Relation with my brother

I have an older brother who never stepped up as a leader. He wants to sit lazy and take advantage of me and my money. Keeps pressuring my mom for the money and she listens to him and doesn't gives him lesson of right and wrong. He has been taking my advantage since childhood and making sure he provides nothing for the house and does the else work and throwing everything on my shoulder.

He is toxic and plays the victim when he needs money. I am a guy and I am just stuck between this mom and son story and my mom pressuring me all the time to help and support his lazy ass and stubborn mind. What do you advise me?

strong brave guy in the eyes of this world

I am a strong brave guy in the eyes of this world ,but deep inside this is what I'm thinking....

Can I let myself forget what you told me?

Can I let myself forget what you made me do?

Do I have to struggle another night to pass?

Do I have to lie to myself tonight as well (that it didn't happen)

Jade's role for the rest of the series

I think Jade's role is over, he has added what he can in the show, and inside the cave he will be left behind while Tabitha will get out alive

Is it just me, or is door-holding etiquette completely broken?

I hate when this happens... I hold the door open for someone entering a cafe or restaurant out of politeness. They walk right through, thanks to me, and then immediately rush to stand ahead of me in the ordering queue (line).

What kind of behavior is this? If I let you through the door first, it shouldn’t mean you steal my spot in line..it happened too many times..did it happen with you and shall I talk to them about it or let it go?

My last hurts me and I have a perfect end game plan for myself, but it seem I can't do it due to my family ..it's a resistance within myself.

The Dream I had from childhood: From Panic to Diamonds

​

I have been having a recurring dream since I was a child. It has followed me for over 25 years, morphing and changing its form as I’ve grown, but the core feeling stays the same.

It started out as pure stress. I had a single tooth loose usually one of the top front ones. In the dream, I will hold it, terrified and anxious, feeling it rock back and forth, desperate not to lose it.

​

As the years went on, the dream evolved:

Phase 1: The loose, wobbling tooth and intense anxiety.

Phase 2: The tooth actually being extracted or pulled out while I try to touch it

Phase 3: Multiple teeth going loose at once, moving all the way to the back.

​

But recently, the final version took a strange, beautiful turn. The entire tooth fell out directly into my hand... and the moment it landed, it turned into diamonds...

I never used to think much about what it meant, but after a quarter of a century, I am starting to wonder.

Pls share your theories here

Looking for online friends as I can't make in real life

i am male, feeling down and I think I fon't have much time in my life, I don't think I can connect with someone younger even close to my age thats cos I think I'm getting old

​

I feel I am more interested in others than myself

​

I feel I don't have any friends or ability to make friends that are closed ones so I'm searching them online

​

I am extremely afraid of judgement and don't open up easily unless it is online

​

I feel like I am bored all the time

;

I am not looking for anything sexual but just a close friendship...i want to meet someone who is cheering , able to share about them and listen to me. Maybe I'm asking for too much

Talk about mental health: Is it a lack of Faith, or Do we need both prayer and Therapy?

Hi everyone,

Sorry this post is in English as my Arabic is not the best

​

I wanted to open up a discussion on a topic that effects so many in our community, yet often gets with standard, repetitive advice.

Whenever someone in our community opens up about struggling with severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression, the most common response they receive is: "pray more", "read more Quran" etc.

While there is no doubt turning to Allah brings immense peace and is a foundation of the believer's life. But why do we often treat spiritual remedies and professional therapy if they are mutually exclusive?

There is a difference in a person breaking a leg, than the person suffering from diabetes than the person suffering from mental health challenges.

Incase of a person breaking a leg taking medicine we don't tell them to pray but ask them to go to the doctor while when the illness effects the mind, brain chemistry, or emotional well being, the advise suddenly changes to being purely spiritual.

  1. What do you think about why there is a hesitant to recommend therapy alongside prayer?

  2. How can we better help people don't feel guilty for needing professional psychological help?

​

Looking forward to you insights!
