Feeling Overwhelmed About Catching Up on Missed Salah

Alhamdulillah, I've reconnected with my salah after neglecting it for years, including most of my teenage and adult life. However, I've hit a rough patch recently, where I sometimes skip prayers due to a lack of mental and physical energy, only to do them later out of fear and guilt. It's gotten to the point where I'm purposely delaying salah to pray it all at night. Knowing I have around 12 years of missed prayers to make up feels impossible, and I'm struggling with hopelessness. May Allah forgive me and grant me strength.

That feeling of guilt is actually a sign of iman. Hold onto it, but don't let it paralyze you. Step by step, brother.

Don't delay today's for yesterday's. That's a trap I fell into too. Fix the present first.

Been in a similar spot. Try to pair one current fardh with one makeup prayer. Slows you down but makes the mountain smaller.

Real. The night prayers thing hits home.

May Allah make it easy for you. The fact you care is the first victory. Maybe don't think of 12 years at once? Just make sincere intention to cover what you can, when you can.
