Seeking Strength and Peace: Finding Hope Amid Anxiety
As a revert to Islam, I often feel deep anxiety and exhaustion. For years, chronic fatigue has made keeping a job tough, yet alhamdulillah, life has many blessings. Still, hope for recovery feels distant as I surrender these struggles to Allah, trusting them as part of my test. Loneliness at home or stress over unpredictable outings-like plan changes or social worries-weighs heavy. While I once turned to self-help, I now rely on Allah, even when anxiety persists. Seeing others face hardship reminds me of my own grief and pain, and I feel ashamed my gratitude doesn’t overcome these feelings. May Allah strengthen our iman and purify our hearts. Any advice or shared experiences are welcome.
