In mental health, the nail of contentment – Laila Ibrahim Shalabi

No one is without anxiety.. and there is no righteous life except between two scales of justice that balance joy and sadness and fit between pain and healing. The body gets sick and the person suffers, but if the spirit keeps flying, hope returns, then he recovers and gets up from his torpor, healthy and healthy, and welcomes life.
Writing has always been my favorite and most honest way of expressing myself. If I lack someone to write to, I write to myself, addressing her and interlocutor.. When I re-read what I wrote: Maybe most, but it made me always overwhelmed with his spontaneity and sincerity.
Today I’m writing to everyone who has experienced what science calls PTSD. That psychological pain which reaches a person to the point of mental disorder, and what doctors regard as painful psychological behavior reaches its extent after exposure to an accident or nervous shock, and is often seen during the days of the scourge of wars or natural disasters. He could lose his loneliness after a short incurable illness that surprised everyone with his ferocity, with which he ruthlessly plundered his young youth.
The reality is that what I speak of today may be experienced by any person in any society, but each will no doubt participate in different pictures with a degree of turmoil, pain and sadness that will cast a heavy shadow over his or her days and the events that have is experiencing A person must be ready to share his pain and grief with others, especially those around him, family and friends.
How can a person prepare himself for that unique human responsibility that a person boldly adopts to which only exceptional moral nobility pushes him? For God, it is a great human responsibility that Almighty God alone rewards.
It may seem relatively easier in Western society, where psychological counseling can be obtained from a specialist doctor or mental health professional, which can be followed by psychological sessions with the aim of restoring the serenity that a person has lost due to of the trauma to which he was exposed.
But the matter may seem already in our Eastern societies closer to the soul and the spirit is warmer and more profound, especially if we really understand what PTSD means, and how we can approach and deal with a loved one who suffers from it.
Always be ready to listen, but never push to change your mind, and make every sincere effort to make a person feel that you want to listen.
Choose the right time to talk and the place that should be free from what is causing interruptions or distractions. Listen carefully, ask calmly, and completely avoid guessing or giving advice that everyone is sharing during these difficult occasions.
I always know where to shut up and where to take a moment to rest if it seems difficult to you, no doubt this is something that only a patient, benevolent and very humane person can tolerate.
Always do not hesitate to warn a person that he has the right to get rid of the consequences of his pains, and that he has a right with his family and friends who guarantee it to him and make them apply to him with natural comfort.
I don’t think it is now hidden from those who read my words today that it is I who am going through these difficult moments with a dear friend of mine, for whom God has chosen a destiny whose meaning only He knows.
I always pray to God, automatic pleas passing through my tongue right now, and I have no intention of repeating or memorizing pleas that others invoke and record in other people’s memory, but I have always kept a wonderful word that Sheikh Al-Shaarawi – that God have mercy on him – he once said in his speech on grief and worry: He said: “Besiege their worries.” and judge them well, and fasten them with a nail of consent.
In submission and contentment there is the comfort that stops the fracture of pain in the soul and allows the wound to heal, even if the trace remains.
