Assalamu alaikum!
Hope you all are doing well in these times. Lately I’ve been feeling really down and unmotivated (I have anxiety and mild depression) especially these last few months due to COVID-19 still running rampant as well as the increasing chaos that’s happening in the US in regards to the upcoming election (I live there), and I wanted to ask for some advice or help on sources to learn more Islamically about how to combat how I’m feeling.
I don’t know truly how to explain it, but seeing just how much corruption, selfishness and evil there is here in the US and around the world has taken a toll on me mentally, to a point where I’m now feeling like the world is never going to get better or that it’s completely hopeless. Seeing constant negativity and corruption that seems to get worse and worse by the day has made me more negative and depressed in my daily life, and I try to avoid it at times for the sake of my mental health, but it seems to be happening everywhere, almost as if I can’t avoid it. Similarly I live with my parents, and so I worry for them possibly getting COVID or losing their jobs because until a vaccine is found, given how the US is being run, COVID is continually going to get worse in the US for awhile.
I don’t want to keep being negative and depressed, it’s been taking a heavy heavy toll on my deen, but I don’t know how to combat it really. I know that Allah (SWT) promises us that with hardship comes ease and that He’s the most Merciful and Forgiving, but I always get stuck in my mind that these issues are just going to keep getting worse and worse and that there isn’t going to be ease. I hate thinking this way, I know deep down that Allah (SWT) wants good for us and this life is a test, but I’m stuck in the mindset where I think that I’m just being punished continuously and there’s no hope left. Any advice on how to combat the negative mindset?
I apologize if I over shared at all, but I do hope Allah (SWT) makes all of you happy in this life and the Hereafter. ❤️❤️
