    Other parts of the site say if you break a fast give to charity.  But does that not make a poor ill person poorer?  As they are ill they are a charitable cause and can keep their own money!

    I have been wseing nhs health advice on this.  Barts and Leicester NHS have prominent sites.

    I wonder whether a formal review of the advice is needed as it feels too pro fasting.

    The worst thing is all these people are getting their health advice from "clerics" and "scholars".

    I don't think they understand that these dudes are not trained dieticians or doctors.

    Think there is a little too much 'respect for people's faiths' and not enough focus on respect for people.

    To be fair, it's not just Muslims and Ramadhan. There are a lot of anti-science, and by extension anti-nutrition, people out there. Just leave them to their own devices, they'll figure it out eventually.

    The day before yesterday I forgot to save some coffee in my travel mug to drink yesterday. Then I slept in, which always makes my head go fuzzy, and didn't drink any water for 6 hours because I went to the park with my brother. This resulted in a fucking headache where I couldn't keep my eyes open without feeling like my head would explode. I ended up vomiting, luckily I could pull that off without anyone seeing what came out of my stomach (because I had eaten a banana and a granola bar before). When all that was gone, I started vomiting bile and stuff. It felt like my stomach was turned inside out, each time I felt that urge. At that point I told my mom and brother and they all felt really bad for me.

    I'm never making that mistake again. I'm glad Ramadan is almost over, but if I still have to pretend fast this weekend, I'm buying some Iced coffees to keep in my room.
    The future is full of thrilling possibilities.

    Only 4 more days! This month has been such a struggle...I cannot wait until it is over...even though I didn't fast....I pretended to fast and ate a lot at night (so I didn't really eat much during the day)....I feel like my metabolism is so out of whack...

    The worst part by far was having to eat dinner with my parents every night....I'm so tired of following everything they want and not able to express my opinions or thoughts because they go against what they think....yesterday I got in a bit of an argument with my mom after iftar...my dad was glaring and giving my sister dirty looks during dinner because he didn't want her to go out with her friends after....at first my mom agreed to let her go but when she found out my dad disapproved she changed her mind. It's like she cannot think for herself....my dad was very abusive emotionally with her so I think she just gave in and is now a robot and has no identity for herself...."if she can't beat em' join em" which is sad because she used to stand up for me.

    4 more days...I just have to keep my mouth shut and try to forget about my resentments....but I was thinking the other day...how long am I going to have to put up with this crap? Until they die? I feel like I'm never going to be free....and this Ramadan has almost been my breaking point....yesterday at iftar I just wanted to tell them exactly what was on my mind...and what I think about the religion...and that I've been hiding my relationship with my Jew boyfriend from them for over two years and that we want to get married and that I don't give a fuck if they approve or not....and then just leave and never come back.

    I'm just starting to have so much anger and I don't even know why....I'm not even close to having pms

    Hugs.

    You need to get away as soon as possible; some distance.

    Are your siblings old enough for you to do that as they can keep contact with you regardless of what parents are like?

    Keep coming here and make sure you do.

    They would just not leave. And if one of them sleeps it's in front of the AC right next to the kitchen. It's like they camp there.

    Thanks, Lilyesque....I do have support from my BF and his family....also I have a therapist who's been helping me get through it and my boss is extremely supportive and knows my situation...but it's still hard. My siblings are just like my parents...they are all younger than me.....two boys (one 27 living with his wife, one 25 still living at home cause he isn't married) and one sister aged 16. They all side with my parents so I pretty much can't confide in them....they have gotten the idea that I don't believe in Islam and have called me out on it...so now I have to be extra careful about what I say and do. I'm trying to get out of the house...I'm actually planning an escape right now when I tell them that I want to marry my BF because I know they will go into a rage...but I have to find a place to live which isn't as easy as I thought it would be...I'm just sooooooo tired of compromising my happiness just to please my parents. I feel so dead inside...and I really was planning on suicide after I withdrew from medical school because I saw no other way out unless I married a Muslim man....but luckily my BF came a couple weeks later and gave me some reason to live. I just hate being at home...I feel a sense of dread everytime I think of having to go home after work....I feel guilty....but I just really cannot stand my parents...they are so cold and uptight.

    So this ramadaan I have not kept one fast, I have an almost finish bottle of wine in my cupboard, I go out without hijaab, and it was pretty much a normal month with the annoyance of family and friends becoming more religious.
