Struggled with a bad habit for years, finally left it behind this Ramadan... but feeling off lately.

So this past Ramadan, I made the firm intention, with Allah's help, to quit a harmful habit I'd been stuck in for years. Alhamdulillah, Ramadan came and went, and now another month has almost passed... and I haven't had a single urge. It's like the desire was just completely lifted from me, subhanAllah. The thing is, even though I'm so grateful for that, I've been feeling really down these last few days. Lost interest in a lot of stuff. I even got my highest marks ever in physics and felt... nothing. No happiness at all. And now, every little thing seems to make me angry, my heart feels like it's racing all the time. It's not about the old habit anymore, Alhamdulillah. I just don't know what's going on with me. Maybe it's a test, or something my soul is adjusting to. Has anyone else experienced this after making a big change for the sake of Allah?

SubhanAllah, the relief is a huge blessing. The rest could be a spiritual test. Seek istikhara and talk to someone you trust.

MashaAllah on quitting! The low mood might just be your body and soul detoxing. Keep up the good deeds, it'll pass.

Yeah, experienced something similar. It's like your brain doesn't know how to feel good without the old thing. Patience is key.

Totally normal. Your old habit was a coping mechanism. Now you gotta find a healthy replacement. Try hitting the gym or something.

Sounds like withdrawal's mental side. Give it time, your brain needs to rewire. Allah doesn't burden a soul beyond what it can bear.

Alhamdulillah for your success. This phase is temporary, a sign of real change. Stay connected to the Quran and community.

Been there. The void after leaving a major habit can hit hard. Praying helps. It's a test, stay strong brother.
