Answer
If you felt depressed during this Ramadan, there are some questions to ponder.
Did you feel the same before Ramadan started too?
What were your symptoms, and which were the most difficult to deal with?
Was your sadness connected to some painful memory about this time of year? Did you have social support around, or did you spend the month alone?
Answering these questions may help you find some reasons behind your depressed state so you can look into how to alleviate it.
Seek counseling to help you, and do it immediately if you have reached the point where you are thinking about self-harm and suicide.
