Assalamu Alaikum - Feeling Overwhelmed and Lost

Assalamu Alaikum, I’m a young adult dealing with depression and a lot of stress. My depression seems to come from problems with my mother, and the stress is mostly from not knowing what the future holds and worrying about how I’ll support myself. Right now I have a roof over my head and food, but I don’t feel respected by my family. My sister made serious accusations against me, and my older sister saw it happen and knew I hadn’t done anything wrong. My brother‑in‑law also accused me and turned the family against me. My father was verbally abusive to my mother, and my mother relies on medication - she cares enough to feed me but isn’t strong enough to stand up for me. I tried to OD on antidepressants but was saved. Now the thoughts of ending my life keep coming back and I feel like there’s no way out. I’m really struggling and don’t know what to do. Please make dua for me. I would appreciate any advice on how to cope with these feelings, where to find support from a Muslim perspective, or practical steps I can take to stay safe and get help. I’m open to suggestions about speaking to a trusted imam, a Muslim counselor, or local support services, and how to involve family or community safely. JazakAllah khair.

I’ll dua for you every day. When it’s unbearable, go to ER or call emergency help. You don’t have to handle this on your own. Consider a Muslim counselor who understands faith issues.

So sorry, brother. Family can be cruel. Document what happened if you can and avoid confrontations alone. A trusted imam or counselor can mediate safely. You deserve protection and respect.

Bro, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. Glad you’re still here. Please tell someone trusted right now and remove access to meds. I’ll keep you in my duas, man.

Man, keep repeating that you’re not alone. I’d suggest telling a close friend or cousin who can stay with you for a bit. And keep making dua, we got you.

This hits hard. Family drama can wreck your head. Therapy helped me more than I thought it would - look for a Muslim therapist if that feels safer. You deserve care.

I’ve been there. Removing pills and giving someone permission to check on you saved me once. Look into local mental health or hospital options before it gets worse. Praying for you.

Assalamu Alaikum brother, stay with us. Consider calling a crisis line if thoughts get bad, and try meeting an imam you trust. Small steps count, one day at a time.

Don’t stay in that room alone when it gets dark. Go to a mosque if that’s possible and talk to someone there. You’re stronger than this depression, even if it doesn’t feel like it now.

Keep reaching out like this - that’s huge. Try to find a Muslim support group online if there isn’t one locally. Also emergency services if you feel you’ll act on those thoughts.
