"YOU'RE NOT DEPRESSED, YOU'RE STUPID. YOUR GRANDFATHER WAS A MODEST HAFEZ!, HE'S A SHARIEF! HIS KHALWATIYA SCHOOL BEARS YOUR FAMILY NAME! YOUR FAMILY LOVES YOU! YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE DEPRESSED.
WTF?! What kind of parent tells their childe they are stupid?! I guess this is what organised religion does to people. So much for the 'religion of peace'. Islam just turns family members against each other, families against other families, tribes against other tribes, etc. Not very peaceful, innit?!
I've been battling with depression most of my life and after I converted I was told by fellow Muslimahs that depression doesn't exist. LIKE HELL IT DOESN'T EXIST!!! It's just that we acknowledge and accept that it is a part of life for many people rather than hiding it in shame for fear of besmirching the family name and honor.
