“I come back and read the nice comments and my struggles seem so much less”

Assalamualaikium,
This is the sister that posted the reflection. I would just like to say JazakaAllah to all that have replied to my posting. Your words of advice are more than you can imagine to me. I dont really share my feelings with anyone and was feeling overwhelmed one day and decided to post on here. I feel humbled that by sharing my story others were willing enough to share theirs to help me,. I really appreciate the personal story that was shared in the second comment, not to undermine the rest but it means a lot that you felt so strongly as to share your own story. I am also very thankful to everyone else that commented. Reading your comments and realizing that it did take strength for me to stop cutting and to ackowlendge that I am worth it really helped me see that I have grown and am still capable of growth. I could not be more grateful to everyone who took the time out to post something in hopes of making me feel better, since I do not know any of you personally and viceversa, I think that is the most beautiful thing about this website. Also I just wanted to say a major thanks to all of you for saying youll make a dua to me. I cried when I read that, it is the nicest thing a person can do for someone. I am still struggling today, but I come back to this page and read the nice comments made by everyone and my struggle seems so much less. I have talked to a counselor in the past and also have been on medications on and off. I stopped talking to a counselor a while back, and also started and dropped my medication as well without a doctors consent. I have learned how harmful this can be to your body, so I intend on going back to the doctor this week i’A and getting medication again, in high hopes that it will help. thank you again to everyone . If I feel the need to talk to a therapist again I definitely will consult this page.
