Answer 1

Rana:Why do you feel lost? And how do you feel lost?
Just answer those two questions, on a sheet of paper with your hand writing and you will find that you are not lost and there is no reason for that (based on experience)
We feel lost for different reasons;
1)feel guilty towards God.. Are you?
2) feel guilty towards the family, are you?
3) have a health disaster. Have you?
4) have a financial disaster . (can not eat, and sleep in the streets), Have you?
5)Did a crime and being chased by the police, and the society, did you?
There is also a reason to feel lost, is being lonely although you are surrounded by people, simply , just try to accept others the way they are, and melt with them even if you do not like their ways,,
Do not be hard on yourself, you are in an age , when you want to achieve subconsciously lots of things but do not know how,,, the solution will come by itself, when you are getting older and know how to achieve them, or when you are more older,, and do not want to achieve anything, (like me now),,,just wait, and everything will be ok
Last advise: Love , this is normal in your age, you may suffer later, but it is part of the life experience , and enjoy , listen to music , be a human, religions are meant to solve our life problems and help us to worship God in a right way, if they lead us to feel lost, there must be a mistake applying them (I do not ask you to sin,, but relax a little, and just explore life)
Say Allhamdallah, two days ago I was in lille in France, while waking in the streets at nigh and it was severely cold and raining, I saw many human beings sleeping on the floor, in the streets, if you are lost, how we can describe those…(and eat your father honey , will make you healthy and relaxed

@@edit: you know i do not like to discuess religious matters, but i will do for you:
You should not feel guilty as i Know you did no Kabaer and even if you did ,you regret now, we are just humans God knows we are doing mistakes that is why there is (7esab), we obey God not because we feel guilty but because we Love Him,,and we can not deprive Him one of his closest name to HIm ( Al Raheem)...If God said that, would we feel guilty and deprive Him this great name (asta3'er allah),,I would feel guilty, just not to think that He is Al Raheem..

Answer 2

I'm not sure that I can answer your question. But I would like to try. I wish that you could tell me more. I once went through a period when I always had the feeling that I had to be somewhere but I didn't know where it was and this sensation caused me a great deal of anxiety until I was on the right path. I don't know if you're going through a similar thing. You have these feelings at night. Are you married? I kind of think that you're lonely and really desire a loving relationship with a man. You probably have the feeling of being lost because you are ripe for a love relationship and those feelings of longing and desire are overcoming you. This seems realistic especially because it happens at night.
At night you have fewer distractions so you are able to get in touch with your instincts and you have a more difficult time avoiding yourself. Perhaps you're inner self is telling you that you need to be involved with something that is more meaningful for you. Maybe you're just dissatisfied with whatever it is that you are doing. You know that we automatically take on the desires and wants of our parents and the surroundings that we grow up with. Our inner beings very often have very different attitudes and wants and when we don't follow our own path we can feel lost. It sounds like something inside of you wants to come out or be set free. We as human beings live on different levels. There is the outer world and there is also our inner world. Maybe your unconscious is pressing to make something known to you. You have to trust your instincts. Let your instincts guide you. When you come to the right decission or place, that sense of being lost will leave you. It will not last forever.
There is a story about a king who was bored and gathered around all of his advisers and told them what he wanted for his birthday. He said that he wanted something that whenever he looked at it, he had the possibility to change his mood. It he was sad, it might enable him to be happy. If he was happy, perhaps it would change his mood to sobriety. All of his advisers were perplexed and didn't know what to do for him so the king's court officer went to see a wiseman who lived in the king's kingdom. When the wiseman heard what the king wanted he had a gift made for the king. It was a ring. And written on the ring was the following words: "This too will pass."
I hope that your journey in self-discovery will be an interesting one.

Answer 3

I hope you don't spend too much time in front of your computer Rana.

a while ago I went through that exact feeling, and I was really feeling down, depressed and my life was not going very well at all. I realised that I spend about 9 hours or more infront of the computer, at work and when I go back home.

I used to do chatting and playing those strategy games that take weeks to finish.

I found that I don't interact with outside world bacame internet addicted, so I decided to change that.

The Internet also occupies your whole brain and you will not be able to think of anything else, therefore you will unlikely be able to plan for your future, even the very near future.

Answer 5

Well That question is probably one of the most commonly asked questions of our age .....very strange when you consider that we live in times of amazing achievement & material blessing.
Maybe it has a lot to do with the pressure & expectations put on people today to achieve in all areas of their lives .....who can possibly meet these expectations ?
Take some friendly advice from someone who has lived through it all & survived, make sure your goals are realistic & meet your heartfelt needs ....those that will give you lasting contentment. Don't be convinced by others that you need to meet their expectations in order to be a worthwhile human being ......... You are that already !
Rest assured that you are not alone & that there are many who care about you . Bless you Rana

Answer 6

may be it's just the "winter blues"
as you don't know the reason your question hints at a process, from mood swings to a slow teetering toward the “abyss” the “lack of everything.” What you are asking is an uncomfortable, yet common, experience that most people (including me )have at some point in their lives, if not every winter

Answer 8

Hey there, my dear, don't take such feelings to heart.
There are times in our lives when no matter how on track, or how well things in general are going, we have feelings of hopelessness, or dis-connectedness.
Continue doing the things you value; take extra time to pray and meditate on holy writings; spend some time helping others who don't have certain advantages that you may experience.
In time your feelings of solidarity and belonging will return. Try not to dwell on negative thoughts, but create positive ones.
Best wishes and blessings to you.

Answer 9

do you remember the song of Abdel Wahab which was sung by abdel Halim?
it says :
min ain ge't ?last adry ....
this is a philosophical question of all times.
when we think too deeply, we get lost.
my advice is that you accept things in your life without too much questioning.
be at ease. take a deep breath.
say , bism ellah al rahman al rahhim.
make a new start , it will work, in sha alah.

Answer 10

In The Remembrance Of Allah Do The Hearts Find Rest

By remembering Allah, clouds of worry and fear are driven away, and the mountains that make up your problems are blown away

He is near when supplicated: He hears when He is called and He answers when asked for, so humble yourself before Him and ask of Him sincerely.
