It didn’t happen all at once.
At first, it was just small things… overthinking more than usual, restless nights, feeling tired… even after sleeping.
She told herself it was just a phase. That it would pass.
But it didn’t.
Her mind wouldn’t stop. One thought turned into another… and another… until even silence felt loud.
Her heart felt heavy — not broken… just heavy.
She started to feel distant… from herself… and from Allah.
Even the things that once brought her comfort didn’t feel the same anymore.
She tried to stay strong. Tried to fix it on her own.
But nothing really changed.
She smiled when she had to… but inside, she felt lost.
And the hardest part? She didn’t know how to fix it.
