He has a lot of problems and feels jealous of others
Question

                I have a whole range of personal issues: from a low self-esteem to constant guilt over certain decisions that I can’t go back and change. Whenever I see happy Muslims, especially couples, I feel a sense of bitterness and envy, and would blame myself for being unable to have what they've got. One of my uncles told me these feelings are from the jinn and that I should seek ruqyah, but I worry that if I blame the jinn I'm just seeking a scapegoat over clearly psychological issues. What should I do?
Praise be to Allah.
	Firstly: 

	We are happy to find among 
	Muslims such excellent awareness of their psychological or mental problems. 
	You have done well not to blame these problems on the jinn, because many 
	people go to extremes in that, and every time something happens to one of 
	them he says that it is because of the jinn, even though Allah, may He be 
	glorified and exalted, has set boundaries for their realm which cannot be 
	crossed except if Allah wills, and He has appointed for people guardians 
	from among the angels who protect them from evil. Allah, may He be glorified 
	and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

For each one 
	are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree 
	of Allah. (ar-Ra‘d 13:11) 

	Al-Hafiz Ibn Katheer (may Allah 
	have mercy on him) said: 

	That is, each person has angels 
	who come to him in succession, guarding him by night and by day, protecting 
	him against bad things and accidents, just as other angels come to him in 
	succession to record his deeds, both good and bad, angels who come by night 
	and by day. So there are two angels on the right and left who record his 
	deeds, and two other angels who protect him and guard him, one behind him 
	and another in front of him. So he is surrounded by four angels by day and 
	four others by night, two guarding him and two recording his deeds.End quote from 
	Tafseer al-Quran and ‘Azeem (4/437) 

	The Prophet (blessings and peace 
	of Allah be upon him) said to his paternal cousin ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (may 
	Allah be pleased with him): “Be mindful of Allah, and He will protect you.” 
	Narrated by al-Bukhari (2516) 

	So it is not permissible for 
	anyone to blame the jinn for everything that happens to him, so as to make 
	himself free of error or shortcoming, for Allah, may He be exalted, has told 
	us that everything that befalls the individual is because of his own sins 
	and disobedience towards Allah. Good and bad alike are decreed by Allah, may 
	He be exalted, but Allah has decreed it and has decreed its causes along 
	with it, such as obedience or disobedience to Him. Allah, may He be exalted, 
	says (interpretation of the meaning):

And whatever 
	strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He 
	pardons much. (ash-Shoora 42:30)

Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea 
	by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste 
	part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will 
	return [to righteousness]. (ar-Room 30:41).

	This has to do with bad things 
	and misfortune. 

	With regard to good things and 
	happiness, Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

Whoever does 
	righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will 
	surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their 
	reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do. 
	(an-Nahl 16:97)

	{And 
	whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out

	And will 
	provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah 
	- then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. 
	Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.} 
	[al-Talaq 
	65:2-3].

	 So whoever wants a happy, 
	tranquil, good life, and wants things to be made easy for him and to get out 
	of every crisis and problem that he is faced with, has to believe, do 
	righteous deeds and fear Allah. Otherwise, he will never find happiness or 
	peace of mind. 

	But whoever indulges in 
	disobedience to Allah and going against His commands has chosen misery for 
	himself, and if anything happens to him after that, he has no one to blame 
	but himself. 

	It is not wise to fall short in 
	taking measures that will lead to happiness, then spend your time lamenting 
	your situation and the misery you are going through. 

	You have to mend your 
	relationship with Allah, may He be exalted, first of all. Then after that, 
	Allah will set straight all your affairs.
