Why does it feel like my duas are never answered?

Salam everyone. I've been struggling with something for a long time and I need to get it off my chest. Since I was young, so many things I've prayed for with all my heart have been taken away from me in painful ways. I'm not talking about anything haram, just normal things like jobs, health, family stuff, etc. I sit on my prayer mat, crying, begging Allah for help, and then... nothing. Or worse, things get worse. I know life is a test and Allah knows best, but doesn't it ever stop? I've made istighfar, prayed Salat al-Hajat, you name it. Recently I went through something really tough and I asked Allah to at least protect my dignity, but even that was gone. Now I'm scared to make dua because what if whatever I ask for gets taken away too? I'm tired and hurt and I don't know what to do anymore. Has anyone else felt like this? How do you keep going?
