My first Therapy
Hello community,
Im a 29M, I was always thinking about my self as someone mentaly strong and able to help people, give advices.
But Lately, Its like I lost motivation for eveything bcs of many problems I faced each day (mostly family problems). Without giving details, I was blocked.
I never tought about doing a therapy, for me it was like I dont need it but a friend suggest me to do so, I did today.
Today I had my first Therapy and im so happy, its like I started discovering something new in me and In life, and I wanted to share with u this feeling.
Try therapy, just one time at least, its very helpful !

Is it normal for family to be this entitled?
I am a moroccan girl and I live abroad in Canada and my cousin & her fiance got a visitor visa and came to visit.
Everytime I hang out with them they expect me to pay like they think I make millions or something. I've spent close to $300 the last two times I went out with them.
The third time we hang out I was like enough is enough and told them to pay for their stuff and I pay for mine. The fiance gave me such a dirty look and the vibe changed very quickly to a cold distant hateful vibe.
When i went back to my place and told mom about it she said that because they are guests I have to treat them good and pay for everything and she made me feel like I am the bad person.
Just want to know if this is a normal behavior to have or if I am in the wrong?

Why is everything expensive?
Currently on holiday in Rabat, Morocco and extremely confused by the price of goods. This is not a “tourist price” thing either. McDonald’s, Ikea, Supermarkets, local butcher outside of Rabat, everything is way more expensive than in England, except fizzy drinks. Friends have also told me how much their cars cost and they’re way more expensive than a similar model/year.
People in England are finding themselves struggling and our minimum wage is a lot higher. How are you guys living? Do you pay a lot less for utilities, rent, etc. Are there cheaper places to buy things? Are wages generally a lot higher than minimum wage? Why is everything just as or more expensive?

What's your struggle meal be like?
Hhhh ewa a sidi, we've all been there, bzdam on life support, stomach staging a protest, and it's time to get creative in the kitchen. What’s your go-to struggle meal?
For me, when the budget is tight, here’s my survival lineup:
- Coca Cola Zero (gotta keep the vibes alive)
- Indomie x3 (the legendary white one)
- Three fried eggs (protein secured)
- Some kind of meat under 12 dirhams (because flavor matters, even in the struggle)
For ftour:
- Tea, but no mint (we're keeping it simple)
- Khubza (the foundation of all good things)
- Fromage + zit l3ud (if I run out of olive oil, then confiture, the watery kind, hhh Delicia)
Now, I wanna hear from you, what’s your go-to meal when times are tough? Let’s share the struggle together.
N.b: i'm also looking for friends

American met Moroccan man online
Hi, I’m a 27f American. I randomly went on a video chat site and met him, 30m. We talked for 6 hours about our culture, interests, and religion. It was really nice so I asked for his social and we’ve been talking everyday. He’ll say good morning, show me what he’s up to, or see what I’m doing. He’s really a sweetheart and communicates his emotions.
We have so many things in common that I forget we’re from two different worlds. We both speak French but I don’t know enough Arabic to have a conversation.
I have Norwegian/ Russian facial features with African and a bit of native for my curly hair and tan skin. I don’t think it’s odd he’d be attracted to me, but why not someone there.. I dont like anyone here, maybe it’s not a red flag. I dont know
I’m not usually an idiot but he makes me mushy and I can’t tell lol. I started calling him my moon, now he says he’s in sha’af. Everything moved so fast. When learning more about the culture, I saw wedding photos on google, he saw my face light up and now
this man has been dropping hints and told me he wants to get married. I’ve been matching his interest as I like him but not about getting married.
He puts effort into what he says, it’s not just something random or short. He explains how he feels and says sincere things. Honestly, it all works on me lmao.
American culture and Islamic countries are pretty opposite... I don’t drink or smoke and have only gone out to 3 clubs. I’m not a party girl but am also not very modest, he’s not either but not in the same sense.
He’s never talked about moving here, but has about me staying with him, he’s close with his family and has a good job there. I just don’t know what to think. He’s so good at talking is insane, surely this could’ve worked on a tourist or someone else. It’s been less than a week, help.
UPDATE: after some slight digging, he’s married. Now I feel like I need to apologize to Allah, stay safe out there. Omg

Living in Morocco is exhausting, it feels like you have to kill your values to survive
I’m honestly struggling to live in Morocco. It feels like in order to get anything done, you have to lie, beg, or lower your standards. There’s no peace of mind. What’s ironic is that in many other countries, there’s more Islam but fewer Muslims, while here, there are plenty of Muslims but little actual Islam in practice.
Even in the mosque, people try to assert dominance, like parking wherever they want without any consideration. Lies are everywhere. Take a taxi, and the driver starts arguing with you just because there’s traffic,as if that’s your fault. From the airport onward, they try to scam you.
Call an electrician to your home, and it’s all nonsense: no clear appointment, they show up late, start the job, leave it halfway, and disappear to take another job somewhere else.
Public administration? An absolute nightmare. “Bring this paper, legalize that one.” The national ID isn’t enough, they want a birth certificate. Every step is just more and more red tape.
And don’t get me started on domestic flights. Online check-in? Not an option. You must go to the counter to get a stamp on your boarding pass—by an employee, not an official. What’s the point of that?
It’s all so draining. There’s no structure, no logic, just chaos. People say Morocco is poor, but go to any restaurant and you’ll see mountains of food on the table, most of it wasted. It’s always the husband, wife, sister, mother-in-law—and they’re all overweight. Every single one. And they’ll say it’s “hereditary”…
They teach their kids to lie, to fight, to be loud, to dominate, to disrespect others. It never ends. Living like this wears you down.

I’m stuck (literally) !!
Hi everyone!
I’m (F 24) from a very strict and traditional family, my dad is a difficult and stubborn man and my brothers have grown up to become just like him. ( ps: I’m the only girl and the youngest at home). We live in the countryside ( about 20~30 minutes from the city).
So basically I am not allowed outside! Like I never go out by myself! If it’s something necessary, my dad or brother will take me to the city, stay with me till i do what I need to do and then bring me back home! Imagine even if I wanted to go to the market(like once or twice a year) and buy some clothes or personal stuff, they would do the same!!
When I was in university, I had to just study at home and only attend the exams ( yes you guessed it right, my dad used to drop me at uni and then bring me home, I couldn’t go by myself :) )
Now, as you can imagine, I’m really tired of this and I feel like I can’t do it anymore! I feel like I can’t breathe! Especially that the atmosphere at home is very tense and not so healthy.
I’m extremely lonely, I haven’t been able to maintain any of my friendships.
Normally, this is supposed be the age where I live life to the fullest, meet people, make friends, learn, grow with new experiences,… I don’t want much or do some inappropriate things, I just want to live like a normal 24 yo girl!
Recently I got on one of those “Muslim dating apps” (cuz, I’m not gonna lie, I feel like I need to find a husband), I talked to some people, but once I tell them that we can’t meet they just lose interest immediately, and I get it, no one seems to want to marry without dating in this generation.
Since I graduated from college I’ve been taking some online courses and trying to land a remote job, I feel like that could help a little and distract me from this shity situation.
Tbh feel extremely depressed, and I’m having suicidal thoughts, i feel like there’s no hope at all!
I just wanted to vent a little :) Thank you for reading. If you have any advices that could help me keep my sanity in this situation, I would greatly appreciate it ! Also if you’re or have been through something similar, please share!

Morocco is slowly killing itself
Hosting the world cup is already damaging us in more ways then we can fix, people are getting dragged out of their houses and giving a small amount to live in far away areas that don't even have electricity+water, homeless people are getting dumped in the middle of nowhere till they die of starvation and dehydration, the government is spending billions of dollars to construct a football stadium that will be used few times in the WC and other competitions while people in rural areas struggle to get a proper education and have no access to water/healthcare/electricity and sometimes even food, we're not even the sole hostor of the WC, whatever amount the country gains from it will not ensure it's stability for the future, and we don't even know if they'll actually invest some of it in what's demanded/needed. Citizens are leaving the country to live abroad so they can find a job and send money back home to there families, that's how bad the unemployment rate is, not even considering that but students 18yo who have just gotten Lbac dyalhoum are also leaving so they can study in a better institution, that how much our people don't trust there education system, and others are leaving for the sole reason that they can't stand living in a closed of country where freedom of speech is frowned upon, mental health is treated like garbage and security/amn are non-existent as attacks are becoming more and more frequent, public school students have to go through hell to get excellent grades so they can get accepted into a college/university bch tdmn lihoum mousta9balhoum because there parents are not able to afford private universities/tutoring, less and less people are getting married and having children cause there already struggling enough financially+emotionally and are aware that they'll be unable to take care of that child. I genuinely believe we're gonna be entering a recession and I'm not sure how we'll be able to get out if it.

How to stop being 3wicha dmi3a
Salam everyone,
I’ve always been highly sensitive—aka bekkaya—ever since I was a child.
The problem is that my body reacts really strongly when I get emotional, especially during arguments, criticism, or when I have to defend myself. Even when I try to stay calm and composed, my vision quickly blurs with tears, my face turns bright red, and it becomes really obvious. Sometimes, I even start trembling if I feel wronged or offended, and I can’t keep a steady tone while speaking.
It’s such a struggle because I end up looking immature or overly emotional, even when I’m trying so hard to keep it together. I often find myself clenching my hands tightly without even realizing it—just trying to get a grip and stop myself from crying.
I know it can be frustrating for the other person too, because one moment we’re talking, and the next—poof—my face is red, I’m crying, and struggling to express myself properly.
Does anyone else deal with this?
Any advice on how to regulate emotions and handle these situations in a more mature, composed way?
Thank you in advance!
