It is easy to keep going without ever stopping to ask how you actually are. These are four short prompts to sit with. There are no right answers.
How am I?
Ask yourself if you are ok. If you’re struggling with sleep, having mood swings, and have lost all interest in your daily activities, then it might be time to speak to someone. Either speak to a friend, a family member or give us a call.
Take care of yourself
It’s easy to get lost in time whilst isolating. Take time out for yourself to unwind.
Regret
We’ve all done things we regret, said things in anger and made the wrong choices from time to time. Try to forgive yourself and allow yourself to look forward to new experiences.
Respect yourself
Make sure that the people you spend time with value you and treat you with kindness and respect.
If your answers worried you, or you would rather talk it through with someone who is not family or a friend, that is what we are here for. The Muslim Youth Helpline is free and confidential, open every day from 4pm to 10pm on 0808 808 2008. You can also chat with us online or email us.
