Is it wrong to ask Allah to take my soul when I'm overwhelmed?

Assalamu alaikum. Lately, everything feels so heavy, and I've been asking Allah to just let me leave this world. I know it might sound bad, but the thought brings me some peace. Since my father passed away, I've lost all sense of safety. I don't want to study, I don't want to think about a husband-I just feel completely drained. I've been crying myself to sleep for two months, and it doesn't seem to get better. I'm an emotional person, I cry easily and feel scared by everything. The one man I relied on as a child is gone, and I can't lean on a husband now because I have to be independent in case things don't work out. But with my anxiety and poor grades, I feel incapable of that too. I just want to rest, I don't want anything from this dunya anymore. I want this life to end because I can't bear feeling so unsafe and insecure anymore.

Sister, your father's love was a gift, but remember, Allah is Al-Wali, the Protecting Friend. Turn to Him. Small steps-just one breath at a time. You'll get through this.

May Allah grant you shifa. Instead of asking for death, try saying 'Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel'. He is the protector you're missing. Talk to someone, please.

Sis, your pain is so valid, but please don't wish for death. Allah tests those He loves. Cry out to Him, but ask for ease, not an end. You're not alone.
