I have been dealing with irregular periods for the past year due to weight gain which im trying to lose. Before this i could hold my wudu for long periods and id say i was more on top of my salah
Recently ive been struggling with spotting meaning i have to perform wudu before each salah after the time for the prayer comes in and ngl this has been a struggle for me. Constant discharge/bleeding and timings for salah are slightly awkward esp when I am at work or out i feel like i have to rush before I miss the salah or if im at home about to go somewhere i have to wait for the prayer time to make wudu before getting ready
Sometimes i feel like i cant leave the house because theres no bathroom id feel comfortable in, there are days i bleed like a period and others where its just discharge. This whole thing has really made me lose focus
I used to get up for fajr with ease, now im either sleeping through the alarm or waking up just after sunrise. Im really distracted in salah to the point i keep missing to do tashahudd between rakah’s and i get so frustrated because i have to repeat the entire thing and then ill make the same mistake
Its almost like i gave myself 3ayn because id go on about how i can hold my wudu for long periods. This might sound like nothing to some but its really knocked my confidence and relationship with Allah. Even surat al kahf i find little motivation to read on a friday which was a regular thing for me
In terms of my spotting i have seen doctors and been on meds which stopped it for a bit but about 2 months ago it returned so I’m seeing the doctor again
I just felt like sharing this if anyone has experienced something similar and how they navigated it
