The answer

Repentance is obligatory for neglecting prayer. One must also disregard all obsessive thoughts and not succumb to them, such as deeming bedding, clothes, phones, or anything one touches impure based merely on doubt. The fundamental principle for all things is purity. Furthermore, one must make up the prayers that were missed or were performed without proper purification.
