I am a young man with waswasa (obsessive thoughts), and when I go to perform wudu, I spend a long time between the bathroom and the place of wudu because I suffer from frequent passing of gas. Sometimes gas comes out during prayer times, and I can't tell when to hold my wudu to go to prayer. This is where a new problem begins; during prayer, I suffer from severe anxiety, especially while reciting Al-Fatiha, to the point that one of my friends asked me: 'Are you going into battle while reciting Al-Fatiha?' due to the tension that shows on my face during the recitation. This, in turn, leads to losing the wudu that I fought hard to achieve. All of this has led me into a state of depression that resulted in neglecting my prayers, as prayer has turned from a mercy into a nightmare that halts my entire life - due to anxiety and waswasa. What is the solution?
