sick almost all year. I have to optimize my week to keep my job. It is exhausting. It’s meant turning down a lot of things that I want or need. Isolating me from friends who don’t get it (I can’t blame them). I keep trying faith but it is difficult understanding why God makes me suffer so much. Just keep telling myself this is happening for a reason and God is there. Not sure what I’m looking for maybe some duas I can read to keep mentally strong rn b/c feels bleak atm. 🤍

I've been there (and still am to some extent). Know that you are with best company as none were tested more than our Prophets.

Everything comes to an end, including your challenging times. In the meantime try to dwell on the other blessings in your life. Spend more time in nature. Reduce social media usage. Do what brings you joy.

Relief will come (and continues to come even w/o us realising).

Thank you! I’m trying to find more ways to see gratitude in hopes that Allah SWT will relieve my suffering and if not relive it help me find a way to bear it.

A friend of mine did personal research and found she had fibromyalgia after she had undiagnosed fatigue which was debilitating. It’s a unique case but what is causing your illness? Dua is wonderful, of course, but brainstorming about solutions can also help.

I am sorry about your case but I will DM you a link around what this person did to address her condition. In the meantime, sending you strength!

May Allah bless you with complete shifa (healing). May Allah bless you with every form of goodness. One of my favorite du’as is below. If you haven’t already I also suggest getting a complete blood panel done to figure out the source of your sickness (assuming you don’t know). May Allah remove the source of your sickness and restore your health. Ameen 🤲🏻

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!
