My chest feels heavy, my mind is foggy, and I feel like I keep messing up

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I just finished university, but instead of feeling relieved, I'm honestly lost. It seems like nothing is going right, and I can't seem to fix anything. The anxiety hits me daily, and all this stress is just building up inside-it’s like I can feel it physically, deep in my bones. I’m a Muslim trying to rely more on Allah’s mercy and guidance, sticking to halal, trying to be punctual with my salah, and making an effort to read Qur’an regularly. But I still feel trapped, like this inner pain won’t ever stop. If anyone has advice, please share. Have you ever been through something like this? What helped you get through it?

You’re doing the right things, bro. Don’t underestimate the power of istighfar. It opens doors you didn’t know were shut. This phase will pass, trust Allah’s timing.

I remember that fog. A brother advised me to walk after Fajr and just breathe. It clears the mind. Combine that with Qur'an and you’ll feel a difference, in sha Allah.

Been there. That heaviness in the chest is real. What helped me was dhikr in the morning and evening, even just Astaghfirullah a hundred times. It slowly lightened the fog. May Allah ease your burden.

Physical symptoms of stress are tough. Maybe see a doctor too? Sometimes your body needs help alongside your soul. No shame in that. Allah created both.

Wa alaikum assalam. Bro, I feel you. That post-uni crash is no joke. Keep clinging to your salah, even when it feels empty. It’s your anchor. Things will shift, in sha Allah.
