I'm so done.
السلام عليكم
First of all, Ramadan Mubarak, everyone. I hope everyone's doing well this Ramadan.
This is, like, my sixth mental heath post here and, honestly, I'm not quite sure why I even bother anymore.
I've been trying to get back up on my feet, honest to God. I've been going to a therapist, been trying to do some external activities, the whole thing. Nothing's worked so far. I feel tired, alone, isolated.
Recently, I've begun self-harm, which I've told a few of my very close friends. That did absolutely nothing. One of them just freaks out and gets super worried whenever he sees me, and it makes me horrible as a result.
Then, there's the romanticisation of anorexia. I've been anorexic before Ramadan, eating, maybe once a day, a meal so light that my daily intake would be over a thousand calories less than maintenance.
I'm bleeding, right now, literally and figuratively. I know this Ramadan's gonna pass by without me doing anything, and I just can't do it. I can't forgive myself. I hate everything about me, and I'm really not sure why Allah keeps me alive.
I'm too tired to pick myself up again. I don't want to do anything. There's this mental block that makes me want to shrivel up and die and, frankly, I wouldn't mind that anymore. I deserve whatever punishment comes my way.
I'm not quite sure why I'm writing this - maybe to get my thoughts out to a group of like-minded people - but it doesn't matter anyhow.
Don't bother trying to help: I'm a lost cause. Oh, and don't bother reaching out to suicide hotlines. There's no service for that here.
Anyway, thank you for your time. Ramadan Mubarak, again, and take care.
