I am a muslim who genuinely have some questions and I hope you are peaceful in discussion

I feel like worrying is stressful. Managing your life with the stress of having to watch out for the world to end is very draining. I’m trying to focus on being productive in my own life, concentrating on myself and making my life better by becoming a better person. But those worries as a child and the stress of the day when you’re going to be judged aren’t so uncommon. I have the same anxiety now as a adult but I’m trying to not distract me from living life. When you’re younger everything sounds so detrimental. Everything’s so be and end all. Now I’m older I know you got to take the bad with the good. You can’t have the pie and eat it too. Life can take down different paths I’m trying not too get involved in peoples comments but I get distracted it’s mad.

Nerves about something you can’t control is natural. I don’t know any sheikhs. God intervened for me. There is parts of my life that aren’t easy. But I know I wouldn’t be back in a healthy place without god. People do whatever need to do to get through the day. Even kids. Overthinking and over talking it’s all stress. There’s bad distractions like going after the unknown and there’s healthy distractions. Focus on what’s working for you. I heard that if allah or god wanted you to pray to him or ask for help from him you would already be doing it. It’s being thankful for being alive, joyful times and just thanking god for the necessities. Fears and anxiousness comes from a bad place. But asking for help will get hard will feel unbearable. My point is if you don’t ask you won’t get. Once you get a sign those issues with stress they won’t disappear but they’ll be bearable.
