Has any chronic depresso ever felt a strong drawing to religion?
I’m not religious at all, I’ve been to christian churches a few times for funerals and I asked my aunt if I could go with her a few years back but it was a one time thing.
I’m just really depressed, have been for years, several hospital stays, few suicide attempts, general low mood, medications, lonely and alone, and have a negative outlook on life. The whole shebang of things.
I’ve been toying with the idea of religion being the answer to my depression and shit life, but I don't even believe in the existence of god but i am still open to hearing his message.
thanks for reading.

Believing in God and getting to know Him would be a start. I don't know how God can help you if you don't believe in Him.
ReplyIt can certainly help yes. There's usually quite friendly welcoming people at churches. I would certainly try it. You don't have anything to lose by going.
Replyrather than seeking religion, seek a relationship with God. the christian faith is based in a relationship with Him, not practices or tradition it seems like you are searching for Him, and He is calling for you :)
Replyok thanks
ReplyI’d also like to recommend the movie Jesus revolution, its a retelling of the revival in the 60s-70s. i think it does a great job of depicting the search for something more, and the realization that God is the truth. its also quite entertaining too :) I love you, and so does He. He can take those bad feelings away if you give your life to Him.
Replythanks for the rec! i'll give it a watch. and thanks for saying that u love me and so does god, i've never heard that before even if u dont mean it.
Replyyou might find a relief in islam
Replyehhh idk
ReplyIslam doesn't have a good reputation. Just sayin'.
ReplyI think religion could make you worse. You'll not be living in reality if you go there. So many religious people don't make sense and are deluded. Live in the real world. Religion can really fuck with your mind. Stay away.
