When will Allah’s help come, Ya Rab?

Assalamu Alaikum, I’ve been in a very dark psychological and emotional place for a long time, and lately it’s become almost too much to handle. It feels like Allah has turned His face away from me. I feel utterly alone; there’s no one who really understands me or even asks how I’m doing. I know we don’t always get instant cures just because we ask - I’ve learned that. But my struggles are the kind that only Allah’s help can truly fix. On New Year’s night, around 1 or 2 a.m., I reached my limit. I prayed to Allah with tears, begging. I called on His beautiful names and made the most sincere dua I could, crying out: When will Your help come? The next day I woke up feeling sick. I’ve been in pain for three days now. The nightmares, the constant pain, the aches - it’s become unbearable. Did I ask for too much? I sought refuge in His vast mercy and only asked for a little relief - just a bit. What would it have cost Him to grant what I asked for? I’m not asking for much. I just want to escape this suffocating state of mind and feel like a normal person again. If that sincere prayer was answered like this, I wish it hadn’t been answered at all. I’ve tried to stay close to Him. I kept up my salah, I reminded others about Islam when I could. Yet it feels like He just watched. Was I too much for His mercy? Allah knows better than anyone what I’m going through. Why does it feel like He doesn’t care about me? Am I truly so insignificant in His sight? What would it have cost Him to help me even a little? And yet, sometimes it seems He gives relief and joy to those who don’t believe... I don’t have an answer. I’m just sharing how broken and confused I feel, hoping someone might relate or make dua for me. May Allah grant patience, ease the pain of everyone who’s suffering, and answer our duas in the best way for us. Ameen.
