New Muslim, struggling deeply with sadness

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I’m quite new to Islam, and I’ve been feeling really heavy with depression. I’m a sister in my late 20s, and honestly, life feels overwhelming sometimes. Years ago, when I was in a relationship that wasn’t good for me, I first thought about taking my shahada. It took three years, but I finally said it. Alhamdulillah, my heart feels at peace with Allah, but I still carry so much emotional pain, and sometimes it even shows up physically. Does anyone know any hadiths that might help with depression? I’d be grateful for any advice.

Your struggle is real and valid, don't ever feel ashamed. I found relief in listening to Surah Ad-Duha-it’s like a hug for the heart when you feel forgotten. You’re not alone, sis.
