Struggling with my faith secretly

Assalamu alaikum. I've had this heavy feeling for over a year now, like my iman is slowly fading and it's tearing me up inside. I'm in a Muslim country, surrounded by family and society that expect certain things from me. I still pray-it's like the only rope I'm holding onto. But Ramadan came and went, and I barely touched the Quran, maybe prayed taraweeh just a couple of times. I think the issue is coming from inside me, not shaytan or anything else. It's so confusing because I can't just let go while living here with my family. I'm still young, and I keep hoping things will get better as I grow older, but deep down I'm not sure they will. Just feeling really lost.

Honestly? The fact that you're worried about it means your iman isn't dead, it's just struggling. Don't let guilt eat you up. Small consistent acts, even a short adhkar after fajr, can slowly bring back the spark.

Sis, I feel this in my soul. It's like the emptiness comes in waves, but holding onto salah is everything. Maybe try just one page of Quran a day, no pressure. You're not alone in this struggle.
