Prayer Request:
Assalamu alaykum,
I wanted some guidance from MSH specifically, if possible. I’ve been suffering from depression for years now and I see no way out. I feel like I’ve failed in life, haven’t achieved any of what I wanted to or was expected of me, been a let down to my family and friends. I don’t see where my life is headed or a future, I have no hope for anything. I don’t see the point or purpose. I feel completely lost and isolated. It feels like everybody around me has a purpose, is destined for something, except me.
I’m trying to be a better Muslim but I am really struggling with my prayers and daily awrad. It feels like all hope is lost and I have failed Allah. The guilt of my failures and disappointment eats away at me and I just don’t know what to do anymore.
JazakAllah.
