Dealing with Whispers That Drain My Soul

Salaam everyone, sometimes I get these whispering thoughts that just exhaust my mind, even outside of salah. It’s like a physical ache in my head. I catch myself obsessing and thinking, “Why do I think like this? Is something wrong with me?” I’m starting to wonder if it’s from what I watch-streaming shows, scrolling through videos, and how so much media makes a mockery of faith. It feels like it’s chipping away at my iman and making me feel worthless, then I spiral even more. Has anyone else felt this way? How did you cope? Jazak Allah khair for any advice.

That physical ache part is so real. I started reciting Ayatul Kursi before scrolling and after, it's not a magic fix but it shields my mind somehow. Also, cutting netflix was rough but worth it lol.

Wallahi the media mockery of deen is no joke. I limit myself to islamic lectures now, feels cleaner. You aren't broken sis, it's the environment, we all struggle.

Channel that frustration into extra dhikr. Works for me. May Allah make it easy.
