In reply to Zi.

Assalamu Alaikum, say like your mind is going crazy due to you being left alone, for years without the appropriate support networks or that you only had your family to help you offer or learn salah, but you refused as you was suffering from a deep sad emotion, and that you felt unloved due to having only family support but nobody much too talk to or get help, or that you didn’t live in a large Muslim community, and you felt left out, and was suffering from constant pain e.g falling into tears, or your brain losing consciousness, or severre depression, would you be forgiven for all those years of missed prayers or not wanting to learn salah, I know it can be hard to know what’s going through someone’s mind is that a valid excuse…only Allah Knows the problems or issues someone maybe facing…

In reply to Aroosha. Salam Aroosha, It's understandable to feel down when you feel you are far from Allah for not follwing the rules of Islam. Forgive yourself for Allah is the All Forgiving. All you need to do is ask Allah for forgiveness and Allah WILL forgive you. As the article mentions, when you get closer to Allah you will feel better. And don't ever think for a second that your deeds are too bad for Allah to accept you, no matter what you have done. He is always waiting for you to come back.

Wow, sub han Allah just reading all the comments on this article shows me how prominent depression is.

I wrote this article back in 2012 and I thought I had depression under control. But sub han Allah this disorder is something you can never or at least I can never ignore. It’s always lurking in the back and I constantly have to keep an eye on it.

Alhumdulillah I know that as long as I offer salah, I’ve got help even if I feel seriously depressed. I just keep imaging the skies of heaven like how Assia (may Allah bless her) saw angels covering her with wings when she was being tortured. We are not being tortured by someone but by scary thoughts.

As long as we have sabr and seek treatment, Allah will reward us for every shrilling depressive thoughts we have. I have complete faith in that and I hope you do.

Salaam

Assalam o alaikum!
From my childhood till now I am in suffering
And only Allah,s blessings with me.
But now I think there must be some change in my life with Allah,s blessings.
I am always thankful to Allah what He has given to me and what He is giving to me?
At this part of my life I want to have a life partener who may understand me,respect me,in a friendly environment we learn and grow.
A pure love it is so much difficult to get it but it is not impossible.
I think I will get it but I don’t know where is he?
I am in constant of his searching.
One love is beyond everything that is Allah,s love.
But this love is also necessary to live in this worldly life.
And who found it they spend a beautiful blessed married life.
And I want to be.
Without any greed he accept me as a life part enter.
With all these things he help me in improving my abilities.
It is my dream which may come true.
I want to prove myself a best wife.
Insha Allah

I am very depressive person. The main reason for being in depression is that people who are jealous of me have all rights to do anything wrong with me and I have no option or help to protect myself. I have no sister no brother, my father is neither a good husband nor a good father and everyone take advantage from this situation always do jealousy and selfishness with us. When I grow up with all these life hardships I had marriage with a person who always said that he loves only me and always cares but after marriage a big nightmare came in my life that a husband whom I trust and loves beyond my limits is a selfish person he only thinks about his family ( mother, father, sisters and brothers) not me and what ever his family do wrong with me he always support them we fought a lot but no cure since my marriage there is always tears in my eyes but nobody see them. I am in depression doctor feel samphathy on me and he prescribe anti depression for me . What can I do I feel alone so many times and nobody wipes my tears nobody understand my painful mental feelings, I ask ALLAH in alone that what is my fault.

In reply to Amaan Masood Malik.

Asaslaamualaikum Sr. Amaan,

When we feel that our body is not functioning as it should, it is usually trying to tell us that something is not right. As there are many causes of fatigue (e.g. lack of sleep, lack of exercise, poor nutrition etc.) I would highly encourage you to make a quick trip to your family doctor who can do a check up to ensure that everything is okay inside your body. Apart from this, I would recommend reading these articles and trying your best to implement as much as you can from them, in sha Allah
Healthy eating: https://productivemuslim.com/sisters-5-ways-to-a-healthier-diet/
Exercising: https://productivemuslim.com/sister-friendly-options-to-get-fit-and-stay-fit/
Sleeping right: https://productivemuslim.com/productivemuslim-sleep-routine/

Things which are sometimes linked to fatigue (e.g. lack of sleep) are also linked to poor memory. This is an article which provides excellent tips on how we can improve our memory: https://productivemuslim.com/top-6-tips-to-strengthen-your-memory/

Finally, start your day with the remembrance of Allah – praying fajr, reading Quran and doing some dhikr on a consistent basis is truly a refreshing and great way to kick start your day with lots of energy :) This article discusses this further: https://productivemuslim.com/whats-your-morning-routine/

Hope this helps :)
