Feeling disconnected from the world

[LeonEl]

Does anyone else go through this feeling of just wanting to be alone and isolated from everyone and everything? This all happened almost a month ago where I suddenly fell very ill for 2 weeks. I went to the ER twice, and all lab work, tests, and examinations came back negative. In fact, they all said I was in "perfect health". When this started, I didn't eat or sleep for almost 3 days. I had chest pain, shortness of breath, no appetite, to name a few of the major symptoms. I'm able to eat and sleep again like normal but, I've never been able to fully recover from whatever it was I went through. My body always feels weak, I have low energy and, mentally, I don't seem to have the motivation to care about anything, work related or otherwise. I've never been depressed before but somehow I think I am atm. I've always been a nostalgic person, reminiscing on the past, but that only seems to fuel my sadness these days. I don't take any medications. My diet has mostly been the same throughout the years. I don't know what happened or is happening to me. Alhamdulillah, despite having missed some fasts during that time, I'm still able to full fill my basic religious obligations and inshaAllah I will be able to make up the days missed. Has anyone gone through, or is currently going through such a thing? I don't know what to do or how to cope with this.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتهYou should increase in making dhikr, such as the morning and evening du’as, prescribed dhikr before going to sleep etc and increase in your recitation of the Qur’an. Whilst it is important to look after your physical health, you also need to pay attention to your spiritual wellbeing and seeking protection from all kinds of harm. May Allah grant you good health and protection from all harm, Ameen.
