The Positive Side Of Mental Illness

I know lots of people seeing people with mental illness as 'maskin or psychopaths' but a-lot of this is fed to you thru the movies and sheet TV and the MEDIA reports on mentally ill. Now this is called 'stigma' and it's not just Somali but the mentally ill are stigmatized world wide in every culture and society since ancient till modern time.

Even in the western world you will find 'stigma' still prevailing with some professors not willingly to approve for release to academia world people with mental illness backgrounds on whatever research topic they're doing. So there is a-lot of negatives being mentally ill but there is 1 postive I found. I can actually be 'me' without worrying about any 'retialation' online or in public.

U may ask why. I am mentally ill dee, I don't have to pray, fast, do none of that since maskaxdayda 'taam' ma aha. Infact I can be free to unleash all my views, evidences against Islam and not be touched either locally or in public. How can they touch me, I mentally un-sound. So being free from religious responsibility is a great point plus it allows me to be honest and frank and at the same time if Allah exists and I am wrong 'great' because I am 'mentally ill' how can he judge me? I don't need to practise religion niyahow, waxan uu dhigma 'sakiir' dhinaca illahi. Heck if I commit a crime when I am unwell, the court system also has to dismiss the case, ma jiro punishment.

U can't punish someone who is in hallucination and not of sound mind. But their are periods where I am normal like now, if I did commit a crime, I would be tried before a court of law. But the amount of time I am actually 'normal' in comparison to 'ill'. Trust me u don't want to see me ill. When u see me doing those long ass essays and constant threads and I am talking to myself, I am not in a good 'space' wallahi, the forum has disappeared, its me against me

I dont see anything positive in me wanting to die but if this works for you then that's good.

I never call myself mentally ill because deep down I still see it as shameful. :mjlol:

There is some real good positives, u r free culturally niyahow and religiously to be who you want. I can travel to thailand bang hos, come back do my research paper in my academic field, unleash on somalispot my ideas, I am free of the court system as long as I am unwell. Wallahi it's got some positives that no-one talks about. Plus your free to be YOU, if I offend ppl I can just use my 'bipolar' which is true because when your bipolar you want to do something, legacy, results, ideas, inventions, etc and you start to disregard people, get rude, u start to abuse.

Is it schizophrenia? :reallymaury:

That's what they diagnosed me as that first and had me on that diagnosis for years but that is partly due to me only speaking about the hallucinations I see so they automatically thought 'psychosis' and schizoprenia. But they didn't know I am not 'scared of the hallucination, I see it as a way to 'create, invent, write long essays, my mood swings up so high in manic situation' i use it as way to study hard topics which I wouldnt be able too understand wallahi normally.

The best way to explain BIPOLAR, it's like khat, u feel extra confident, you think clearer, your more ambitious and the high lasts for days or weeks and u wont sleep like khat chewers nor eat much or shower. But once the high is over, u come crashing down to lows like khat chewers in SOMALIA. The only difference between me and khat chewer, he has to chew khat to get that 'mania' where-as for me it comes natural.

Islamically speaking though if you are concious of the wrongs that you're doing it would count as a sin. If you're in a really depressed mood or having manic episodes which would mean that you find it hard to control your emotional outburst, then naturally god is all-merciful so he will overlook it. Keep in mind that you should never take advantage of your illness.

Deep down I think Allah punished me with it, it's tough illness wallahi and sometimes u need to look at the up side because the amount of time you are 'normal' state compared to 'low and high' is like 10% of your life-time. Maybe Allah is lessening my normal 'state' time so my sins can be forgiven, who knows, I have weird theories but wallahi, I do not fear religion anymore that's why I want to critique it as much as possible, where-as someone who is normal like u, I can see your 'underlying fears' spiritually, culturally, etc but that is simply not there for me anymore

I feel you on that punishment. I feel like Allah is punishing me too. Everyday is different. One day I'll wake up happy thinking that I can achieve everything in the world and after an hour or so I would get depressed again. It's an endless cycle that I can't seem to break.
Yours seems worse, I pray that you become healthy again. I would be a hypocrite If I started quoting ayahs and hadiths because I struggle to pray and keep my connection to Allah.

It could be 'committment' problem, I struggle with that. I have great ideas, visions, goals, and even 'testable and provable to work' but I refuse to 'commit' ama 'go'an' gaadho kkkk and I remain in that cycle of low and high. Study committment it's the most important aspect of life, waa inay ka soo 'go'da' markeedi hore wat u wanna do or else it's pointless anything u do afterwards. I have huge problem around 'committment' so with my therapist we are going to explore my fears around this, u know I do attend 'therapist' niyahow, each fortnight?

Always take care of yourself mentally, physically, spiritually. Do not fall into the trap of denial and creating images in public, you only going to hurt yourself and live an unsatisfied life, you may even hurt your family, work, community, you will feel disempowered and all that

As a crazy person, wouldn't the ability to freely speak your mind without repercussion come at the cost of not being listened to?

Yeah they dismiss u quickly in society family, friends, workplace, study, that's why it's paramount you learn the art speaking 'proof' and 'evidence' and say how can u 'dismiss' this you fucking cheap c*nt using mental illness to discredit people ideas simply on the grounds of prejudice.

But I mean you are spiritually free niyahow you can't be really sent to hell ma garatay, society wise though it's not easy and there is lots of negatives. But I can sleep at night and just thank god that I don't have to spend my life worrying about judgement day, heaven, hell, etc because the time I spend in 'normal' state is so minimal, most of my life will probably be spent in bipolar unless I get better and never see the symptoms again which highly probable and in all honesty, I think in a few years that will be the case for me when I have conquered my fear of it

@Dr_Osman so you're an atheist because you're mentally ill?

I hope you have talked to a professional it's not something to be ashamed about too bad people in our community think so. Going to and seeing a therapist is just like going to see a doctor why is one seen as something to hide and be embarrassed about?

I hope you are feeling alright, may Allāh bless you.

I see therapist once a fortnight and I attend 'recovery school' which is quite unique and run by mentally ill people who recovered and successful in life(most bipolar ones I seen are academics ironically phd types) lol cause we just love writing I guess because of that 'manic state' you go in, it needs to be released the ideas, theories, visions, etc.


PS - I love to empower other Somalis such as mentor, coach becuz deep down I don't see me ever using my own ideas, I want to see them 'run' with it because they may have stronger 'committment' level then I!!!!! marka it's useless I let my 'provable solutions' for Somalis just die out because of 'maseer' or 'I should do it'. The only things I dont share with them is my mental health recovery, spirituality, and 'danahayga gaarka ah' which is to 'good to share' looooooool but the things that are publically in the interests of all somalis, i try to help them

The “highs and lows” must be depressing to live with. Most people don’t know how that feels. Probably only heroin addicts. I feel for you.

There is no cure for his condition. You can only manage it.


I think his family has helped him with Quran. I know from the forums he said he attends the mosque.

SO he is half there. All he needs to do is ,, NEVER miss a day of a shower. The Jiini will reside in him if he stinks. Jiini hate water.
