Struggling with Sadness and Missing My Prayers

Salam. Lately, I can barely summon the energy to do anything-not even brushing my teeth or eating. My hair’s all tangled and I’m so hungry. My mom thinks I’m just being dramatic and says shaytan is happy because of my depression, and that I’m heading toward punishment. And honestly, part of me thinks maybe that’s true. I’ve let my salah slip and feel like I’ve disappointed Allah so much that I don’t deserve His mercy anymore, so I just gave up on myself.

This broke my heart. Honestly, a lot of us have been there. You're not dramatic. Just making this post shows you care about your deen. That's still imaan.

May Allah ease your pain. Look into therapy if you can, and don't let guilt pile on. Even the strongest companions had moments of deep sadness.

Sending dua your way. Your worth isn't in your productivity. Allah sees your struggle. Sometimes just breathing and surviving the day is a huge act of worship.
