Hiya from Europe

[Violet]

Hey there everyone! Just looking for somewhere to be.

I'm whereupon from a country in Europe and was born and raised here as the daughter of two Turkish Muslims. I was raised as a dedicated Muslima myself, sheltered in a like-minded community. I lost my faith somewhere around my tenth birthday.

Which country? Best place to find a pair of Turkish Muslims is Turkey, but I make no assumptions

I'm messed up in the head like nobody's business - my best bet is tht it's a result of combined efforts. Increasingly abusive family members, the stress of remaining in the closet and timebomb-like genetics (because I have yet to meet a relative without big mental health issues) make an effective team.

I'll bet that you're just fine, and that there's nothing a hug can't fix.

* Violet gives the not-broken person a hug

I crashed out of the closet recently when I ran away from my family which is pretty pathetic considering that I am an off-age citizen of Europe. I like to think that it was a necessary and liberating move on my part, can't help feeling lonely and just as powerless as before most of the time though.

I cannot know if it was or was not pathetic, given how few details are suggested to me, but if <Increasingly abusive family members> is a true value: perhaps you should stay run away, find someone non-abusive to make yourself not-lonely, and build your own sense of self-confidence and strength

But then, I ran away from abuse, and I'm a whole lot happier today for it, so I'm biased.

I love books, teaching kids, Mathematics and animals.
I hope to study to become a teacher if I remain stable enough for the next term.

I hope you enjoy yourself here, welcome to the forum.
