Q: I am overwhelmed with soo much negativity. I don’t believe in myself at all - I’m unable to learn or understand and worried my kids also have the same. Everyday is soo hard for me as I am so useless at everything. I’m worried my kids will be the same. I am taking medication with no effect as my stupidity is true - I don’t know how I can live with such a useless mind. Because how I feel, I am so intimidated to spend time with other mums and their kids as everyone is so bright and we are just so dumb. I have been praying and making dua for the last 2 years but nothing can help if I’m like this. I feel like I should end my life as I can’t live like this. I’m just not good enough to live in this world and don’t think I’m strong enough to look after my kids.

Q: I suffer with a lot of vaginal discharge for which I may be a mazoor in some months. I am going to check if I am mazoor or not. Now, it may be possible that if I use any kind of tampon or tissue, I may be able to prevent the discharge from coming out. But I do not want to insert anything inside as I am afraid that it may cause infection or cause damage to my hymen.

My question is, is it necessary for me to use tissue etc. to prevent my discharge? Because if I use it I will not be mazoor and without using it, I may be a mazoor.
