i've considered all your previous answers but i cant make any promises on this one
i dont know what causes me to do that. i'll just usually find myself doing that. i've tried the idea of chewing gum, but as soon as it looses flavour, i'll swallow it up. which is even worse. i cant controle it:heated: i just want to be eating something 24/7. i have to carry emergency chips with me. at times i even secretly put a potato in my bag...and i've been caught:embarrass
my hands dont look nice anyway. i've been a dishwasjer for over a year. i've got rashes on my hands and often scrap off my skin. and i've got those white patches on my nails too. tbh, i dont even care. especially when it comes to peoples view about it. i'm currently working as a helper for a cook, so i've started playing with KNIVES too. well ...now i've got scars too!
so caring about how my hands look is sooo out of convenience.
i tried dhikr too. doesn't really seem to work out. again, i'd find myself biting my nails and lost count.
self-controle....is something sooo unattainable for me. outta ma league! unless it is haram.
thats very nice

i cant speak to my mom nicely tbh. i've tried to stay quite lately though and i do whatever she asks for, everything. she never talks to me nicely. i ask her for something, she asks me to get it myself. i want her permission for something, she asks me to go to hell.
not a day has passed for years when she didn't curse my brother and i, prayed that we die and let her live in peace. i dont understand why she adopted me when she didn't love me, or knew she couldn't afford it.
every other day our neighbours complain about how much they're tired of the noise coming out of our house. she and my brother verbally abuse each other every other day.
this happens every midnight, ruining my sleep. i already have to wake up at 04 30 for prayers and then recite quran and head on for work and then school, then work again then blah blah blah. but who cares?? they dont.
i try to stop them. at times by asking them to listen to each other. or take ones side so the other stays quite, or at times they both turn up against me.
whats worse is the only thing my mom is concerned about is i stay away from islam. well actually i've been in loads of trouble because of it, so i dont blame her. but i hate how she wants me to get educated in a private school because she was a spoiled rich kid. she suffered because of it and she thinks the only reason for me and my brother living is we get loads of money, otherwise she's going to her mom in america or dad in australia and we can go to hell.
i guess i should stop now. i couldn't lie i respect her, i mean talk to her nicely. but ONLY because islam says so, i've been trying to stay quite. i silently do whatever she asks me to do. that has kind of helped in stopping her everyday cursing in spanish but ...
i guess thats a very extensive topic and not what i'd like to discuss here. although we dont have that normal human connection i hate talking about her that way. and if someone mentions her in bad words, i really cant take it.
thanks for the advice.
