Finding peace through prayer despite mental health challenges

Assalamu alaykum. I'm dealing with chronic depression and anxiety that I've struggled with for a decade now. One of the biggest challenges I face is establishing a consistent prayer routine – I feel deep regret over all the years I've missed, even though it's only the five daily ones. I grew up in a home where prayer wasn't practiced regularly, and sometimes I wish someone had encouraged me so it would feel more like a natural habit now. Even though I've always believed in Islam and tried to stay on the right path, the depression comes with anhedonia – it comes and goes unpredictably. I'm on medication and working to manage it, but there were about four years where I basically stopped functioning – I left my studies, barely left the house, and struggled with even basic tasks like personal hygiene or talking to people. In those moments, prayer feels like a mountain I can't climb, and I feel ashamed of that. But I can honestly say that my faith in Allah is the only thing that kept me going during my darkest times. Alhamdulillah, I'm blessed with a loving family, financial stability, and a home, and I know others face much greater struggles – which sometimes makes me feel even more guilty. For eight years, I've been trying to get back on track, but my mental health keeps getting in the way. Every time I feel like I'm making progress, I end up back at the beginning. I just want to do better. May Allah forgive me for all the prayers I've missed.
