I Can't Believe It, I Have A Friend...

[Monsieur]

Walahi mental illness is a big problem in our community. How many brothers I know that have mental issues that remain untreated.

Theres one somali guy in my area. He strolls the local area, where there are shops, masjid, basic community stuff. I come across him twice, once he pulled a knife on me and another time I come out the masjid and he said to me 'oi wanker why u going mosque? when ur about to go home and watch porn', that was his exact words, i started laughing thinking he was joking . I knew the guy was ill, but was still in shock man. Some focked up shit man.

Sorry but

I know it seems funny, but true story walle. I thought the guy was joking, only to later see he was mentally sick.

Everybody must know of someone or have a story about about another so Allah ha cafiiyo those that are suffering from any ilness inakana ilaahay ha ino sahlo.

balance your life, get full sleep, work or go to school, have goals in life, exercise and eat healthy. go to the mosque, have friends. limit the time you spend on internet, tv and video games.

military-mind,

haa ku macaanto iga dhaf, are you going to tell us how they can get better? I have you seen the case I was talking about, and do you know anyone that got better?

Nobleman,

Is the guy your talking about kinda of chubby? I saw one on the bus, and he kept speaking Loudly and went, 'your all quite now, 'shook-up init.' I didnt know he was Somali tell I heard him say, 'Hayaay futo.' ilaaheeyo haa naa waalin.

Wow amazing. not only was He not getting ANY sleep, He was not socializing with anybody. He had one roomate he barely talked to, and He spent A LOT of time alone away from people.

But how are hunter-gatherers able to weather life’s storms so effectively? Based on the available research, it seems that the hunter-gatherer lifestyle is profoundly antidepressant. As they go about their daily lives, they naturally wind up doing things that keep them from getting depressed, things that change the brain more powerfully than any medication. These range from exercising regularly and eating plenty of omega-3 fats to belonging to active social networks and getting enough sleep.
