going through a really tough time lately

assalamu alaikum everyone, i’m not sure where to share this but i just needed to let it out and maybe get some advice. this past week has been so heavy, life feels overwhelming and i’m drained. i’m juggling so many things and i barely have any strength left. i carry so much guilt and shame for mistakes i’ve made, and it haunts me constantly-i can’t shake it. whenever something goes wrong, i immediately think it’s because of the bad things i’ve done. i feel so alone too, and lately i’ve been having dark thoughts about not wanting to be here. the guilt and shame are just too much, especially since i never intended for things to turn out this way. it’s not like i chose this path, but i can’t stop feeling miserable. i try to pray and i do feel better for a while, but then the sadness comes back-maybe from something i see online or a memory from the past. it’s just not fair. i know i haven’t shared every detail, i’m not great with words, and honestly i’m not even sure what i’ve written makes sense. all i wanted to say is that i feel hopeless, worthless, and like nothing i do matters to anyone. i keep thinking, what’s the point of living? i really need help on how to deal with these thoughts because it’s not getting better, and i just don’t know anymore.

Sweetheart, your words hit me. I’ve been there, but this darkness isn’t permanent. Don’t let shaytan make you hopeless. Your life matters to Allah, that’s why you’re still breathing. Reach out if you need to vent, seriously.

Wa alaikum assalam sis. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Please remember Allah’s mercy is bigger than any mistake. Try to make istighfar a lot, it really eases the heart. And talk to someone you trust, you’re not alone.

Oh hun, I feel you so much. That guilt spiral is brutal. But guilt is a sign of iman, it means your heart is alive. Keep clinging to salah even if you feel nothing. This will pass, I promise. You’re in my duas.

This made my heart ache. Please don’t lose hope in Allah’s rahma. Even when we sin, He’s waiting for us to return. Cry in sujood, pour it all out. And maybe see a Muslim therapist? No shame in that.
