Root of depression and anxiety: cutting your relationship with Allah SWT. If you pray five times a day, read the Qur'an, busy yourself with work or education, you'll be fine. When the Muslim person abandons his religion he will be lost in wilderness alone and sad.
I went to a doctor bcoz I thought I had depression a while ago He gave me a medicine called lexapro but after I took one I felt even worse for a week so I stoppedDoes therapy actually help? I have my doubts
This is always helps. Walaahi our teenage years, depression and anxiety lama aqoon, we didn't even know it existed. I think waxa weeyaan these smartphones iyo social media garbage. May Allah guide us.
Awwww SumaayaSpeak to a professional, like your Dr and always remember that "Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest"
May Allah SWT take away all your worries and distress and replace it with calmness and contentment ❤
Awwww Sumaaya ❤

The Poem of Imam Shaafi'i reminds me of a nasheed about depression called: My Hope (يارجائى)Firstly it’s perfectly normal to feel sorrow and despair. May Allah make it easy for you. Life is not a bunch of roses.
However you need to examine what is causing this despair. Is it a family situation has something happened, betrayal, conflict, helplessness or worry.
Secondly you need to examine how you have respond to the test Allah has given you. Because ;
“Amazing is the affair of the believer, verily all of his affair is good and this is not for no one except the believer. If something of good/happiness befalls him he is grateful and that is good for him. If something of harm befalls him he is patient and that is good for him” (Saheeh Muslim #2999)
Imam shafi said
“ When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow
I took my hope in Your pardon and forgiveness as an opening and an escape
My sins seemed very great to me but when I compared them to Your forgiveness
I found Your forgiveness to be greater ”
Abdullaah bin Masood – radi Allaahu anhu –said: ‘Imaan is of two halves: half is patience and half is gratitude.’

“We tested them with good times and bad that perhaps they would return [to obedience].” (Al-A’rāf 7:168)
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
Allah the Almighty said: I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a cubit, and if he draws near to Me a cubit, I draw near to him a fathom. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed....
((So do not become weak, nor be sad))[4]
((These will be given their reward twice over, because of what they were patient with))
((But give glad tidings to those who are patient. Who when afflicted with calamity say: “Truly! To Allaah we belong and to Him we shall return. “They are those on whom are the Salaawat (who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and they are those who receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones.))[12]
.....Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy....
“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear” (2:286)
“Whoever puts his trust in Allah; He will be enough for Him.” (65:3)
“Do not lose hope, nor be sad. You will surely be victorious if you are true believers.” (3:139)
“O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” (2:153)
Do not be sad verily Allah is with us (9:40)
