Depressed Doctors - A Silent Affliction

[جوري]

I was looking in amazon.. I am not very sophisticated at all when it comes to food.. they had a zillion type, hulled, mulled, pearled, 'unmlled', organic, and just plain barley water or lemoned barley water..
I am going to have to ask my mom, she probably knows about this stuff..

Jazaki Allah khyran..

woh whats up sis?

Keep strong sis, just think The Almighty has your back and InshAllah you'll be alright :shade::thumbs_up

Think about stuff which gets you fired up; for me its stuff like victory for muslims, the massive muslim brotherhood we have, the Might and Power of Allah, formula one lol.

Greetings and peace be with you Gossamer skye;

I am so sorry to hear about your physical problems, sometimes it seems, that when we worry about these problems, they become worse.

Here is a simple yet powerful prayer, it is about striving to accept things that cannot be changed now, and striving to change how we cope.

Lord grant me the peace and serenity to live with the things I cannot change
Give me the courage to change the things I can.
And grant me the wisdom to know the difference.

To understand how the prayer works here is how one lady used it whilst living in London during the second world war. Most days London was being bombed, she had no control over were the bombs would land. She would hear about; and see the death and destruction; she might be killed, her family might be killed, her home or work or shops might be bombed. Yet every day she had to get up, feed herself and her family, and do some work.

The first line of the prayer, grant me the peace and serenity to live with the things I cannot change.
She had to live with all the injustice, fear, anger, hate, death and destruction surrounding her, she has no control where the bombs will land. She could not change what happened yesterday, she cannot change other people. If you continually want to change; or try to change the things that cannot be changed you can make yourself ill.

Give me the courage to change the things I can.
The only thing she could change was herself and what was going on in her own heart and mind. Somehow she would have to keep striving and coping or crack up, she did not know how long this destruction would last. Despite all the problems she directed her prayer to finding peace in her heart.

Give me the wisdom to know the difference.

The last line of the prayer is something you have to work out for yourself , you need to search for the real things that you can change; and strive to live with loving kindness with all the things you cannot change.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a great mystery; Lord help me to live this day and every day knowing that you hold me in the palm of your hand.

In the spirit of praying for an inner peace that Surpasses all understanding

Eric

Jazaka Allah khyran everyone (sorry I didn't notice all those extra posts) thank you :smile:
I found this SR. A.

insha'Allah it is the correct one.. I am going to get it and start this remedy right away.. I do love honey so I'll sweeten it with that insha'Allah..

 

[Muhammad]

Here's what it says in the book:

[FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold][FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold]A[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold][FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold][FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold]NOTHER REMEDY FOR DISTRESS IS CERTAIN KINDS OF FOOD[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) reports that ‘Aa’ishah used to order talbeen for people who were sick or had been stricken by tragedy, and she would say: "I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]‘Talbeen warms the heart of the sick person and alleviates some of a person’s grief.’[/FONT]" ​

Al-Bukhaari also narrated from ‘Aa’ishah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that whenever a member of her family died, and the women gathered together then dispersed, except for her family and close friends, she would ask for a pot of talbeen, then she would cook it, make thareed [a dish of sopped bread, meat and broth] and pour the talbeen over it, then tell the women: [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]"Eat from it, for I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say that talbeen is the cure for the heart of the sick person and alleviates some of a person’s grief."[/FONT]​

Talbeen is a soup or broth made from flour or bran to which honey is added. It is called talbeen because it resembles milk (laban). It is cooked from ground barley.​

Saying that it is a cure for the heat of the sick person means that it relaxes him, gives him energy and alleviates his grief and distress.​

Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) reported that ‘Aa’ishah said: "Whenever the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) heard that someone was sick or in pain, and not eating, he would say: [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]‘You should make talbeen and let him sip it. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it will cleanse the stomach of any one of you just as you wash the dirt from your faces with water.’[/FONT]" ​

Al-Tirmidhi reported that ‘Aa’ishah said: "Whenever any member of his family fell ill, he would order that soup or broth be made for them, then he would tell them to sip it. He used to say, [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]‘It makes the grieving heart strong and cleanses the heart of the sick person, just as any of you cleanses the dirt from her face with water.’[/FONT]" ​

Even though some people might find this strange, this is a true matter, as it has been proven to be part of the Revelation conveyed by the infallible Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Allaah has created all kinds of food, and He knows best their characteristics, so the soup of barley mentioned in the hadeeth is one of the types of food that make people feel better. And Allaah knows best.​

With regard to the method of cooking this food for the person who is physically sick or whose heart is stricken with grief, Ibn Hijr (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]"What suits the sick person is the water from barley that has been cooked whole, and what suits the grieving person is the water from ground barley that has been cooked. And Allaah knows best." [/FONT]​

Jazaka Allah khyran Muhammad for taking the time to give me new and detailed responses and everyone else I am truly grateful for your du3a and support it is helping more than I can express in words..

I'd like to know if there are any sisters who do hijmah privately who live in NYC or know of a place that I can go to for that sort of treatment?

 

[Karina]

Oh Skye, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way - really, genuinely concerned. I'll be thinking of you while you wait for your test results.

Depression kind of runs in my family unfortunately, and although it's a very broad term for a multitude of symptoms, the point is, I know full well it feels like it may never end - like you'll never feel 'normal' again.

I really hope your test results come back clear, that it's not a sign of any underlying problem, and that you can start to feel better soon. Hopefully the warmer weather of Spring will give you the boost you need and lift the dark cloud you're clearly under at the moment.

Sending you warmest wishes and hugs,
K x
