Salam, I'm struggling with OCD and IBS.

Salam Alaikum, I've been dealing with OCD, IBS, and depression for months, and it's really weighing me down. Every day feels empty and tough. Brothers, I need your support. I understand that ignoring it is advised, but I can't seem to manage it-therapy feels out of reach for me now. My biggest challenge is with the Fatih prayer; it takes me over an hour just for the fard of noon prayer because I keep repeating parts. I also have a physical condition that adds to it. I'm at a point where I feel like I can't continue-I even hurt myself by scratching. Mentally, I'm often checked out, and the depression makes it harder. The OCD hits hard in the mosque; if there's a slight noise, I go back through verses almost twice. Struggling with Fatih and sitting properly in prayer is my main issue, and I worry about disturbing others if I recite aloud. This has been my state for a long time. May Allah grant ease to everyone.

This hit home. The OCD-mosque combo is brutal. Sending you strength.

Brother, I relate so much. The repetition in prayer is the hardest part. You're not alone in this fight.
