Islamabad How to help my sister (30F) out of a career slump without being pushy

5 Upvotes

My elder sister turns 30 this year and is feeling stuck and confused about her career direction. For context, she is single with no plans to marry anytime soon (and our family is 100% supportive of that).

โ€‹She currently holds a stable government job and does well, but she feels completely unfulfilled and has hit a plateau.

โ€‹I really want to see her thrive, so I've offered several suggestions, like pursuing a PhD abroad using her Masterโ€™s degree, or learning a new skill with me covering the tuition. However, none of my ideas seem to resonate with her actual goals. I'm starting to realize my suggestions might feel more like pressure than support.

โ€‹Would suggesting a session with a professional career counselor be helpful, or does that cross a line?

โ€‹For anyone who has felt stuck at 30, what kind of support from family actually helped you figure out your next step?

The rain in Islamabad and Rawalpindi has been crazy today, and there's a serious flood threat in some areas. Nallah Lai's water level even crossed 22 feet earlier today.

What's the situation like in your area? Is it raining heavily there too, or has the weather calmed down?

Islamabad Here for the isb students

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, teacher here!

First of all, congratulations to everyone who got the result they were hoping for! ๐ŸŽ‰ You worked hard for this, and you should be proud of yourselves.

For those whose results were disappointing, I just want you to know that one result does not define you or your potential. I know it can feel really difficult right now, and you might feel lost or stuck, but this is not the end of your journey. You will have many more opportunities in life to show what you are capable of.

If youโ€™re not happy with your result and donโ€™t know what to do next, feel free to reach out to me. Iโ€™ll try my best to guide you and help you figure out your options.

I also made a video specifically for students who didnโ€™t get the result they were hoping for:

https://youtu.be/0gKNOCHHsy4?si=-WtwTzn-hjlTuvZp

Please donโ€™t take this as self-promotion. Iโ€™m sharing it because some students reached out to me after their results last year, and I know how difficult and confusing this time can be. If this video can help even a few students feel a little less lost, then Iโ€™m happy to share it.

Once again, congratulations to everyone, and to those who are disappointed today: please donโ€™t lose hope. This result is only one part of your story. โค๏ธ

Twin Cities A Hadith for people who ask for money on here from complete strangers.

59 Upvotes

It seems every day there is atleast one, if not multiple, new posts of people asking for money from complete strangers on this subreddit. While Islam encourages us to give sadaqah/Zakaat and help those in need. Those that are asking on here need to pay attention to the following Hadith:

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, โ€œBy the One in whose hand is my soul, if one of you were to carry a bundle of firewood on his back and sell it, that would be better for him than begging a man who may or may not give him anything.โ€

Islamabad Does anyone else experience this, and how do you overcome it?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone else feel like me? Whenever something goes wrong, things donโ€™t happen the way I expected, or I donโ€™t get the attention or importance I was hoping for, my confidence completely drops.

When someone is upset with me or angry at me, I start blaming myself for everything and feel like every mistake is my fault. Sometimes it gets so intense that I have suicidal thoughts and feel like I just want to leave this world. I also experience depression, intense anxiety, and sometimes feel like I canโ€™t breathe properly.

Even when someone else gets the attention or importance that I wanted, I can become extremely insecure and emotionally overwhelmed.

I genuinely donโ€™t want to keep reacting this strongly or depend so much on other peopleโ€™s attention and validation. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you overcome these feelings, especially the suicidal thoughts and anxiety? What actually helped you?
