Is backbiting shirk?

Q: Does backbiting mean its shirk and after judgement we cannot go to paradise even after Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)'s intercession?

If I backbited and do not go to the person because of feeling shy, how can I tell this person? Can we do tauba so that Allah knows that we tried our best not to backbite? Can this be forgiven?.

Cure for depression

Q: How do we cure depression? I pray five times a day. I am a religious type of person and I feel that Allah Paak is so close to me, but I always had depression. Can you please help me and tell me why this happens.

Meaning of jealousy

Q: Is jealousy and envy the same sin... If jealousy is felt without the intention of harm, will it be considered as a sin because sometimes I feel jealous for loved ones who get attached to any other person and don't give time to me... Is this the same as envy or is it normal because I have no intention of harm?
