Islamic marriage advice and family advice

The definition of “difficult” IS my life and I’m going to go crazy!

Frustrated, tension, tense

I can't breathe anymore, I'm on the brink of going crazy!

Salaam alakum brothers and sisters. I have very uptight parents. Especially my dad. I am 18 years old, and I understand when people say that "Allah tests us" but I can't take it anymore. I can't breath anymore, I'm on the brink of going crazy! How long is Allah supposed to test me? Until I kill myself? Then what? He's going to blame it on me and take me to hell? Uff!

My dad is very strict and my mom just takes it from him at times. My sisters and I are not allowed to go out. My schedule? Go to school for 3 hours, come back and stay at home. That's literally my everyday schedule. Do you know how much that hurts? To look at my friends and others go out? And have fun? And love their life? And some barely pray? But me? And my sisters? We respect our parents, we pray, we don't do wrong but here we are stuck in the house 24/7. I am going to go crazy! I can't breath anymore! I can't explain all this despair in me! It's freaking crazy!

I've tried speaking to my parents about this but they always say "screw what people do! Be grateful for what you have" I AM GRATEFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE! but for how much longer am I supposed to sit at home everyday and wish I die! And cry ad cry and cry' and just.. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I feel hopeless.. I want to die. I really really want to die. I might not make it to heaven.. But I don't care anymore, cause I know deep down my heart that I've been patient all my life, I've been good and nothing ever been good in my life.. I feel like dying. What am I supposed to do? Ya Allah.. I'm just so close to hurting myself.. I can't handle it. No words can explain my grief.. I've tried accepting this. But I can't anymore. I CAN'T! Please help me! Please help!

  2. Salam..

    Well first of all, life is ironic isn't it.. we all have different tests, some are harder than others, but never the less, all of us are being tested frequently..

    I heard what's your problem is, but I dont understand what's the reason. Talk to your parents, especially your dad, ask him gently why. Make plans with him.. you know. compromise.. You sound young by the way. Is that the factor you can't go out? Maybe your dad is being overprotective.. i know that feeling, but talk to him. make him understand.. talk to him again. but dont pester.. make him see things the way you see them.. ok

  3. As salam alaikum sister,

    Your parents are trying to do the best they can to protect you and give you the best islamic education. But i do understand that you need a social life. It doesn't have to be going out to the mall it could be visiting a friend at home or inviting one friend around.

    Maybe if you could involve your mum , like asking her to make a meal and invite couple of friends around she will feel reassured to meet them and realize they are good company and she would trust you more.

    You have to be diplomatic , being rebelious would only make things worth. But mashaAllah you seem to be very respectfull.
    If it doesn't work, ask a family member you feel close to to speak to them without mentionning that you requested it. Explaining that as a teenager isolation can lead to depression and socialising is an important part of developing your personality and that it would have a positif effect on everything in your life.

    Try , but take this suicide thoughts far away from you, this is not the solution.

    And this situation wont last forever anyway and you know it

  4. Who are you saying uff too in your post?

  5. Salam.Things look nice are really sometimes not as they are seen. Going out,harms in many ways.Some time we are influenced&get trapped.What u eat,not every one eats. Allah never harm his any slave.Pl keep protected,inside ur home.Pl remember never to sleep at&before sunrise.If ever u slept before dawn or dusk.U will go worst.Thanks.

  6. Salaam my Sister,

    I am sorry that you are feeling this intense claustrophobia which in my opinion is very natural. You are experiencing cabin fever - which all of us experience when stuck in any form of confinement for a period of time with no change.

    You are likely to begin to relax as soon as something that is different from your everyday experience happens - this can occur in the form of some kind of fun, or uplifting interaction. If you are family are averse to the idea of you going out by yourself or with your friends, I would advise that you start to ask them for you to all go out together - to visit family, or out a restaurant or some other "different" thing that you can all do together: the possibilities are endless - and there is no reason why you cannot have some fun together as a family.

    You can also introduce a sense of adventure and "newness" to your everyday experience by picking up a hobby (again, mum can be in on this as well if you are not allowed by yourself).

    I know it is frustrating to be confined and not allowed any form of self expression or freedom - however slowly, your parents will begin to relax the rules a little soon inshaAllah, as you get older.

    Peace,

  7. What ur parents are doing is not wrong, they are just protecting u. I was in the same case when I was 18, my routine was just going to school and get back home, I have only 2 -3 freinds and I was not allowed to meet them to their house.At that time it was quite frustrating. But when I entered univeristy, things get better, I was able to hang out with freinds.My parents restrictions helps me to chose good peaple and now it helps me to set the limits by my own.There are girls who lie to their parents just to have fun or to meet peaple. I don't need to do that because i know what I do is not wrong.
    Don't be sad, today earn ur parents respect & confidence and u will see when u will start univeristy things will improve.
    Just relax and breath, u have all ur life to enjoy and go to restaurants.

  8. Hello brother, have you tried to ask your parents why they dont let you out. It is probably because they think that you will start doing drugs and sins .
