in but at the end of the day I made the choices in my life irregardless of what the events were that led to it. Pardon if I seem all over the place. I am actually currently going through a hard time in my life I struggle with embracing life and finding joy in it .
Dear sis, ALLAH forgives all sins of the person who sincerely asks ALLAH to forgive all their sins and resolves never to repeat them. Use your sad experiences to try to help other people In halal ways, إن شاء الله
You will feel much better,
إن شاء الله
Focus on becoming a Scholar of Islam,
إن شاء الله
Share beneficial knowledge with the world,
