Assalamu alikum
I begin in Allah's name, the One Who blesssed me with Islam, the Most Kind, the Most Merciful. I pray Allah blessses you all, and grants you a place in Jannah tul firdos. Aameen. Masha'Allah I have read some of the posts people have put up, and it encouaged me to speak out.
I am new to this forum. I don't know anybody here, but I know you are all my Muslim brothers and sisters, and I hope that you are willing to help me. I am in a difficult situation and I don't know who to trust. Alhamduillah I trust you all.
I have been suffering from an eating disorder for a very long time. At this moment of time, I have realised that I need help. Previously, I saw two counsellors, who I thought could help me. I never got the help I wanted. I struggled very hard, and still do. I know there is something missing in my life, ISLAM. I want to get better, I really do, and I have decided to do 'self - help', but I got alot of stick from other people. For example one of my friends said that i couldn't do that, and i needed to see a professional. I disagree, and no one seems to understand. I have thought about what I want - i.e to recover from this eating disorder, and i have so much faith in Islam, and i know Islam/ Allah will help me get better. The problem is why doesn't anyone think i can do it. Am i doing the right thing? I ask myself all the time, I know i am though, because Islam has all the answers, doesn't it???
I am finding it very hard to write this, so i am going to cut it short. Is it worth recovering??? Can i ask, does anyone know of any du'as etc, i can read when i feel reallly low? How can Islam help me get better mentally?? Can anyone help me, even if you wrote one word, it would be a great help, just so i know, there are people who do care.
Jazka'Allah for reading my post. It means alot to me. I pray Allah keeps you all happy. Aameen.
Wassalam.
