Blessings, Battles, and Becoming

So it's been almost 6 years since my last post ðŸ˜…

So much has happened, yet much stayed the same. The biggest change is probably... I'm not a mother of sons anymore, I now have a daughter ðŸ¥¹ It completely changed my life upside down. I'm saying oh my God yes it's really hard, BUT it is also a joy and a blessing that I am everyday grateful to Allah for. Alhamdulillah bi ni'mati tatimush shalihat. Love you, Naira 😘

So why am I on here? Yep, you guessed it. I'm on social media detox. On my previous detoxes it was only the most frequent socmed I use (ehem, IG), but now I uninstalled them all: IG, FB, TikTok (though the 2 I rarely use). Why?

Remember my last post about me having anxiety and dark days during Covid? Well it creeped again and this time I couldn't handle it without a professional, considering so much was at stakes this time in regards to family and work commitments. So yeah, I sought professional help and it was confirmed I had diagnosis that required me to be medicated. I'm not comfortable telling the whole story yet so I'll probably just post bits to help me cope with it without explaining myself (since I don't have to anyway), since writing is a form of therapy. I know it'll be a long road, it's not an easy one, I'm dealing with everything that comes with it, the effect of the illnesses and also the effects of the medication. But I'm generally happy and relieved taking that brave step to help myself, so the "side effects" I'm sure will wear off with time, and I'll get better and in remission of all the meds (including the ones I've been taking almost 6 years for) in the near future. AAMIIN 🤲
