I am so depressed

as salaam mu alaikum all!

o have just become a member of this forums thing(iknow i should be more computer litterate but im getting there slowly)

i was depressed at one stage too..but i didnt know it if that makes sense.i also felt like iwas fine around pple but when i was alone....i couldnt me alone.sleeping alone made me scared.and now being ramadhaan i have tried to change my bad habits and to learn alot moe about islam and i read salaah more regularly and i find that i am a happier person!that i can sit on my musallah and face Allah and beg him to forgive me...cos im not a saint as my nickname suggests.anywya my point is that i think if u sincerely sit and ask Allah to help you concentrate and to forgive the sins you hVE COMMITTED then that would help.

Assalamu Alaikum:

I am new on this forum, but I found the posts so interesting I had to reply to a few.

I too have gone through periods of highs and lows in my Islamic journey. That is natural as Imaan is always changing. But I always tell myself to be patient and I remember that Allah did not reveal the entire Quran to the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) at one time as it would have overwhelmed the Sahaba. They took 25 years to perfect Islam, and they were the best of us and in the company of the Prophet. I'm just a simple woman who was blessed enough to find Islam.

When I look at it this way, I don't feel so bad.
