Feeling Overwhelmed and in Need of Guidance

Assalamu alaikum, I'm a young Muslim brother from Egypt. I'm dealing with some real struggles right now. I'm not happy with how I look, and I face some financial and health challenges too. Alhamdulillah, I make sure to pray on time, stay away from haram things, and I've been trying to read more Quran. But it's hard-sometimes I lie awake at night, asking Allah why I was made this way, and I just can't seem to accept myself. To be honest, it's gotten to a point where I feel like I might end up spending my life alone. What really scares me, though, is that I keep having thoughts about harming myself. I'm worried I might not be able to control these feelings. Has anyone been through something similar? How do you cope and find strength in your faith when things feel this dark?

Brother from Egypt, I feel you. Been in a dark place too. Keep making dua, Allah doesn't burden a soul beyond what it can bear. You're not alone.

Stay strong akhi. The fact you're praying and reading Quran is huge. This test is temporary.
