"I am going to kill myself.."
She said in her email to us:
Islam Newsroom article #1753 "Suicide is Not the End"
So many of our youth today have lost the desire to live. In emails and text messages I am seeing more and more of our young Muslim brothers and especially our teenage sisters crying about how miserable their lives are and how they feel there is no hope and no way out - and they say, "I'm gonna kill myself"
This story is an example of the many letters and messages we receive monthly at GuideUS.TV and This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Salam alaykum Sheikh Yusuf Estes. I saw you on TV give shahadah to a nice man and crys when he say shahadah, mashallah.
I also came to Islam and wish to see you and hug you so much. But I want to just die because what a man did to me. I hate him so much.
He made me not a virgin anymore and rapped me over and over so much and . . he is my uncle . .
My mom and dad also not get married.
I love anyone to tell my I'm pretty and my boyfriend he beats me and makes me steal and do drug things and stuff too and he also gave me to another man for sex and he did the sex to me in a very bad, bad way. I hate that too.
I get beat too bad and go to doctor and talk to Arab on chatroom. I get new ideas and I love to be a Muslim like her, to cover the hair and be protected by God.
I read Koran and say shahadah and I believe only One God and Mohamed the messenger of the God.
I pray the pray every dday but my mind keep going back and see in my mind the men hurting me and doing the sex.
I feel crazy and they lock me up in a room and . . I need help please.
I am not good because they ruin me so much. I am not the virgin and no man will want me now.
I want to just die and kill myself.
I want God forgive me but I am not the virgin. So how can I ask God? It is my fault but how do I change?
Pleas e help me . . helpme

It is not sufficient or correct to simply say, "Don't be depressed" or "Don't worry" or "Everything is going to be OK".
These statements are actually the opposite of what they need to hear. After all, if you are really upset or angry, how do you feel when someone tells you, "Don't be upset" or "Just don't be angry".
Add to that, when someone says, "You can't feel like that, because it is HARAM in Islam to feel that way".
Now how would that make you feel?
Professional counseling is one of the most preferred ways for treatment of severe depression. Even if the doctor or counselor isn't a Muslim or scholar of Islam, their training for helping people with depression is important for many cases.
If you have a doctor or imam who has training in this area, this is even better.
The main thing is to get help for the person immediately and not play around thinking you can get them to read an ayah or hadith or some fatwa that is going to help them.
We are planning on doing a live series on the topic of "Clinical Depression and It's Treatment" on GuideUS.TV/live
So make dua for us, ask Allah to give us the right answers for those who call in on the live show and for those who see the programs in the future to be rightly guided to the correct solutions.
If you or anyone you know is suffering from severe depression, anxiety or extreme mood swings, call a doctor, use a help line, talk to a counselor immediately.
Whatever you do, don't wait - Get help.
I pray for all of us to protect by Allah for these extreme emotions, unusual doubts, phobias and fears, Ameen.
May Allah grant us true "salama" and "salam" (safety, security and peace), Ameen.
I'm sure that God forgive u darling no worry
Dear sis, I wld like to remind of the story of a prostitute who was really thirsty and found a well, she got down and satisfied her thirst. When she came up she saw a dog really, really, thirsty. She went all the way and got the dog some water in her shoes. Prob she realised that she was desperately in need of God's forgiveness more than the dog needs water. And SubhaanAllah she was forgven and given paradise!! Don't think God's help won't come. Be patient. InshaAllah we'll pray 4 u.
