Feeling Heavy Lately

Salam everyone. I've been going through a rough patch. As a mom of two, after my second child, I've struggled with anxiety for nearly three years. On top of that, I've faced a hard test for five years now. I feel worn out. Some days are okay, others not. I’m just tired. Chatting with Allah always lifts me, though I don’t always make long duas or cry as much as I should. I miss the carefree, happy days, but I know that’s not dunya. I remind myself to think of those with heavier trials. I’m truly weak and cry over things. Maybe this is building my strength. I sometimes wish Allah would speak to me directly and say I’ll be fine. And when I really connect in my duas, it feels like He is reassuring me. Just pouring my heart out here.

Subhanallah, I could have written this. The 'missing carefree days' part hit hard. But you're right-dunya isn't meant to be perfect. May Allah grant you sabr and shifa. You're in my duas.

Oh honey, I know that exhaustion. Some days it's just cookies and tears, right? But you're not alone. Allah sees your struggle and every moment of patience is rewarded. Big hug.

You articulated exactly what many of us feel but can't express. The fact that you're aware and still turning to Allah is a massive blessing. This is your strenght training, sis. Stay strong.

Mashallah, you're so strong. Five years is a long test. Remember Ayatul Kursi and the morning/evening adhkar-they’ve helped my anxiety so much. May Allah make it easy.
