This Ramadan has been really tough on me - got sick at the beginning and all I could do was stay in bed. Then I felt I was hitting my stride and yesterday I fainted 😣 is this a sign to slow down?

Don't fast if you are sick. Pay Fidya or make up for these fasts later in the year. Islam is not supposed to be hard.

Same position as you I fell sick yday and I’m bed ridden and its laylatul qadr time which sucks for us. Heres what i did last night- i woke up right before fajr and read surah ikhlas 3 times, made dua for things i want, read forgiveness dua, prayed fajr and went back to sleep.

Perhaps - are you working long hours? Cut back and take time to relax, pray and enjoy life. Work shouldn’t be 90% of what you do or live for
