Since I don't hear voices I can't tell, but prayer makes me feel good and export negative energy elsewhere.

I am sorry, not so much for getting educated, as we found out in the slavery thread. You let your, rather fanatical, beliefs get in the way of getting educated, like so mane people. Its a shame.

I pray, God listens, he is close
Again, you said it: You pray and you feel better. No feedback at all from anything external to you. So, how do you know that Allah listens?
I feel genuinely sorry for you. But part of your situation and state of mind is the result of your own doing.
