Feeling lost and trying to find my way

As-salamu alaykum. I embraced Islam a few months back and honestly, I’ve been having a hard time lately. My mind feels all over the place and I just don’t know what to do. I’ve been thinking about going to the mosque for the first time, hoping to find some guidance because I’m still figuring out so many things. Is there someone there I can talk to? Like, can I sit with anyone and share what’s weighing on me? I’m going by myself-no friends or family to join-so I’m a bit nervous, but I really need this.

Sis, don't let shaytan whisper doubts! You're doing the right thing. Go during a quieter time like Asr if you're anxious, and just sit. Tears might come, but it's healing. You're in my duas 🤲

Salaam! It’s totally normal to feel scared. Mashallah for reaching out. The sisters at the mosque are usually very kind; just tell them you’re new and need to talk. Making dua for you-this step will bring so much peace inshallah.

Salam! Absolutely, just approach any sister and say you're new and need guidance. Inshallah you'll find support. Also, many mosques have classes or halaqas for new Muslims-ask about that too. May Allah bless you.
