They call it "one step forward, ten steps back".
Just because something doesn't make sense to you, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.

Nah it made sense.

My dad is Muslim, my mom is Sanathanist Hindu.The regular run of the mill kind of Trini Hindu where Ramayana, Vishnu and Hanuman reign supreme.The kind that steers clear of mysticism.Mom decided it best that I be exposed to both religions and choose for myself whenever I was ready for that.I went to a Muslim primary and secondary school, and went to the mosque until standard 4 when a teacher p1ssed me off.I went to numerous Hindu/Muslim/Christian/Orisha prayers, weddings etc over that part of my life with my parents and grandparents, neighbours etc.
Other side of this story known only to a few close family members.Growing up, I used to see things that nobody else could see.People and animal type creatures.I was deadly afraid of curtains open at night.Schizophrenia runs on my dad's side,so I was a flaming red flag.I went to many professionals that ruled out the schizophrenia and summed it up to an overactive imagination.I started ignoring those things.
Fast forward a decade.Secondary school,girls,Grunge and heavy metal.Those things occupied my social time.Due to a hereditary seratonin deficiency, I struggled with suicidal depression.Nobody knew this except me.
I am literally wondering if to put this part.Some IRL friends I have here might treat me diffently .
2003, After one bad week, akin to the Joker movie's one bad day,I was going to off myself one day by jumping off the flyover unto moving traffic, yeah d1ck move,I know.
A literal vagrant, the nastiest, grimiest vagrant you could find, talked me out of it.He just happened to be passing there.Anybody would see the vagrant,I saw Lord Shiva, plain as day.After that, he literally hijacked my life.Dreams, visions, you name it, He has been my guide through all this madness called life ever since.
Some years after,a freak gravel accident almost took my life on the highway.The lady that got me out of the car had a Trishul tattoo between her eyebrows.I must have imagined it, but she said to me that I also needed 'Shakti' in my life.
While this was going on, the last phone number that called me that day was an acquaintance that I randomly went on a hike with the day before.Somebody called her when they stopped to assist me.She literally left work, and stayed with me in the hospital until they told her she had to leave.A virtual stranger, who is now my wife and has been my strength ever since.
I didn't go looking for any of this.Anybody that knows me IRL can tell you that I am not that type of person, but after a while, the writing on the wall gets too obvious to ignore.I try not to talk about it, but if it makes someone else going through similar situations not feel like they are not alone,I am happy for the good it may bring.
After thought: Before anyone says that I was on drugs. The weed use came long after,very recently actually.Covid gave me anxiety issues,as my dad was stranded in Mexico while borders were closed.You may have seen me complaining on that thread.I have never tried other drugs.My addiction is Redbull,as anybody can tell you.

The sheitty thing about depression is that the person suffering from it frequently doesn't know.
I know you directed your question at mero, but many, many years ago when I was just starting out in life, I think I suffered bouts of depression, because life was tough, and things were hard for a young man with no social support systems (moved out at 22), and "advice" from partners was frequently "doh study it" take ah drink" and "it go pass"

It's Ramadan, so get ready because the kiddie gloves are coming off. The fact that they have not estranged the jamaat al muslimeen, says they agreed with the known terrorist cell

If Yasin really wanted development and progress, he would dissolve the "jamaat al-muslimeen" cult (really jamaat al zanadiqa, ie heretics), and free the innocent people there from his sickness, and go learn his religion.
Everything he says seems to have a racial undertone. There is no racism in Islaam. He seems not to get that.
O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allâh is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. he is one of the Muttaqûn (pious – see V.2:2). Verily, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Aware. ( Noble Qur’an 49:13)
Narrated by Abu huraira, The prophet peace be upon him said: “Truly, Allah does not look at your outward forms and wealth, but rather at your hearts and your works” (Sahih Muslim, 4.1389: hadith 2564)
In his final sermon the Prophet Muhammad, Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon him, said:
“There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab. Neither is the white superior over the black, nor is the black superior over the white except by piety.”
