Dealing with Overwhelming Life Struggles as a Muslim

Assalamu alaikum. I’m hitting a wall here. I’m 30, and honestly, I’ve given it my all but things just keep falling apart. Every month, the hurt just piles on more. I can’t find peace or any kind of success-not in my health, my work, my marriage, or even with my own family. I know taking my own life is a huge sin, but I’m so drained, I can’t even think about trying again. I truly can’t. The constant letdowns and this deep ache are too much. I can’t handle another heartbreak.

Brother, you're not alone. Allah tests those He loves. I've been in a similar dark place, and the only thing that pulled me through was turning back to Salah. Sometimes all we can do is prostrate and let the tears flow.

Maybe it's time to speak to an imam or a counsellor? You sound like you're carrying the weight of the whole world on your shoulders.
