I am, and this is a rant. I'd prefer it if non-religious/athiests/etc. would refrain from posting negative comments about myself and/or my religion. Thank you.


So, this past year, I've been through hell and back. I was hoping that summer break would help me clear my head, and rethink my approach to life. Because of last year, I had been depressed and angry to the point where it is hard to function. Getting therapy is not an option. Not because I don't want it to be, but for other reasons. That's not the point.

I made some goals this past summer, to slowly start reconstructing my life, and they all fell through, somehow. Somehow, despite my trying I was not able to achieve any of my goals.

So now, I'm going into my first year of college confused, mentally unstable, and with my confidence of my person at an all-time low. This is not what I wanted to happen.

I have tried to reconstruct my life myself, and I have prayed to God about it. Nothing is working.

I feel like this is just my slow dissent into madness/despair/loneliness and a horrible life. All my life, things have never really gone "right" for me, but they've also never gone this wrong.

The people who are religious say that God has a plan for you, even the bad things have a reason. So you can take that approach and assume that this is part of His plan for you.
Or you can take it in another way and make a change yourself

Im not religious, but Im spiritual. I do not believe in God.

Praying to God wont do anything. He isnt going to come down and fix your life for you. He can only help you if you are willing to put forth the effort to make your life better.

Try meditating. No its not blasphemy. Just be where you can be alone and un-disturbed. Get comfortable and just think. Let your mind wonder. Dont try to think. You  will do it naturally. Look up some techniques to help you. This is better than any therapy you can pay for.

Instead of praying to god, try doing something that actually has a chance of working, like seeing a doctor.
