The gloomy thread

[Alpha Dude]

You may reach a point where you stop caring about what it is that's bothering you along with everything and anything on top of that. You don't care about yourself, your health, your sanity. You want all things to overcome you. You have partial desires to be recklessly and completely destroyed. Although you hold on by a thread and know deep down that you won't let go, no matter what.

You feel cold. You curl up and let out voiceless cries and pleads of help to Allah. You are overcome by sleep. Then comes a sense of relief.

Being in a cold, scary, lonely forest when it's raining and windy. You don't find it depressing in such times as there's something familiar about it. It's an external reflection of what you're feeling inside. You feel soothed.

Oh deary fairy, I believe you misplaced your fairy dust...

Here it is..Smile!

Haha, oh so thats where I left it! Thank you

So you're the gloomy fairy yet you're still "cheerful". Interesting. As one who used to find comfort in misery, I approve. ;D

It rained and thundered here all day yesterday and last night. It's not raining anymore but it's still all cloudy and grey outside.

Well, jus so you know I had forgotten to change my mood as I was feeling so down I just disappeared and did not care for it

Sunshine? Fairy dust? :hmm:


That's better.

Noooooo...

As'Salaam Alaaykum

It may be a chance to get closer to Allaah, or Allaah is calling you toward's him. Being in a cold scary place would only make some more afraid, and as for some it is soothing as mentioned.

The greatness and mercy of Allaah is beautiful, he is the ever-loving, as the messengers, and the most pious of muslimeen did, pouring their hearts out to Allaah SWT, for he is ever hearing of that which is said deep inside the hearts. As he is All hearing and he SWT knows what we do not.

You may not care about yourself, your health, your sanity, but you must begin to bring 'caring' back for the sake of Allaah, if not for your sake, atleast for the sake of Allaah SWT even though he and you know that it is of benefit to you only, bringing back the desire to please Allaah to your best abilities that he has bestowed upon us insha'Allaah till the end.

may Allaah SWT ease your affairs and increase all muslimeen in strength and grant you happiness along with the ummah in the hereafter Aameen.

I apologise if i've said anything wrong and please do correct me inshaa'Allaah, and forgive if I have misunderstood your post.

Please don't assume I'm depressed or going through some really dreadful issue of which I'm not able to overcome. It's nothing.

I find the gloomy stuff soothing under certain circumstances. I'm absolutely fine. More than fine, Alhamdulilah.

^Al hamdulillah for that! Ya Allah, Al Wali, please always keep all of my brothers and sisters safe. Ameen

a 'poem' by yours truly in honor of gloom & this thread:
entitled

'To Not Want'

It is ok not to want a new dawn
To have seen but not long for green meadows
To walk the last foot steps in the faint light of the setting sun
To find a cool shade for just one
And lie beneath starry skies without a need for incandescence
To have had a full heart that didn't discriminate for happiness
& finally close one's eye and not seek beauty...

 

[gladTidings]

^Wow

But what if theres a grizzly bear in the middle of the forest :nervous:.

I love the idea.... probably not ever on my own I would take all the IB'ers with me =P

 

[Alpha Dude]

Thank you for sharing, Bluebell. That's quite reflective.

That's the beauty of it lol. In that internal state, you don't care of the danger that is present to you.

 

[Who Am I?]

I wrote a poem once too.

That's it. That's all there is. I wrote a poem once.

Those of you expecting a clever one-liner, oh well.

You do have a way with words my brother, this post describes how I've felt since 14.

This would feel like serenity to me, somewhere, where I'd feel that I belonged. :hmm:

ah but it is moisturizing & you could always purchase the EDT spritz into the air & walk into the mist :shade:

Hmm.. I suppose I'll give it a go then, since I'd consider most of the pictures I keep on my computer to be somewhat gloomy.

Something about this one makes me contemplative... Dunno if that counts, but here you go:

Sunsets count as kinda gloomy, right? I've got a ton of sunset pictures...

I love any variation of the "lonely tree" picture... But I'll just post that one for now. : Hopefully you guys will consider these pics gloomy... I noticed that they're kinda different from what others have posted, so I might just have a different idea of what gloomy means...

Your idea of gloom is a little tame but these pics do invoke a more contemplative mood, yes.

Noooooo...

I think this would be better :statisfie

And i guess i finally have someone who believe "Fairy tales do come true" :statisfie

Back to Topic :sunny:

My collection is a little different coz i hate dark but you can find the effect of sadness in these pictures.

I like to spend my time in places like these when im sad and depressed.
