If you're feeling hopeless, please read this, may Allah ease it

As-salamu alaykum. I felt a sudden urge to share this today in case it helps someone out there. A couple years ago I left a comment under an Islamic video asking people to keep me in their duas: "If anyone sees this, please keep me in your prayers. I'm going through intense mental pain and I see no way out, please keep me in your duas" I wrote that at what I can only call one of the most soul-crushing, torturous, hopeless times of my life. I was being mentally tormented for hours, couldn't sleep, barely ate, and couldn't find any small bit of joy or hope. To be blunt, the only thing stopping me from ending it all was the thought that the punishment of hell would be worse than what I was feeling, and I didn't think I could handle that. I truly had zero hope that things would get better. A few months later, Alhamdulillah, Allah changed everything. I slowly began to breathe easier. Sleep returned. I could eat more than a bite or two. Little joys came back. Then relief and a kind of justice I never imagined showed up. I was able to go outside again because my legs could carry me. The terror faded day by day. I got a great job and in 2024 I experienced a peace I hadn't felt in years. During the worst times, I kept praying. I made dua constantly. I begged Allah with tears to end it because I couldn't even picture how the pain could stop. I prayed tahajjud, fasted on the day of Arafah, recited the dua of Prophet Yunus (AS) over and over, and, with a heart full of paralyzing fear, I tried my best to trust Allah to fix it - and He did. Your relief will come too. Whatever you're facing, relief will come. Your duas are being heard; you are not alone or abandoned. As painful and scary as it feels, keep insisting on that dua. Make it. Your impossible situation is easy for Allah. Have faith in Him. Forgive those who hurt you, because when your time comes, Allah will forgive you as well. May Allah bless you with what you pray for and lift your burdens.
