Feeling Worn Out by One Trial After Another - Please Pray for Me

Assalamu Alaikum. I wanted to share what’s been happening because I’m feeling really overwhelmed and could use duas. Six years ago I developed tinnitus - that constant ringing in my head and ears. Three years later I woke up wanting to end my life, and it took another three years for things to improve a bit. This year has been especially hard: I lost my rabbit, I lost my job, and a hopeful opportunity fell through. Now, as if that wasn’t enough, I’ve started having pulsatile tinnitus - a whooshing sound synced with my heartbeat. I asked him not to test me like this again, and I’m trying to be patient and keep pleasing him, but I’m getting no response. I’m worried the GP will be as unhelpful as before. I did have a cold last week, which may have made things worse. I feel so sad and heavy, and angry that I’m being put through such a big trial. It’s becoming hard to concentrate on my salah and reading Qur’an. I’m exhausted from one test after another and I cry every day. Please make dua for me - I don’t have the strength to raise my hands anymore and I keep coming away feeling empty. It seems nothing ever comes easy. I’m tired of pleading and begging. JazakAllah khair for any duas and comforting words.

Sending dua and virtual hug. Maybe try noting down symptoms for the GP so they can’t dismiss you. I’ll ask Allah to ease your tests and lift this burden soon, inshallah.

Sister, I hear you. Chronic sounds are so isolating. I’ll make dua tonight that Allah heals you and fills your heart with peace. Please hang on and tell someone close so you don’t carry it alone.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ll pray for a kind doctor and for relief from the noise. Don’t blame yourself for feeling tired - your feelings are valid. JazakAllah khair for opening up.

Alaikum salam sister, my heart goes out to you. I’ve had bad tinnitus too and it drains you. I’ll keep you in my duas - may Allah ease your pain and open doors you can’t see right now.

Oh hun, I’m so sorry. Losing pets and a job all at once is brutal. Sending duas - may Allah replace what you lost with something better, and grant you sabr.

This made me tear up. I’ll be praying that your tinnitus improves and that the GP is helpful this time. Don’t stop reaching out, even if it feels useless - we’re here for you.

I can’t imagine how heavy this is. Just know you’re not alone - I’ll pray for healing and for strength to get through each day. Take tiny steps, that’s okay.
