Feeling Worn Down by Relentless Trials

As-salamu alaykum. I’ve been carrying a heavy load of fear, pain, and worry for more than a year now. Tears come almost daily, and it feels like my self-respect is hanging by a thread. I pray my five daily prayers, make dua constantly, remember Allah through dhikr, and sincerely beg Him for ease, but the situation doesn’t seem to shift. I’m seeing a therapist and trying my best, but honestly, I’m just so drained. There was a time when life finally seemed to be looking up. I had started caring for my parents, who are both very unwell, and was trying to bring some joy into their lives and my own. We had moments of real, beautiful happiness-thinking back on it even now brings tears to my eyes. My intentions were purely good. But then a major setback came, and I had to leave my job. Everything fell apart again. It hurts deeply to see my parents in suffering; all I’ve ever wanted was for them to have some peace and happiness after a lifetime of struggles. Sometimes I struggle to understand why Allah would allow this when I was striving to do good, especially for my parents. I’ve avoided haram and maintained my prayers. I know the common reminder is that this is a test, but it has reached a point where it doesn’t feel like a test anymore-it feels like unending hardship, almost hour by hour, with no break in sight. The most confusing part is feeling distressed with Allah while simultaneously thinking about Him constantly. I keep wondering why help isn’t coming or if He feels the pain I’m in, especially when we’re told He is closer to us than our own jugular vein. I feel guilty admitting this, but it’s truly how my heart feels. I read and listen to Surah Ad-Duha every day, and it does bring some solace. Yet, at times, I worry that maybe Allah isn’t pleased with me anymore, and that those comforting words aren’t really meant for me. I wish for a sign, any small indication, that things will be okay, but instead, everything just seems to grow more difficult. I’ve reached a place where my iman feels shattered. I never imagined I would be here. I don’t mean any disrespect-I’m just overwhelmingly tired. I don’t ask for much from life; I just want to feel stable again. Even a tiny hint of relief or a small sign that better days are ahead would mean the world. All I ever wanted was a simple, ordinary life. And the challenges I’m facing feel uniquely severe compared to what others go through. Has anyone else experienced a time when your faith felt like it was crumbling under the weight of prolonged struggle? Did it eventually get better? Any specific duas or sincere advice would be deeply appreciated. Jazakum Allahu khayran.
