Feeling Distant from Allah’s Mercy

I really need someone to listen without just saying what I’m doing is haram. I’ve messed up big time. I can’t even accept myself, so how could Allah accept me? I got a car with an interest-based loan, and within a month, it was wrecked and I ended up in the hospital with broken bones, still healing now. Even while recovering, I keep falling into zina. And I have music playing at home almost all day. I try my best, but with ADHD, controlling impulses feels impossible, and in prayer, I lose focus and forget which surah I’m on-it’s not shaytan, it’s just me. Lately, I’ve been missing prayers too, and I feel like Allah is making me forget because He doesn’t want to meet me. After committing zina, I don’t know how to talk to Him or seek forgiveness. What can I even say this time? Just empty words so I can cope and sin again? I’m so ashamed that it feels hard to face Him because He knows I’m a liar. I need help. I’m not ready for the afterlife at all. Please don’t just tell me to stop sinning and be sincere-I know that, but I’m too weak with my ADHD impulses. Has anyone felt this way and found a way back to hope?

Been there. With ADHD, routine is key but super hard. Try tying prayers to meds time. And for music cravings, replace with quran recitation slowly. You'll fail but keep going.

You're breaking my heart man. I struggle with focus in prayer too. Key is to accept your ADHD and work with it. Use a shorter surah, count on fingers. And never stop asking Allah.
