<h2><strong>Example 1</strong></h2> My boyfriend is a christian and i’m a muslim, I love him so much but our parents are against it. I also can not marry him because it is against my religion. What do i do? Hirat <h3>Response</h3> Dear Hirat, can you get married without your parents’ blessing, can you live without them in your life, can you handle the strains it would put on your marriage especially when the kids start coming, how about interference from third parties? do you want your children to respect and honour you? If you feel you can’t marry him, it is foolishness staying with him. Don’t forget that we only know today, we don’t know tomorrow. If you feel you can do this, brace yourself up for the challenges. One should not date one one can not marry, it only complicates things. &nbsp; <h2>Example 2</h2> (TW) Im really scared im going to end up killing myself soon. Ive had suicidal thoughts for as long as i can remember they've always kind of been there i didnt realize it was a problem until a couple months ago when i got sent to a pyschward for suicidal thoughts. My mom found me in my closest at first she thought i was on drugs but than she noticed i was crying and she saw cuts in my arm not deep enough to kill myself just enough to harm. She was so freaked she drove me to the ER and they transferred me to this teen pyschward an hour away. I guess i never took my thoughts seriously because i always told myself i wasn't going to act out on them when i was in middle school i said i wouldn't do it because i would traumatize my younger siblings, Im the oldest out of 6. But after a while i started to realize that wasn't doing it for me anymore but i just knew i wasn't going to do it even though i didn't have a reason not to i just knew i would never do it. i figured maybe i was scared of what comes after death or maybe my commitment issues were so bad i couldn't even commit to suicide lol. I used to always cope with weed or alcohol but recently ive turned to opioids . I started taking these anti muscle spas pills that would get you high, i liked the euphoria feeling of feeling nothing of not think of just being there suspended in time i ran out of those and moved on to xanax. It started off as doing it for fun just to get high but than i started liking the fact that xanax would make u black out for periods of time and bring you back i liked not being here but being here you know.? But now im scared because this is something that im planning on doing daily if not than constantly but what if one day i like not being present in reality so much that i decide suicide isnt so bad and finally do it. I guess im not so much scared of me but what about anyone else theres a part of me that says dont be THAT kid that killed them self another part of me that says what about your siblings and your family and the other part that says EH what can you do might as well pull the trigger now young and proud whats better than that <h3>Response</h3> This looks like your parents protected you when you were younger and now you can't cope. Children who aren't so protected learn how to handle problems and when they are older they have good coping skills, also when a problem arises they know how to solve it. Taking opiods and xanax help you escape from real life, they don't help you handle it. Ask your parents to allow you to see a therapist who will give you the tools you need to face life and all of life's challenges.
