Can my fate still change?

Assalamu alaikum, dear brothers and sisters. I shared some of my pain here before, and now I'm pouring out more of what's suffocating me. My mental illness, this schizophrenia my Lord placed on me as a test, makes each day a crushing weight. I used to feel so close to Allah, like He truly loved me, but now I sense only emptiness and abandonment. We even traveled across mosques-from Quebec to Ontario-for ruqya rituals, and no, it's not a jinn inside me. I can't see the unseen or win against this. I'm not looking for help; I just need to cry out. Nothing touches me unless Allah wills it, and my destiny felt cursed from the start. Allah is the greatest, no matter what. Honestly, I've made peace with the end. Whether He is angry or will forgive me, I just want to meet Him soon. I don't care about hell anymore-this life itself is hell right now. Please, I'm so tired of hearing 'be patient' or 'Allah is Merciful.' I know those truths, but my heart can't carry them anymore. Why did He create me? I was fine before existence, yet part of me is glad I lived. It's just unfair that my soul seems doomed to fire. Why do some of you get paradise while I'm left here? Are you simply better than me? It's not fair-I never chose these illnesses.

I hear you and I won't tell you to be patient. It's okay for your heart to feel empty. I just need you to know that Allah’s mercy isn't a feeling we earn, it's His attribute. He doesn't need you to feel it for it to be real. Just existing right now and not cursing Him is a form of worship you can’t see.

Don't assume He is angry. That's the illness talking, not your Lord. The Prophet said the most severely tested are the prophets, then the next best. Your soul isn't doomed, your test just feels invisible to everyone else. Keep whispering your pain to Him, even if you feel nothing.

Brother, my heart split reading this. I have a cousin with the same diagnosis and the isolation is the worst part. The fact you're still saying Allahu Akbar through this fog… that’s not a small thing. Shaytan wants you to think you’re abandoned, but a heart that remembers Him isn’t abandoned.

Nothing touches you unless He wills it… you already know the answer. You're not worse than us, you're being purified in a way that would shatter us.

May Allah grant you shifa, brother.
