Quote: For someone who has struggled with feelings of inadequacy, instead of perceiving increased worship as something that is encouraged, I would often see it as a form of pressure. I would constantly feel as though I should be doing more, and that what I was doing was not enough. Zainab Shafan-Azhar

Whilst Ramadan is a time of reflection, gratitude and increased worship, for some with mental health difficulties, this period brings pressure. In her blog, Zainab Shafan-Azhar reflects on her experiences and shares techniques that have helped her: www.centreformentalhealth.org.uk/managing-my-...
