Alsalam 'alaykom
The best thing u said is to develop your relationship with the creator, this is the best thing to do now, just forget about everything else and concentrate on that, because the stronger the bonds between u and Allah, the stronger u will be in facing all the problems in the world, any problem will be easy to u if u find yourself pleasing the only one and only creator of this universe. Also if u reach to the point that your heart is filled with the love of Allah only and caring to please him only, then beleive me you will be stronger in your faith, and everything else will be no problem at all.
This is a hadeeth by the Prophet(PBUH), it is actually a prayer which u can read after prayers:
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 534: in Sahih Bukhari
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Whenever the Prophet offered his Tahajjud prayer, he would say, "O Allah, our Lord! All the praises are for You; You are the Keeper (Establisher or the One Who looks after) of the Heavens and the Earth. All the Praises are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is therein. You are the Truth, and Your saying is the Truth, and Your promise is the Truth, and the meeting with You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth, and the (Hell) Fire is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender myself to You, and believe in You, and I put my trust in You (solely depend upon). And to You I complain of my opponents and with Your Evidence I argue. So please forgive the sins which I have done in the past or I will do in the future, and also those (sins) which I did in secret or in public, and that which You know better than I. None has the right to be worshipped but You."
this is very powerful, say it with strong beleif in your heart and it will help u a lot.
And this one shows u how Allah(SWT) will come closer to u if u rush to him :
Sahih Muslim, Chapter 1: EXHORTATION FOR THE REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH, THE EXALTED
Book 035, Number 6471:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, thus stated: I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.
May Allah bless u and help u with all that u r going through, Ameen.
