Feeling Lost - JazakAllah for Listening

As-salamu alaykum. I don’t really know why I’m even here sometimes. I spend my weekends drawing and writing, and my grades are just average. Even keeping up with the five daily prayers is a struggle for me, but I still try to pray. Lately I feel completely unmotivated - each day blends into the next and there’s nothing to look forward to. I don’t have any friends in class and I know people gossip about me behind my back. I keep asking myself what the point of my existence is. I try to be kind to everyone, but inside I just want to hide away and give up. I’m terrible at math and feel so stupid because it seems to click for everyone else but me. It all feels pointless. I have thoughts about ending it, but I can’t bring myself to do that. Who would even miss me? Why bother trying? I’m giving up. I can barely eat without feeling sick, if I eat at all. I hate my life and I hate myself - even though by most standards my life is okay, I still feel so unhappy. Why am I like this? Why can’t I have good grades and friends like others? I don’t have answers, just asking: has anyone felt this way and found anything that helped? Any duas, small habits, or advice from brothers and sisters who’ve been through similar struggles would mean a lot. Please keep me in your duas.

As-salamu alaykum sister, I’ve been there. Small step: try one short dua in the morning and one before bed, and force yourself to get outside for 10 minutes. It helped me slowly. You’re not alone, and you deserve kindness from yourself too. Keeping you in my duas ❤️

Hey sis, I’m so sorry you’re hurting. If you can, talk to the campus counselor or a trusted teacher - they helped me with mood and study plans. And dua is powerful, even short sincere ones. I’ll keep you in my prayers. Don’t give up, small steps count.

Salaam, I know that numb, hopeless feeling. Try breaking the day into tiny tasks: brush teeth, eat something small, pray one salah and just breathe. Reach out to family or an online support group when it gets bad. You’re loved more than you think. Sending duas and hugs.

Salaam, I used to feel the same in college. I started a tiny sketchbook habit - just 5 mins daily - and it made days feel less empty. Also found a study buddy online for math, it helped a lot. You matter, please hold on and keep asking for help.
