I try my best to not waste this ramadan but I still struggle to be Muslim

Support/Advice

After wasting 2025's Ramadan I was trying my best to avoid repeating the same thing I tried to stop it happening again in 2026 Ramadan but still doesn't work skipping prayer after pray I feel like I was losing hope and losing the battle with my desires as I seen 3 things that is dragging me down from 2025's Ramadan and this one pride and inpatientice Inpatience:this is the reason why I can't go consistently to the masjid as I live near by to a masjid when I go inside I have to wait 11 or 14 minutes while waiting I start getting mad as my thoughts slowly take over like "why should I wait long or a prayer that I could have had fun at home" then more and more will start developing until prayer feels unbearable Pride:when I am at home playing games I hear the call of prayer I want to pray but then there's a voice that comes to my head it's only one prayer you can pray later brother then i start to belive it I just outright ingnore the prayer finally Gaming addiction this is the biggest thing that makes me avoid prayer because games are to addicting and also effects my school and personal life not only my Islamic life motivated to study just one more game it won't hurt I want to pray come on go finish the match then go pray, if you can help I just want someone to guide me and make feel hopeful about the future of this year's Ramadan I hope
