It was a really comfortable environment and the organisers made me feel at ease. The sessions were really helpful and it was nice to be in an environment with similar people who were having similar struggles and helped reduce loneliness. Everyone was really nice and I'm glad everyone was down to earth and not judgemental either, very pleasant environment.
It was hard at first - divulging my innermost feelings to a small group of strangers but showing up was the first step. Each day taught us a new strategy, story and made us acknowledge and question our thought processes. By linking it to Islam, I could find solace in my religion instead of feeling ostracised. At the root of it all is a loop of hardwired negative thinking, emotions and behaviours. Learning about the strategies and practically implementing them in the session really gave me the push to implement them in my daily life.
The group gave me accountability and that's something I would often forgo when I had low mood days. Slowly but surely, I have implemented some of the methods we used in our sessions. By recognising the thoughts and affording more kindness to myself, this has benefited me in more ways than imaginable.
