Struggling with PMDD and My Salah – Need Islamic Guidance
Assalamu alaikum, I’m a sister dealing with PMDD, a severe hormonal disorder that hits me really hard for about 10 days before my period. It brings intense emotional and physical symptoms, and since March, I’ve also been battling awful waswas that just keeps getting worse. During those days, my prayers become a struggle. I find myself crying, screaming, or even hitting myself while trying to pray. I feel like such a hypocrite because I can’t focus on my deen, and it’s so hard to even get out of bed and pray on time. After salah, I’m too drained for dhikr, and my mind is swamped with dark thoughts. I’m scared that my prayers in those days aren’t accepted. Please, any Islamic advice to ease my mind? Jazakum Allahu khayran.
